What is the sociological definition of a profession? What are the four hallmarks of a profession? Now consider, how often do you see advertisements for professions? What about the law profession in particular? Do commercials influence your opinion of this profession? What are the common messages in these commercials?

The future of the law profession is on trial and you are the judge. First, act as the prosecuting attorney and present evidence from your analysis of the 10 online advertisements for attorneys that the legal profession is de-professionalizing. Then present the defense’s case using the NPR broadcast as evidence. As judges, make a final ruling on your classmates’ presentations, they will rule on your case. You may appeal.
