> | People often refer to "multiple personalities," so the first step is to understand exactly what we are talking about when we say "personality." Accordingly, I will first set forth the account of personality advocated by Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). While it might initially appear counterintuitive to posit that manifesting multiple-- and often disparate or contradictory-- roles is compatible with any concept of a stable, singular personality, I plan to use philosopher H.P. Grice to argue that CAT’s account is theoretically consistent. Finally, I will conclude by proposing how individuals can better understand their own personalities and the flexibility of the roles they assume and ascribe to others in social life. And this is how individuals’ “multiple personalities” can be utilized by the aspiring lawyer. | | | Understanding "personality" | |
<
< | People often refer to "multiple personalities" in everyday life, so the first step is to understand exactly what we are talking about when we say "personality." Psychologist Philip Pollock and others have explained that "healthy identity development should comprise no evidence of dissociation and smooth, integrated and flexible deployment of a range of RRPs [ie. roles] in a socially appropriate manner, with experience of oneself as continuous and coherent." It follows that psychology distinguishes between "personality"/ "identity" and "role"/ "self state." A healthy individual has one personality but exhibits multiple roles. This resonates most with Eben's interpretation of the Leff piece, where he described how in social life we assign one another roles and reinforce them-- for example, in some social relations I might act as the nurturer, in others the nurtured, in still others as the rebel, and so on. | >

This resonates most with Eben's interpretation of the Leff piece, where he described how in social life we assign one another roles and reinforce them (eg. in some social relations I might act as the nurturer, in others the nurtured, etc.).
Grice argues that personality is an interlocking series of "total temporary states" (TTS). According to Grice, a TTS "is composed of all the experiences any one person is having at a given time” such that experiences E and E′ belong to the same TTS iff they both “would, given certain conditions, be known, by memory or introspection, to be simultaneous.” For example, in the case of a hypothetical law student, assume the TTS at time tx might include as “elements” experiences and memories like attending Barrister's Ball (a), writing an email to a friend back at home last week (b), remembering the Chinese food he picked up last night (c), and reading Criminal Law in the library (d). Given that TTSs "may be said to occur at various times," Grice says they form a temporal series in which any TTS is linked to any other TTS insofar as it would, under certain conditions, "contain as an element a memory of some experience which is an element in [either] some previous” or some subsequent TTS, “there being no subset which is independent of all the rest.” | | | | |

< | Consequently, when people refer to "multiple personality" disorder, they can be said to be referring to individuals who lack connectivity, or integration, between certain recurring roles. For example, Pollock explains how an individual suffering from an "identity disturbance" experiences their self as fragmented due to dissociation which creates discontinuities in things like memory. | >
> | Although CAT’s Multiple Self States Model (MSSM) is generally used in diagnosing personality or identity disorders, it nonetheless provides a useful framework for our purposes. According to the MSSM, there are three levels of personality or identity disturbance: (1) due to some trauma, the person has acquired some maladaptive roles and is not able to flexibly switch among roles; (2) the person lacks metaprocedures that organize the roles hierarchically by social context, which leads to discontinuity of self-experience; and (3) the person lacks the ability to self-reflect/ self- observe (Pollock). | | | | |

Being able to recognize and control one’s roles in various social contexts is a useful tool for the lawyer to work to master, with the ultimate challenge being able to perform the same analysis on others, whether it be to understand one’s own clients or ends more fully, elicit some specific response from a judge, etc. As Eben once asked me in office hours, “What does that [your behavior] say about you?” | >

I apologize if my conclusions appear too broad. For example, I realize that telling the individual to engage in self-reflection is hardly as specific as paint-by-numbers. Nonetheless, these general guidelines should be useful. My answer to the “multiple personalities” question is but one of many. Everyone’s inner journey will be different—both as an aspiring lawyer and as a healthy individual in social life—and so everyone will ultimately need to discover what works for them. As Eben once asked me in office hours, “What does that [your behavior] say about you?” | | |

< | And so, understanding that a healthy personality is a comprised of a multiplicity of integrated roles, the challenge becomes learning how to recognize and manipulate one's roles in a non-psychopathological way in daily social life. I will now go on to suggest two tools I came across in my research which I found most useful: the Multiple Self States Model (MSSM) and the Guided Self-Reflection test. | | |

