"James Moliterno's The American Legal Profession in Crisis: Resistance and Responses to Change joins a raft of recent books about the looming crisis facing the legal profession. What sets this book apart is Moliterno's recognition that the profession has bounced from crisis to crisis to crisis for more than 100 years, and that many of the more contemporary crises are echoes of crisis of the past. Moliterno develops his argument through ten chapters, eight of which discuss a particular issue or set of issues that the profession struggled with, or in a few cases, is still struggling with." --Herbert M.
