Abstract
The five articles on "Dealing with Difference" in the Fall, 1997 issue of the Review make insightful and thought-provoking contributions on this crucial issue. The authors' insights, however, naturally raise fresh questions, and I would like to pose one of these: what is the role of "objectivity" in lawyering that is sensitive to difference? I don't want to defend the model of the lawyer as all-knowing-expert- without-a-point-of-view; we aren't all-knowing and we have plenty of points of view that need examination and re-examination, as these articles demonstrate. We certainly need to challenge our own assumptions, and to listen, and listen sensitively, to our clients' perspectives.
