One of the books my reading group read was Anthony Kronman's The Lost Lawyer. In it, he bemoans a shift in the character of the legal profession away from solitary practitioners with strong ties to their clients and the surrounding community to todays increasingly impersonal and mercenary corporate environment. He doesn't see much hope for change, either, recommending that law students looking to really live the good old days go to into practice by themselves in small-town America.
Sometime Legal Underground correspondent Stan Stankowski seems to agree with Kronman.
