This text presents an innovative method for studying the work of professionals with clients that was applied to an evaluation study of legislation and of lawyers working with clients seeking a divorce. With the simulated client methods, the researcher plays the role of simulated or hypothetical clients with predetermined characteristics who are consulting a lawyer's office and the lawyer conducts business as usual.

The book should be useful to those conducting comparisons across professionals and other elite groups working with clients as well as those interested in the socio-legal study of legal professionals.
