With primary season just behind us, and another election day fast approaching, I find myself increasingly occupied by what I believe to be a rarely-discussed problem facing young lawyers today. They simply are not being given sufficient opportunity to seek meaningful civic and political involvement.
While we hear much about the volunteer and community service efforts of young people, and even a certain amount about the political engagement of that same generation, young lawyers are, in my view, thwarted from finding a meaningful role in politics and public life by their employers’ own quest to improve the “bottom line” of their financial performance.
