Navigating Legal Ethics And Law School Curricula: Attempting To Find Technology Competency Without A Compass, Jessica De Perio Wittman, Kathleen (Katie) Brown
Faculty Articles and Papers
Comment 8 of Model Rule 1.1 of the Professional Rules of Conduct requires attorneys to be ethically accountable for technology competence. However, the drafting of the language of Rule 1.1 is vague. As a result, attorneys, law firms, and law schools apply Rule 1.1 differently and emphasize topics they deem most important. Per American Bar Association (ABA) Standard 301, law schools must maintain a rigorous program of legal education that prepares their students for effective, ethical, and responsible participation as members of the legal profession. Law schools have summarily responded to Rule 1.1 and Standard 301 by adding and offering …
Self-Knowledge For Lawyers: What It Is And Why It Matters, Thomas Morawetz
Self-Knowledge For Lawyers: What It Is And Why It Matters, Thomas Morawetz
Faculty Articles and Papers
Anyone who has taught in law schools for three decades or more has witnessed a paradigm shift in legal education. From the 1960s through the 1980s, it was common to ask how law school differs from the kind of practical training that might be acquired in, say, apprenticeship to a practitioner. A frequent answer was to compare law schools with graduate schools in arts and sciences and to argue that the law students were taught similar skills of reasoning, normative evaluation, cultural contextualization, and self-examination. For the most part it was taken for granted that academic scholars aspired to these …

The Other Side Of The Picket Line: Contract, Democracy, And Power In A Law School Classroom, Michael Fischl
Faculty Articles and Papers
his essay - from a forthcoming symposium on teaching from the left in the NYU Review of Law & Social Change - offers an account of the successful union organizing campaign among custodial and landscaping workers at the University of Miami during the 2005-06 academic year, focusing in particular on the role played by faculty during the course of the campaign. It examines a fractious debate generated by faculty who held classes off campus in order to support the striking workers and the author's own decision to put the question of whether to honor the picket line to a vote …
It's Not About The Fox: The Untold History Of Pierson V. Post, Bethany Berger
It's Not About The Fox: The Untold History Of Pierson V. Post, Bethany Berger
Faculty Articles and Papers
For generations, Pierson v. Post, the famous fox case, has introduced students to the study of property law. Two hundred years after the case was decided, this Article examines the history of the case to show both how it fits into the American ideology of property, and how the facts behind the dispute challenge that ideology. Pierson is a canonical case because it replicates a central myth of American property law, that we start with a world in which no one has rights to anything and the fundamental problem is how best to convert it to absolute individual ownership. The …

Preliminary Reflections On The Professional Development Of Solo And Small Law Firm Practitioners, Leslie Levin
Preliminary Reflections On The Professional Development Of Solo And Small Law Firm Practitioners, Leslie Levin
Faculty Articles and Papers
Solo and small law firm practitioners have long been regarded as marginal, unmentored, unethical and inadequately trained members of the legal profession. Yet technological advances and demographic changes in this segment of the bar suggest reasons for re-examining this view. In an effort to gain a clearer understanding of the current state of the professional development of these lawyers, 41 solo and small firm practitioners in the New York City metropolitan area were interviewed about their work lives and professional development. The questions posed were designed to explore how, if at all, office settings, mentors and other colleagues contribute to …
