Resumo: | This article proposes a new approach to the study of job satisfaction in the legal profession. Drawing on aBourdieusian understanding of the relationship between social class and dispositions, we argue that job satisfaction depends in part on social origins and the credentials related to these origins, with social hierarchies helping to define the expectations and possibilities that produce professional careers. Through this lens, job satisfaction is understood as a mechanism through which social and professional hierarchies are produced and reproduced. Relying on the first national data set on lawyer careers (including both surveydata and in-depth interviews), we find that lawyers’ social background, as reflected in the ranking of theirlaw school, decreases career satisfaction and increases the odds of a job search for the most successful new lawyers. When combined with the interview data, we find that social class is an important component of a stratification system that tends to lead individuals into hierarchically arranged positions. |

A partir de um quadro analítico Bourdiesiano de compreensão da relação entre classe social e inclinações, sustentamos que satisfação profissional depende em parte das origens sociais e das credenciais relacionadas à essas origens, cujas hierarquias sociais ajudam a definir as expectativas e possibilidades que produzem as carreiras profissionais. Através dessas lentes, satisfação profissional é compreendida como um mecanismo por meio do qual as hierarquias sociais e profissionais são produzidas e reproduzidas. Baseado no primeiro conjunto de dados sobre carreiras jurídicas (incluindo um survey e entrevistas em profundidade), notamos que a origem social dos bacharéis em direito, tal como foi refletida no ranking das suas faculdades de direito, diminui a satisfação na carreira e aumenta a probabilidade de busca de empregos para os bacharéis em direito melhor sucedidos. Quando combinado com os dados das entrevistas, percebemos que classe social é um componente importante de um sistema de estratificação que tende a levar os indivíduos para posições hierarquicamente organizadas.
