The GoodWork Project in Law explored how legal professionals respond to current challenges
and strive to achieve good work in four subdomains of the law, described below.  The project
also included a case study of a sudden and unexpected closing of an established law firm.
  From 1999-2004, a total of 87 professionals between the ages of 35-80 were interviewed
in the following threads of the project:

• Cyberlaw: In order to understand how rapid technological changes and particularly
  the growth of the Internet were influencing law, we interviewed 17 lawyers in the
  emerging field of Cyberlaw. 
  
  
• Criminal Justice: In our criminal justice study, we explored possible schisms between
  personal and professional values.  We interviewed 26 Criminal lawyers including
  defense attorneys, prosecutors, and Federal, Superior, and District Court judges.
  
  
• Corporate Law: We interviewed 17 Mergers and Acquisition lawyers. These subjects
  were practicing in large urban areas and were energetically engaged in a highly
  specific kind of practice (M&A) where pressures and financial stakes are great. 
  
  
• Small Town lawyers: For a contrast to our M&A study, we embarked on a study of
  small town General Practice lawyers.  We conducted interviews with 15 small town
  lawyers.  All subjects were graduates of top 10 law schools who elected to practice
  in communities of under 50,000 inhabitants.
  
  
• Case study of Hill & Barlow:  When the respected Boston law firm of Hill & Barlow
  closed at the end of 2001 after a cohort of real estate lawyers announced their
  departure, we saw an opportunity to examine the issues that seemed to be
  influencing lawyers all over the country. We interviewed 12 former partners for
  this case study.
