| dc.description.abstract | This essay attempts to examine a theoretical question from a practical standpoint: is it possible, or even desirable, for the legal aid lawyer to pursue a greater mission -- and if so, what should that mission be? It is my hope that by analyzing the attorney-client relationship, one might discover an approach to legal aid lawyering that is more enriching to both client and counselor: one that not only helps clients achieve their 'private', short-term goals, but also serves a community interest consistent with 'public' service aspirations. I will approach this subject by examining three basic areas: the roles of lawyer and client, how those roles play out in the attorney-client relationship, and finally how lawyers might be able to square the tension between seeking justice for the client (as an individual) and having a positive impact on larger issues of social justice.
