The New Lawyer by Julie Macfarlane
This provocative, intelligent work looks at the evolving role of lawyers, articulating legal and ethical complexities, the growth of conflict resolution, and the increasing impact of alternative strategies on the lawyer-client relationship and the legal system.
The New Lawyer is the first book to thoroughly research and describe the massive changes in the legal profession and practice in the last three decades, and to make a serious attempt to predict what will happen in the decades to follow … an outstanding effortReaders will not be disappointed. -- Deborah Macfarlane * Law and Politics Book Review, Vol 19. No. 7 *
The Justice system is ever changing and Ms. MacFarlane has enunciated some constructive alternatives to the public concept of lawyers as courtroom battlers. The author outlines the new lawyer who has shifted strategy to also consider mediation and restorative justice. The book is useful to trial lawyers in that it outlines how to benefit by learning how to best use these options. -- Ronald F. MacIsaac * Barrister, Issue 87 *
Professor Julie Macfarlane is onto something here. As she does in the Preface to The New Lawyer, I too would recommend this book not only to those lawyers who may be disillusioned with what she calls the “warrior mentality ” of legal practice but also to lawyers who may be sceptical of the alternative legal image […] Macfarlane ’s compromise convergence produces a happy hybrid that many lawyers can relate to and already see within themselves — a lawyer who is both a fighter and a settler and who helps the client both engage with conflict and make a “game plan for victory.” -- Andrew Pirie, University of Victoria * Osgoode Hall Law Journal, Vol.46 *
It is a researched and learned discussion and is an extremely valuable […] book for anyone wanting to understand the broad changes in advanced western democracies which have been and are still happening. It highlights some issues and tensions which will impact how best to carry out your role as a New Lawyer. […] On the whole the book is thought provoking […]. I do not know of any other attempt to deal with the whole issue so well. Ms. Macfarlane is to be congratulated. -- John Pender * LEADR Monthly E-Newsletter *
