‘Love Law, Love Life’: Neoliberalism, Wellbeing and Gender in the Legal Profession—The Case of Law School

Abstract

The state of academia must reflect broader social processes: since globalization ultimately affects everything, it stands to reason that the knowledge economy will also be altered. The reduction of state funding to universities and the general move to a corporate profit culture are other relevant forces. Surprisingly there has been little attempt to document systematically either the extent or the shape of these changes in the way universities work, or to consider what kinds of impact they might be having on staff, students or knowledge—one of the things universities supposedly exist for.1The context in which professional legal ethics operate is a crucial factor in evaluating the choices confronting lawyers and the pressures that may influence how these ethical dilemmas are resolved.2
