This book consists of seven essays exploring the impact of lawyers and law on social change. The title essay and two others have been widely read in major legal publications and assigned in law school classes; four new essays, never before published, are also included in this thought provoking book. Written over the course of his 25 years as General Counsel to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Bachmann's essays discuss attacks on the legal profession; living the life of the activist lawyer; the ability (or lack thereof) of law and lawyers to effect lasting social change; the efficacy of poverty law; the religious perspective and social change concerns; and recent developments in law and social change. This book is published by Unlimited Publishing LLC in conjunction with the Acorn Cultural Trust, a non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of culture in the interest of low and moderate income people.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lawyers, Law And Social Change (Paperback)
Lawyers, Law, And Social Change by practicing attorney Steve Bachmann is a memorable and insightful collection of seven essays about the profound impression lawyers and law has made on social change. Essay topics range from the seemingly endless attacks from pop culture jokes, to much more severe threats on the legal profession, to the efficacy of poverty law. Lawyers, Law And Social Change is an eye-opening "must-read" for anyone interested by the immense impact that the American legal system has had on our social systems.
