Overview
From data gathered in the legislatures of four states --California, New Jersey, Ohio, and Tennessee--Eulau and Sprague here present a lucid analysis of the lawyer's ubiquity in politics and of the political behavior of lawyer-legislators. They also examine the implications of the convergence of politics and the legal profession, the growing professionalization of politics, and the rise of new occupational groups.
