In Response to “Revisiting Blumberg's ‘The Practice of Law As A Confidence Game’” by Professor Gilbert Geis

In his article, Professor Geis touches on many of the themes raised by Professor Blumberg’s famous 1967 article, ‘‘The Practice of Law as a Confidence Game.’’ I write to respond briefly to a few of Geis’s points. Like Geis and Blumberg, I am limited by the lack of field studies and empirical data in this area, and rely therefore largely on my own experiences as a criminal defense lawyer in Manhattan, both as a public defender and a private attorney.
