Synopsis

This detailed ethnographic study of the issues of power, intrepretation, and identity involved in becoming a lawyer follows six students through a year-long writing course. The book examines how language issues reflect the relationships that these first-year law students build between themselves and both the legal texts they are taught and the clients they will represent. The data considered include all of the legal memos and briefs the students produced for the course, their teacher's commentary on these texts, and extensive interview data from both the students and teachers.
