Conclusion

Nussbaum’s Fragility invites us to consider how the ethical life of lawyers is fragile and vulnerable vis-à-vis luck, i.e., external and internal factors that are not under lawyers’ direct control. By using Fragility as central source of inspiration, I have aimed to show that one does not need to be an anti-theorist to take seriously the risks that come with theorising about the ethics of lawyers in a way that seeks to control and dismantle the phenomenology of lawyering and of those whose interests are at stake.

If philosophical legal ethics takes the phenomenology – and thus the vulnerable dimension – of the ethical life of lawyers more seriously, it may develop the conceptual resources that can foster their goodness. These resources are also conducive to lawyers responding responsibly to the moral costs that sometimes result from doing the right thing.
