This volume of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society examines the situation of large law firms. The articles collected here address the following questions: How has the large law firm altered, or adapted to, the ideals/ideology of the legal profession? How do law firms function as organizations? What happens to firms when they globalize their practices? What is the situation of scholarship on large law firms? Has the firm been incorporated into boarder interdisciplinary configurations? What, if any,new paradigms ofstudy of firms areon the horizon?. 410 0$aStudies in law, politics, and society ;$vv. 52. 606 $aLaw$xTrial Practice$2bisacsh 606 $aLaw$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aLaw & society$2bicssc 606 $aCourts & procedure$2bicssc 606 $aLaw offices 606 $aLaw firms 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 615 7$aLaw$xTrial Practice. 615 7$aLaw$xGeneral. 615 7$aLaw & society. 615 7$aCourts & procedure. 615 0$aLaw offices. 615 0$aLaw firms. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a306.2 701 $aSarat$b Austin$0254475 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785241803321 996 $aSpecial issue$93706161 997 $aUNINA
