Know about the book -

Divorce Lawyers at Work(English, Hardcover, Mather Lynn) is written by Mather Lynn and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195145151 (ISBN 10) and 9780195145151 (ISBN 13).

The authors look at how divorce lawyers actually work to address the question of legal professionalism in practice. Through a detailed and systematic study of legal practice at the micro level, they show how lawyers create their own controls over work through their social relationships, formal and informal norms, common knowledge, and shared values. While much of the research on legal professionalism centers on the formal standards of the bar as reflected in codesof professional responsibility, Mather et al. show how the discretionary judgments that lawyers make, and the choices they face, are actually understood in relation to norms and standards of other lawyers with whom they interact or compare themselves.
