Ensuring Our Success In An Uncertain Future, Ramón A. Abadin Sep 2015

Ensuring Our Success In An Uncertain Future, Ramón A. Abadin

Professionalism Research Library

What separates lawyers from most other professions — and what will distinguish us and ensure our continuing success in an uncertain future — is professionalism. Professionalism covers the wide range of attributes that make a lawyer a lawyer. The Florida Bar offers members six pages of “expectations” for professionalism, as well as a “Creed of Professionalism.” County and state bar associations, as well as the ABA, have written codes of professionalism. Perhaps The Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Professionalism says it best: “Professionalism is the pursuit and practice of the highest ideals and tenets of the legal profession. It embraces …

Professionalism Expectations For The Electronic Age, Gary Blankenship

In recognition of that — and other stresses and strains of practicing law in a high-tech and instantcommunications world — the Bar’s Ideals and Goals of Professionalism have undergone a review and redrafting, emerging as a new document called Professionalism Expectations. The Board of Governors approved the new document at its January meeting. Professionalism Expectations has been sent to the conferences for circuit and …


The Military's Sexual Assault Blind Spot, Eric R. Carpenter Mar 2015

The Military's Sexual Assault Blind Spot, Eric R. Carpenter

Faculty Publications

The American military is in a well-publicized struggle to address its sexual assault problem. Critics say that those in the military who run the military justice system have a bias against the victims in these cases, where that bias is likely related to some form of sexism.

This article explores that problem and offers a social psychology explanation that supports the critics' position. This article explains the cognitive process that people use to solve these legal problems and then highlights a serious flaw in that process – the use of inaccurate rape schemas. This article focuses on two potential groups …
