In this stirring analysis, Anthony Kronman describes a spiritual crisis affecting the American legal profession. He attributes it to the collapse of what he calls the ideal of the lawyer-statesman: a set of values that prizes good judgment above technical competence and that encourages a public-spirited devotion to the law.