<
< | I plan to argue that while the “bad man” approaches the law as distinct from ethics, there are situations in which the lawyer will be compelled to make moral judgments. Specifically, when the existing legal system does not easily facilitate his client’s end, the lawyer must decide whether to continue to pursue the end. | >

<
< | According to Holmes, the “bad man” is someone who “cares nothing for an ethical rule” but structures his behavior to “avoid [paying] money” or going to jail. It follows that the “bad man” is not necessarily “bad” but rather someone who acts independently of ethics, viewing the law as its practical consequences. The implication is not that ethics is useless—after all, Holmes admits that “the practice of [ethics], in spite of popular jests, tends to make good citizens and good men.” Rather, Holmes proposes that to be a “master of law,” a future lawyer must look at the law as its material consequences. | >

In short, then, one’s various and even contradictory roles can be seen as ultimately forming a single personality insofar as each role is connected to some other role through some common memory or experience. | | | | |
<
< | This does not at all
follow. In the first place, Holmes said that "if you want to learn
the law, and nothing else you must look at it" as a bad man. I
pointed out at the time that these qualifications are extremely
important, and for some reason law student writing insists on
generalizing them both away, as you do here. Holmes said nothing
about practicing like a bad man, he said the opposite, as you notice.
In the second place, you blow straight through another limitation
here, by stating not even that a practitioner "looks at" law as a bad
man does, but that the practitioner is a bad man. For this
conclusion, there is no logical support
whatever.
And in everyday practice, a successful lawyer views the legal system as a maze, predicting which paths he needs to take to ensure the attainment of his client’s particular end.
So?
Even for a successful lawyer, it is possible that existing legal channels will not easily facilitate the attainment of a client's particular end
Usually, successful lawyers are able to use their predictive powers to know how a client’s case will turn out as soon as they hear the facts.
No. Every successful
lawyer predicts "maybe" on the basis of the facts. The lawyer's
stock (and correct) answer to every question is "it depends."
For example, a woman wanting to get a divorce might have a 60 – 90% of success given the surrounding law and legal reality, as long as the lawyer gets together evidence Y and documents Z. The rate of success depends on which path the lawyer takes in the larger legal system—that is, which arguments he makes, which court he files in, which judge he presents in front of, etc.
A poorly chosen example.
In 49 out of the 50 states, New York being the exception, we have "no
fault" divorce, and any woman who wants a divorce (or any man, for
that matter) gets one. You would have been well advised to
check.
Of course, being able to predict outcomes is not identical with being able to find a way to win every case. Some clients will have ends which the system does not facilitate easily, due to either some explicit law or some underlying legal reality. The obvious case is the former—for example, the man who wants to take a second wife has a negligible chance of success given laws which prohibit polygamy.
It depends. You must
give precise meaning to "take a second wife" in order to know.
Almost all the phenomena of marriage can be duplicated in the context
of polyamory, through one legal device or another, even if the "first
wife" is indeed to remain continuously married to "her" husband
throughout the process. (One of the richest men in America openly
lived in such an arrangement for years, until the death of his first
wife simplified his arangements.) So I would say that the man who
wants to take a second wife has a certain chance of success unless he
defines his objectives in an unusually intractable
fashion.
As an example of the latter, I present the case of Joseph Stack. More specifically, in his suicide letter, Stack emphasized how the tax system was unjust, that the tax laws made it exceeding difficult for him and others like him to earn an honest living. Although he realized early on that the root of the injustice lied in the legal reality of the rich controlling the system at the expense of the poor, Stack nonetheless educated himself on tax law and strove to use the existing legal channels to change the legal system for the better. Despite his efforts, the government “universally treated [him] as if [he] was wasting their time.” Stack had reached a dead end—that is, he finally understood that no matter how strictly and faithfully he maneuvered through the existing legal channels, the legal reality of rich over poor was a roadblock he could not overcome.
No, that's a quite
impossible interpretation of events. He found instead that those who
