ABSTRACT
When I was a young law student, then a legal services attorney .and finally a clinical law teacher, practicing "in the interests of justice" often meant either winning a legal case for a particular disadvantaged person or moving a legal precedent once inch forward in a larger law reform campaign for a cause.2 Justice-whatever it means
philosophically and practically-was tied expressly to law: legal cases and precedents, statutes and regulations. In other words, the purpose of practice was to achieve some sense of righteous equity in human conditions through the use of law and legal rights.
