Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus
Cleveland State Law Review

Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz
Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz
Cleveland State Law Review
The deposition plays an important role in the modern-day practice of law. The enormous backlog of cases in the courts requires preservation of precious testimony during the long wait prior to trial. In addition, the deposition is a valuable tool in evaluating a case, especially during settlement negotiations. Finally, the deposition is a prime means of discovering vital information. The notary public presides at the deposition, and is invested with quasi-judicial powers, including the power to punish for contempt. This paper will briefly survey both the procedural aspects of the deposition and the quasi-judicial power of the notary public.

Split Loyalty: An Ethical Problem For The Criminal Defense Lawyer, Gerald S. Gold
Cleveland State Law Review

The lawyer defending an accused owes a duty to his client, a duty to society, and a duty to the court. The duties to each are not completely clear and when the various loyalties conflict, fair, safe, and moral resolutions are most difficult.
