Making Elite Lawyers, a gripping account of legal education at Harvard University, probes into the reasons why most students, despite their political views, choose corporate law practice over public interest work upon graduation. Drawing on questionnaires, his own classroom observations, and in-depth interviews with students, Robert Granfield documents the conservatizing effects of the Harvard legal education on a broad cross-section of students, across class, race and gender lines.
