I highly recommend, the superb new book by Stuart M. Speiser, "The Founding Lawyers and America’s Quest for Justice." I urge ethicists in particular to read his chapter, "The Myth of the Purifying Lawyer-Statesman," in which Speiser demolishes the Kronman-Glendon-et al. myth of a "lost lawyer" and of a Golden Age in which American lawyers were statesmen whose overriding concern was the public interest. Of course, this point has been made before by Marc Galanter and others, but none as thoroughly as Speiser.
