“决议运动”--一种由律师指导的、完全以法律的术语表达并以法律的目标为导向的民众政治动员--是民众对当代美国反恐政策的抵制的重要表现。本文使用的决议运动作为一个车辆的批判性评估的原因律师文学和重新概念化的原因律师。本文讨论了两种不同的方法来处理律师的政治含义。第一种方法借鉴了“事业律师”的文学，最初出现作为一个完美的背景下分析运动。然而，详细的研究表明，这种方法是基于法律和政治之间的强烈二分法，这阻碍了分析。为了克服由此产生的aporia，一个“战略关系”的方法，它认为法律和政治的社会关系和实践，提出了作为一种替代。这使得一个更细致入微的法律政治关系的讨论，有利于运动的分析，并导致一套能够使事业律师的研究，超越其概念僵化的建议。
The ‘resolutions movement’ – a popular political mobilisation guided by lawyers, and expressed in exclusively legal terms and orientated towards legal objectives – has been an important expression of popular resistance to contemporary US counterterrorism policy. This article uses the resolutions movement as a vehicle for critically evaluating the cause lawyer literature and for reconceptualising ‘cause lawyers’. The article discusses two different approaches to the political implications of lawyering. The first approach draws on the ‘cause-lawyering’ literature that appears initially as a perfect context for analysing the movement. However, detailed examination shows this approach to be premised on a strong dichotomy between law and politics, something that impedes analysis. To overcome the resulting aporia, a ‘strategic-relational’ approach, which sees both law and politics as social relations and practices, is proposed as an alternative. This allows a more nuanced discussion of the law–politics relation that facilitates analysis of the movement and leads to a set of proposals capable of enabling cause-lawyering studies to transcend its conceptual rigidity.
