Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; "The legal profession, like much of the rest of American society, was transformed between 1890 and 1930. This study examines the shifting professional ideology of the American bar elite as it reacted to and shaped the new professional environment. It focuses on the leadership of three institutions central in the bar's transformation: the large law firm, the law school, and the bar association. It also evaluates the adequacy of the "organizational synthesis," the reigning paradigm in studies of turn-of-the-century professionalization movements." - Preface. ; American Legal and Constitutional History; Ex-Library; 467 pages.