insist upon turning themselves into personal churches to evade income
tax won't get away with it, no matter how much Kool-Aid was mixed
with the snake oil they bought from the evasion inducer, and no
matter how much they believe the crazy literalist interpretation of
the tax code he taught them.
Of course, it is important to note that part of Stack’s difficulty was the result of his accountant being incompetent/ deceiving him. Nonetheless, given the underlying balance of power, it is unlikely that Stack alone would have been able to evoke change in the tax system. The government would still bail out the rich and leave people like him to “rot.” A “bad man” lawyer representing a client like Stack, then, would be able to predict that the legal system would not easily facilitate Stack’s end. And so, being able to predict such an outcome, the question becomes what options, if any, would be left for the lawyer to pursue.
What a good lawyer could
have done was to give Stack an accurate opinion on tax law and make
him believe it. Any lawyer with decent basic skills could have ended
his stand-off with the IRS over the first episode, by negotiating a
payment schedule for him, after which the Service, once he was paying
them something regularly, would have backed off. A good lawyer could
not only have helped Stack gracefully climb down from the first
confrontation, he could have taught Stack how to select and supervise
a tax accountant (a skill I've had to teach a number of clients over
the course of my practice). This in itself might have been
sufficient to prevent the second and final confrontation, and would
at any rate have made it more likely that Stack would seek advice
from someone reliable again before descending into his suicidal last
stand.
Upon realization that his client's particular end cannot be easily accommodated by the existing legal system, the "bad man" must ultimately make moral judgments
Because he views the law with an eye towards prediction, the successful lawyer would determine how much a judgment in Stack’s favor would ultimately cost. After all, one implication of living in a legal reality where the rich rule at the expense of the poor is that the poor, too, can get their own ends satisfied—for a price. The lawyer will weigh the variety of paths within the legal system he might take. For example: he can exploit the system’s human efficiencies by paying off officials; he can plan the overthrow of the system by force; or he can thrust all his effort into changing the existing legal channels to accommodate the ends of people like Stack. If in his calculation he finds the end prohibitive given limited resources like money and time, he can either refer Stack’s case to a better-funded lawyer or simply tell Stack his end is practically impossible.
I don't think any of
those choices represent the real possibilities facing the real
lawyer.
And yet, the lawyer’s decision of whether or not to continue to pursue Stack’s case would not be mere cost prediction free of moral judgment. After all, while a successful lawyer for Holmes must be able to view the legal system as unconnected from ethics, it does not follow that his own behavior within the system is free from moral judgment. Accordingly, the lawyer would need to decide whether the client’s end was morally worthwhile based on his own personal principles (or those of the groups in which he participates or receives support). Stack’s lawyer would therefore find himself balancing the cost of further fighting with the moral significance of furthering justice in the tax system.
This is a false set of
conclusions from false premises. Stack's lawyer doesn't have to
balance fighting against furthering justice, he has to identify ways
to make compliance with the income tax law acceptable to Stack and to
put the Service behind getting its money in a way Stack can accept.
This is much more likely to be about finding win-win solutions than
about helping a man resist single-handedly the power of the
government.
If he chooses to turn Stack away, could he live with himself as he watches the consequences of his inaction unfold? After all, even the “baddest” of men would cringe watching Stack crash into the IRS building.
No, the bad man wouldn't
care about that at all, because he doesn't care about anybody but
himself. The person who feels bad about turning Stack away is the
actual professional, who isn't a bad man at
all. | >
> | To bring the discussion thus far full circle, then, when people refer to "multiple personality" disorder, they can be said to be referring to people who lack connections, or integration, between certain recurring roles. Pollock, for example, explains how people with "identity disturbances" experience their self as fragmented due to dissociation evidenced by discontinuities in things like memory. After all, it is not that these people "show more or less multiplicity than the general population, yet their dissociative symptoms are most severe." | | | | |

