Litowitz identifies six factors in today's legal profession that have a detrimental effect on young lawyers and suggests how the profession can be reformed. Drawing upon empirical data and firsthand reports, he describes how students lose their social conscience in law school and criticizes the "pointless ritual" of the bar exam. He also explains how profit considerations have transformed a once-noble calling into a bottom-line-focused business. Litowitz (law, Ohio Northern U.) has practiced corporate and securities law.
