Everyone Hiring a Criminal-Defense Lawyer Should Read This

 Posted on January 05,2014 in Uncategorized

In Casual cruelty–part two Judge Kopf mentioned "Abraham S. Blumberg's 1967 classic entitled The Practice of Law as a Confidence Game: Organizational Cooptation of a Profession."

Confidence games, law, and the cooptation of the profession? That sounded right up my alley. I found a copy in the wild. After reading it a couple of times, I am convinced that it is something that everyone needing to hire a criminal-defense lawyer should read and understand. It is poorly written ("classic"?) and unsourced, but utterly cynical and mostly true.

Read it.
