If you are looking to do additional research to expand this article you may want to check out Alfredo Mirandé's 2011 book Rascuache Lawyer: Toward a Theory of Ordinary Litigation. On page 6 you will find: "Gerald (“Jerry”) Pablo López is undoubtedly the most notable scholar writing about community law practice. In his book Rebellious Lawyering as well as in dozens of law-review articles and countless speeches he has authored and given, López has sought to articulate an alternative vision of progressive law work that challenges the traditional “regnant” conception of law and law practice and seeks to develop a theory of practice grounded in the everyday experiences and worldviews of subordinated groups." —Noah06:32, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know at first glance it seems like I've linked to a different concept by wiki-linking client-centered, which re-directs to Person-centered therapy. Please don't unlink it just yet. I remember reading about these theories of law practice in a textbook for a class I took last semester; and I think I remember reading that the use of the client-centered approach in law is drawn from its use in psychology. Given Lopez' desire to integrate various academic fields in the practice of law, it wouldn't surprise me if he was drawing on those influences in Rebellious Lawyering; I just need to find sources that draw that connection and then spell it out in the text. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving17:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
