: Legal Pad | LAChemerinsky slams judge for ridiculing pro bono work as anti-social
By Jason Siegel
UC-Irvine School of Law dean Erwin Chemerinsky wrote in this week's NLJ that 2d U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals chief judge Dennis Jacobs
"should be ashamed of himself."
In a speech earlier this month, Jacobs said "that much of what we call legal work for the public interest is essentially selfserving: Lawyers use public interest litigation to promote their own agendas, social and political--and (on a wider plane) to promote the power and the role of the legal profession itself.
Chemerinsky writes in his opinion article that he fears "[Jacobs'] marks will provide the
excuse for law firms to be less supportive of their attorneys doing
volunteer legal work and the rationalization for lawyers doing less to
help others."
