Title |
Moving Up or Moving Out: Social Capital and Migration in Lawyers' Lives
|
Abstract |
The author draws on a unique sample of Canadian lawyers and law school graduates who moved from Quebec to Ontario. He notes that this migration flow has been in recent years. and is embedded in the political and economic relationship between Quebec and English Canada. The author focuses on these respondents to explore the interplay between politics and the life course in the legal profession. The author points out that these respondents are in a unique situation for examination since their move straddles questions of community, social capital, and socio-political changes. The author pays particular attention to the migration experience of Jewish migrants, who comprised a large portion of this study's respondents; in so doing, he explores the positive role that social capital played in their migration experience, and contextualize their move within a broader paradigm of loyalty, voice. and exit.
