The Institute of Bill of Rights Law (William & Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law) and the William & Mary Law Review present Citizen Lawyer, Feb. 8-9, 2008:
This conference will critically examine the “citizen lawyer” idea. Even the definition of the citizen lawyer can be a broadly debated thing. Some would say the citizen lawyer is the lawyer who serves in government or specifically in public office. Some focus on the pro bono aspect, identifying the citizen lawyer as one who does public service of a wide variety. Some, holding the broadest view would say that all lawyers are citizen lawyers, serving as they do a critical role in the justice system or the economic life of the country.
