Political Lawyers
Some research on lawyers active in politics has found that the ties among them create networks in which a center or core of influential actors is surrounded by more peripheral participants. Other studies, however, found more segmented networks, sometimes lacking central players. This research examines the structure and determinants of political ties among forty-seven elite lawyers who served organizations prominent in fourteen national policy iss…

Lawyers of the Right
Lawyers for conservative and libertarian causes are active in organizing and mobilizing interest groups within the conservative coalition, and networks of relationships among those lawyers help to maintain and shape the coalition. Using data gathered in interviews with seventy-two such lawyers, this article analyzes characteristics of the lawyers and the structure of their networks. The findings suggest that the networks are divided into segments…
Lawyers for Conservative Causes
Scholars have devoted attention to "cause lawyers" on the political left, but lawyers who work on the conservative side of the American political spectrum have received relatively little academic consideration. This article presents systematic data on the characteristics of and relationships among lawyers affiliated with organizations active on a selected set of 17 conservative issues. We find that the lawyers serve several separate and distinct …
Lawyers' Roles in Voluntary Associations
The extent and nature of lawyers' participation in civic life probably has important effects on the character of the community's activity and its outcomes. Where and how lawyers participate in voluntary associations may influence the ability of those organizations to function within the larger structure of American institutions. This paper compares findings from two surveys of Chicago lawyers, the first conducted in 1975 and the second in 1994-95…
The Scale of Justice
In the last quarter of the twentieth century, urban law practice changed markedly. Using data from two surveys of Chicago lawyers, the first in 1975 and the second in 1995, the article argues that the most consequential development was the sheer increase in the size of firms. The organization of the delivery of legal services was restructured, and the relationships between lawyers and clients changed. Growth in the power and prestige of corporate…
The Changing Character of Lawyers' Work
This article compares findings from two surveys of Chicago lawyers, the first conducted in 1975 and the second in 1995. The earlier study indicated that the Chicago bar was then divided into two broad sectors or "hemispheres," one serving large corporations and similar organizations and the other serving individuals and small businesses. Analyses of the structure of co-practice of the fields of law indicate that the hemispheres are now less disti…
The Constituencies of Elite Urban Lawyers
This study analyzes Chicago lawyers' networks of relationships with a selected set of prominent practitioners, drawing on 1994-95 interviews with 788 randomly selected respondents. Since the same technique was used 20 years earlier, the research sheds light on the extent to which the constituencies of elite Chicago lawyers have changed. The network is organized in three principal sectors-liberals, trial lawyers, and corporate lawyers. The structu…
The Hollow Core
The Hollow Core
The hollow core
Draws on interviews with interest groups, lobbyists and government officials to assess private organizations' efforts to influence federal policy in agriculture, energy, health and labour policy. They reveal and explain the absence of any central core of influentials in the policy process.
Networks among Elites in a Local Criminal Justice System
This structural analysis of the relationships among participants in a criminal justice system, viewed in its political context, pursues John Hagan's suggestion that criminal justice theory adopt a "structural-contextual approach." Drawing on data from a survey of 211 criminal justice administrators, interest group leaders, and news reporters in Cook County, Illinois, we examine networks of contact among the various governmental elites and private…
Inner Circles or Hollow Cores? Elite Networks in National Policy Systems
Much of the literature on American national policy-making suggests that an important role is played by an "inner circle" of elite representatives of private interests. Using data drawn from interviews with a large sample of Washington lawyers and other representatives of private interests active in four broad policy areas (agriculture, energy, health, and labor), the authors describe the structure of relationships between a random sample of the r…
Who You Know versus What You Know
Private interest representatives in Washington are often said to exploit prior experience with the federal government, especially their contacts with officials, to gain advantage for their client groups. Data on 776 interest representatives are examined to estimate the frequency and institutional location of prior governmental experience. Just over half of the respondents had had some such service; twice as many in the executive branch as in the …
Lawyers and the Structure of Influence in Washington
Despite the widespread perception that lawyers exercise considerable influence over national policy making in the United States, their participation in the process has previously received little systematic empirical analysis. Based on a variety of evidence gathered in interviews with more than eight hundred Washington representatives, including data on their work, careers, contacts with government agencies, networks of acquaintance, and relations…
Who Works with Whom? Interest Group Alliances and Opposition
Interest-group interactions may be examined in ways comparable to the analysis of conflict and coalition in other areas of political science. We seek to measure and compare the structure of interest-group participation and conflict in four domains of U.S. domestic policy: agriculture, energy, health, and labor. Data are drawn from a survey of 806 representatives of organizations with interests in federal policy, supplemented by interviews with 30…
Washington Lawyers and Others
When one thinks of Washington lawyer, one tends to think of Clark Clifford or Lloyd Cutler. We naturally focus on the handful of lawyer-statesmen who move in and out of high government office and who are essentially public figures, presumed to possess wide influence. Given a bit more reflection or sophistication, one might also call to mind those superlawyers who are less visible to the general public but who nonetheless are nearly universally kn…
Chicago Lawyers
The legal profession has grown immensely in size, diversity, and influence but some lawyers clearly have more influence than others. What determines the systematic allocation of status, power and economic reward among lawyers? What kind of social structure organizes lawyers' roles in the bar and in the larger community? As John P. Heinz and Edward O. Laumann demonstrate, the legal profession is stratified primarily by the character of the clients…
