The Making of Lawyers' Careers

Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession

By: Robert L. Nelson,Ronit Dinovitzer,Bryant G. Garth,Joyce S. Sterling,David B. Wilkins,Meghan Dawe,Ethan Michelson

An unprecedented account of social stratification within the US legal profession. How do race, class, gender, and law school status condition the career trajectories of lawyers? And how do professionals then navigate these parameters? The Making of Lawyers’ Careers provides an unprecedented account of the last two decades of the legal profession in the US, offering a data-backed look at the structure of the profession and the inequalities that early-career lawyers face across race, gender, and class distinctions. Starting in 2000, the authors collected over 10,000 survey responses from more than 5,000 lawyers, following these lawyers through the first twenty years of their careers. They also interviewed more than two hundred lawyers and drew insights from their individual stories, contextualizing data with theory and close attention to the features of a market-driven legal profession. Their findings show that lawyers’ careers both reflect and reproduce inequalities within society writ large. They also reveal how individuals exercise agency despite these constraints.

Beyond The Galaxy: How Humanity Looked Beyond Our Milky Way And Discovered The Entire Universe

By: Ethan Siegel

A look up at the night sky reveals a treasury of wonders. Even to the naked eye, the Moon, stars, planets, the Milky Way and even a few star clusters and nebulae illuminate the heavens. For millennia, humans struggled to make sense of what's out there in the Universe, from all we can see to that which lies beyond the limits of even our most powerful telescopes. Beyond the Galaxy traces our journey from an ancient, Earth-centered Universe all the way to our modern, 21st century understanding of the cosmos. Touching on not only what we know but also how we know it, Ethan Siegel takes us to the very frontiers of modern astrophysics and cosmology, from the birth of our Universe to its ultimate fate, and everything in between.

Zephyr of Change

By: Ethan Shaw

Economic ruin has descended on Europe. Civil war among the drug cartels in Mexico rages out of control. The United States Federal Government debates endlessly, but does nothing as the ruin in Europe slowly spreads around the world. With the end drawing near, Governor Katherine Brewster calls upon an intrepid businesswoman with a shaky past and the few allies they have to save California before infighting among the cartels spreading north and government corruption destroys them all...and takes the country with them. Meanwhile, Detective Timothy Burns works the streets of Los Angeles on the LAPD Gang Taskforce as turf wars begin erupting out of control without cause or warning. As the body-count racks up, he begins to realize that not everything, including the motives of the government he serves, is as it seems, and may be about to doom them all...

Essays and Pensées on Milton and Camus

By: Ethan Lewis

This book comprises an extensive series of analyses which span the respective oeuvres of these, surprisingly paired, world literary masters. The poet and novelist-philosopher, though treated separately, nevertheless prove complementary book-fellows. Notably, both espouse and practice a vigilant attentiveness; the obligation to strive for good by one’s lights, and to create lest history repeat; and on rare occasions, a duty to engage in moral contradiction for a higher cause, though only after the most scrupulous reflection. This book presents the ingenious artistry of both writers and further proves their contemporary relevance, as well as giving readers the ability to look at the works of Milton and Camus through a new lens.

The Making of Lawyers' Careers

Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession

By: Robert L. Nelson,Ronit Dinovitzer,Bryant G. Garth,Joyce S. Sterling,David B. Wilkins,Meghan Dawe,Ethan Michelson

How do hierarchies of race, class, gender, and law school status condition the career trajectories of lawyers? And how do individual lawyers strategically navigate the constraints and opportunities of their environments? Where do they find professional satisfaction? This book offers an unprecedented account of opportunity structures and social stratification within the early 21st century American legal profession, combining unique longitudinal survey data with interviews, storytelling, and insights from social theory. Starting in 2000, the authors collected over 10,000 survey responses from more than 5,000 lawyers, following these lawyers through the first twenty years of their careers. They also conducted in-depth interviews with more than 200 lawyers. They contextualize their findings through attention to the features of a market-driven legal profession, in particular the growth in recent decades of the private sector relative to the public sector and corresponding disparities in earnings and status between these different segments. The analysis in this book reveals a legal profession that is highly stratified. Although individual lawyers exercise agency and often find satisfaction in their work, there are deep divisions within the profession by client type and practice setting, and women and attorneys of color face discrimination and persistent barriers to advancement. The careers of lawyers both reflect and reproduce inequalities in law and society writ large"--
