Abstract
In 1916, Julius Henry Cohen—the subject of this conference—took up the now-perennial debate concerning whether law is a business or a profession, coming down on the side that, although legal practice had become too commercialized of late, law was and should be a profession. In 2010, Tom Morgan—one of the participants in this conference—addressed the same question in his book The Vanishing American Lawyer and provocatively concluded, contrary to Cohen, that “Law in America is not a profession—and that’s a good thing.”
