Abstract
The J. Byron McCormick Lecture
Some years ago, in a lecture at another law school, I traced the decline of the law as a profession, in a rather special sense of "profession" that I associated with the medieval guild. In another sense, however, the law has become more professional in the very same period on which the earlier lecture focused. But in another and more profound sense the law is lagging alarmingly behind a wave of genuine professionalism that is one of the big underreported stories of our time. My effort in this lecture will be to untangle these distinct senses of "professionalism" and consider the implications for the future of American law.
