Description

Alfredo MirandŽ, a sociology professor, Stanford Law graduate, and part-time pro bono attorney, represents clients who are rascuacheÑa Spanish word for ÒpoorÓ or even ÒwretchedÓÑand on the margins of society. For MirandŽ, however, rascuache means to be Òdown but not out,Ó an underdog who is still holding its ground. Rascuache Lawyer offers a unique perspective on providing legal services to poor, usually minority, folks who are often just one short step from jail. Not only a passionate argument for rascuache lawyering, it is also a thoughtful, practical attempt to apply and test critical race theoryÑparticularly Latino critical race theoryÑin day-to-day legal practice. Every chapter presents an actual case from MirandŽÕs experience (only the names and places have been changed). His clients have been charged with everything from carrying a concealed weapon, indecent exposure, and trespassing to attempted murder, domestic violence, and child abuse. Among them are recent Mexican immigrants, drug addicts, gang members, and the homeless. All of them are destitute, and many are victims of racial profiling. Some ÒpayÓ MirandŽ with bartered services such as painting, home repairs, or mechanical work on his car. And MirandŽ doesnÕt always win their cases. But, as he recounts, he certainly works tirelessly to pursue all legal remedies. Each case is presented as a letter to a fascinating (fictional) ÒSuper ChicanaÓ named Fermina Gabriel, who we are told is an accomplished lawyer, author, and singer. This narrative device allows the author to present his cases as if he were recounting them to a friend, drawing in the reader as a friend as well. Bookending the individual cases, MirandŽÕs introductions and conclusions offer a compelling vision of progressive legal practice grounded in rascuache lawyering.