> | Prologue: After thinking about how to edit my first paper, I finally conceded that the paper contained one fundamental flaw (as well as many more superficial flaws, of course, but I digress). Specifically, I misinterpreted the scope of Holmes' "bad man," applying it to practitioners when Holmes himself limited it to "those who want to learn the law and nothing else." Because my whole essay was constructed around the hypothetical figure of the practitioner qua bad man, I believe it would be a futile mental exercise to try to salvage this essay. | | | | |
>
> | What I do plan to salvage with this "re-write," however, is the larger idea that I was trying to penetrate—that is, the question of what tools the creative practitioner can use in order to be successful in the face of adversity. Over the course of the semester, I picked up on two such tools: (1) foreseeing future legal trends and becoming an expert on their subject matter, and (2) mastering oneself and one’s interpersonal relations by understanding that humans have “multiple personalities.” Because I feel as though (1) was discussed more in-depth than (2) in class and on the wiki, I plan to investigate (2) more fully here. | | | The Bad Man's Moral Dilemma | | | actual professional, who isn't a bad man at

- I think knowing my original idea will help the feedback process, so here's what I was trying to tackle: When a lawyer has something he wants to accomplish, but he sees that this something goes against established norms within the legal system such that it will be very difficult (if not impossible?) in practice to accomplish, what are his options? Should he try to change the system, or are the norms so pervasive he should better focus on overturning it? But that sounds a bit extreme. Should he create new organizations? Where would he get the money? In class, I think Eben gave one answer: become an expert on something such that those who control the current system will need your expertise in the future. This would help secure the funding aspect. The lawyer chips away at the source of the power. -- KalliopeKefallinos - 21 Mar 2010

< | | | | | | | According to Holmes, the “bad man” is someone who “cares nothing for an ethical rule” but structures his behavior to “avoid [paying] money” or going to jail. It follows that the “bad man” is not necessarily “bad” but rather someone who acts independently of ethics, viewing the law as its practical consequences. The implication is not that ethics is useless—after all, Holmes admits that “the practice of [ethics], in spite of popular jests, tends to make good citizens and good men.” Rather, Holmes proposes that to be a “master of law,” a future lawyer must look at the law as its material consequences. | |
<
< | A successful lawyer, then, is a “bad man.” And in everyday practice, a successful lawyer views the legal system as a maze, predicting which paths he needs to take to ensure the attainment of his client’s particular end. | >
> | A successful lawyer, then, is a “bad man.”
This does not at all
follow. In the first place, Holmes said that "if you want to learn
the law, and nothing else you must look at it" as a bad man. I
pointed out at the time that these qualifications are extremely
important, and for some reason law student writing insists on
generalizing them both away, as you do here. Holmes said nothing
about practicing like a bad man, he said the opposite, as you notice.
In the second place, you blow straight through another limitation
here, by stating not even that a practitioner "looks at" law as a bad
man does, but that the practitioner is a bad man. For this
conclusion, there is no logical support
whatever.
And in everyday practice, a successful lawyer views the legal system as a maze, predicting which paths he needs to take to ensure the attainment of his client’s particular end.
So? | | | Even for a successful lawyer, it is possible that existing legal channels will not easily facilitate the attainment of a client's particular end | |
<
< | Usually, successful lawyers are able to use their predictive powers to know how a client’s case will turn out as soon as they hear the facts. For example, a woman wanting to get a divorce might have a 60 – 90% of success given the surrounding law and legal reality, as long as the lawyer gets together evidence Y and documents Z. The rate of success depends on which path the lawyer takes in the larger legal system—that is, which arguments he makes, which court he files in, which judge he presents in front of, etc. | >
> | Usually, successful lawyers are able to use their predictive powers to know how a client’s case will turn out as soon as they hear the facts.
No. Every successful
lawyer predicts "maybe" on the basis of the facts. The lawyer's
stock (and correct) answer to every question is "it depends."
For example, a woman wanting to get a divorce might have a 60 – 90% of success given the surrounding law and legal reality, as long as the lawyer gets together evidence Y and documents Z. The rate of success depends on which path the lawyer takes in the larger legal system—that is, which arguments he makes, which court he files in, which judge he presents in front of, etc.
A poorly chosen example.
In 49 out of the 50 states, New York being the exception, we have "no
fault" divorce, and any woman who wants a divorce (or any man, for
that matter) gets one. You would have been well advised to
check. | | |
Of course, being able to predict outcomes is not identical with being able to find a way to win every case. Some clients will have ends which the system does not facilitate easily, due to either some explicit law or some underlying legal reality. The obvious case is the former—for example, the man who wants to take a second wife has a negligible chance of success given laws which prohibit polygamy. | |
