Mike’s article, The Lawyers Social Contract, was published in the June/July 2024 edition of Landslide Magazine, a publication of the American Bar Association Intellectual Property Law Section. The article explores how the principles of social contract theory are deeply embedded in the ethical framework of the legal profession. It delves into the ethical obligations lawyers have towards their clients, the courts, and opposing parties, as well as their broader responsibility to serve the public through pro bono work and other forms of public service.
