520 |a From the nineteenth-century exhortations of legal ethics pioneer David Hoffman to the current pop culture provocations of Al Pacino, the story of the legal profession has been told through the religious imagery of the priesthood. While this analogy certainly has a bit of rhetorical flourish at its core, it reflects the widespread perception of the unifying, central role that the law plays in modern American society. Past eras may have looked to religion as the common framework under which everyday existence proceeds, but the law has long since usurped it. So while priests, as administrators providing access to that unifying framework in their role as mediators between God and man. were once essential figures in the collective life of society, today their place has been taken by lawyers, who provide access to our common framework of legal rights and privileges.
