  • From Stratification to Reconfiguration: Toward a New Research Agenda on Lawyers’ Careers

    Open Access•Robert Nelson, Ronit Dinovitzer et al.•ARTICLE•Law & Social Inquiry•2026

    This essay argues for a shift in sociolegal scholarship on lawyers’ careers from a framework centered on stratification to one attentive to reconfiguration under changing institutional conditions. Building on the findings of the After the JD project and related scholarship, we suggest that enduring hierarchies of race, gender, class, and professional prestige are increasingly reorganized through fragmentation of the professional field, technologi…

  • Law, Empires, Legal Professions, and Status Hierarchies: Comparative Perspectives

    This article examines the local and global processes that produce and shape the legal profession and its relevant national hierarchies, emphasizing the role of law schools, practice settings, career pathways, legacies of imperialism, colonialism, and external forces such as globalization.

  • A reflection on 30 years of complementary collaboration

    Open Access•Yves Dezalay, Bryant Garth•ARTICLE•Journal of Law and Society•2021

    This article, invited by the editors, provides us with an opportunity to reflect on a scholarly collaboration of more than 30 years. Looking backwards, we believe our success has come in part from the different backgrounds that we bring to our collaboration. It also comes from the fact that neither of us at the time we met was comfortable with the scholarly models that we were intellectually programmed to pursue in our individual careers. We disc…

  • The New Place of Corporate Law Firms in the Structuring of Elite Legal Careers

    Open Access•Ronit Dinovitzer, Bryant Garth•ARTICLE•Law & Social Inquiry•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 10

    For more than a century, a partnership position in a large corporate law firm has almost universally been held out as the singular mark of success for those with a law degree. We find that despite significant transformations in the profession, including dramatic expansion in size and the opening of corporate law positions to women, minorities, and the graduates of lower-ranked schools, the powerful and prestigious positions of corporate law partn…

  • Corporate Lawyers in Emerging Markets

    The growth of corporate law firms in emerging markets is mainly followed by practitioner journals reporting new offices and mergers, the openness of markets to non-national lawyers, and various rankings of local and transnational law firms. There is a small but growing academic literature that, for the most part, relies on US theoretical models, asking whether the corporate law firms are converging toward a global standard or what form of global/…

    A construção legal de uma política de notáveis. A história do Bar Indiano ilustra os fatores sociais que determinam o entrelaçamento entre direito e política - assim como seus altos e baixos. Assim, a mobilização do Bar contra o estado de emergência imposto por Indira Gandhi não foi suficiente para restaurar seu crédito político, obtido durante as lutas pela independência e perdido por conta da sua oposição às reformas agrárias.

  • State Politics and Legal Markets

    Yves Dezalay, Bryant Garth et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Sociology•2011•Cited by: 7

    The paper begins by exploring literature on the legal profession that tends to obscure questions at the heart of our research. It then turns to our approach, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu, which looks beyond the category of profession as such to the social space in which professions are situated. The key from our perspective is to examine both the social interests embedded in law and lawyers and the specific interests of learned professionals themse…

  • Marketing and selling transnational 'judges' and global 'experts: Building the Credibility of (Quasi)judicial Regulation

    Drawing on examples from the fields of international commercial arbitration and international human rights, in particular, and also on trade, intellectual property and governance, this article explores the processes through which transnational norms are created and legitimated. The article rejects approaches that presume an international consensus around norms or simply the imposition of Northern norms and technologies on the South, showing inste…

  • L'impérialisme moral: Les juristes et l'impérialisme américain (Philippines, Indonésie)

    Cet article vise à montrer les continuités entre la politique d’impérialisme moral, expérimentée à l’occasion de la colonisation des Philippines par les États-Unis au début du XX e siècle, et les stratégies de domination symbolique qui leur ont permis de s’imposer comme puissance hégémonique à la faveur de la guerre froide. En effet, les lawyers de Wall Street, qui furent les architectes de cette stratégie de légitimation de la colonisation, sont…

  • Lawyer Satisfaction in the Process of Structuring Legal Careers

    Open Access•Ronit Dinovitzer, Bryant Garth et al.•ARTICLE•Law & Society Review•2007•Cited by: 25•References: 37

    This article proposes a new approach to the study of job satisfaction in the legal profession. Drawing on a Bourdieusian understanding of the relationship between social class and dispositions, we argue that job satisfaction depends in part on social origins and the credentials related to these origins, with social hierarchies helping to define the expectations and possibilities that produce professional careers. Through this lens, job satisfacti…

    Over the past 20 years, international commercial arbitration has been transformed and institutionalized as the leading contractual method for the resolution of transnational commercial disputes. It has become an important institution of the growing international market. Although the process is far from unidirectional, this work of social construction can be described as a rationalization in the Weberian sense and also as an "Americanization" that…

Par contre, en devenant le champion des plus défavorisés, la Cour suprême s’est imposée comm…
