e Making of the ‘Corporate Lawyer ’
In their exploration and analysis of lawyers operating at the public-private border in
France, Antoine Vauchez and Pierre France examine several factors and analyze their
contribution to the growth and pervasiveness of “revolving doors” betwe en the state
and private sectors. eir opening chapter is a comprehensive historical overview
of the legal profession’s transformation from the latter decades of the 20th century
to the present. ey depart from the point where the Bar Associations and other
legal professional associations, far from acting strictly as autonomous professional
organizations, started to serve as bree ding grounds of political elites for the French
political, administrative, and bureaucratic systems, and thus became part and parcel
of the state (p. 18). By the 1980s, successive neoliberal reforms saw several state insti-
tutions privatized, and it is here that the authors chronicle the crucial role played by
these lawyers-turned-state officials in driving the legal asp ects of this privatization,
converting the lawyer into a corporate lawyer (p. 19).
