Taking Weber Seriously: Lawyers, Politics, and the Liberal State
Stuart A. Scheingold
Stuart A. Scheingold is professor of political science, University of Washington. I would like to begin acknowledging my debts by thanking Wes Pue, who urged me to undertake this essay and responded in a patient and savvy way to my initial reading of the book. This exchange was but one of the pleasures of out jointly taught seminar on lawyers in the law faculty at the University of British Columbia. Terry Halliday and Lucien Karpik provided a constructive critique of an early draft. Their suggestions along with those of Marie Provine helped me with the finishing touches. As always, I benefited from the encouragement and counsel of Dan Lev and Michael McCann–my friends and indispensable intellectual co-conspirators at the University of Washington.
