Michael Kaye
Professor of Law

Photograph: Michael Kaye."The lawyer's role is to make the best argument. If the client loses at the trial level, the process continues until it reaches the highest court. This is where change in the law is made. The study of law is the study of an amazingly powerful profession. In my opinion, lawyers are the agents of change."
