Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson

Cleveland State Law Review

The young attorney often may have time on his hands. He may be tempted to increase his following by advertising or by soliciting clients, but rules of the bar and statutes against solicitation prevent this. There are, of course, some forms of advertising open to all lawyers. National directories and law lists, such as the Martin dale-Hubbell Law Directory, theoretically published only for lawyers, not only advertise the attorney and his firm, but also list the names of any clients whom he wishes to give as representative of his practice and his specialties.


Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus Jan 1965

Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus

Cleveland State Law Review

This article is intended to consider the future of group retainers in light of the conflicting views of proponents and opponents. Attention will first be given to the "Canons of Professional Ethics" which affect this subject and the judicial decisions interpreting them. Next, an attempt will be made to evaluate the effect of the Supreme Court Brotherhood case, and other related decisions, upon the Canons. Finally, an effort will be made to anticipate the prospects of group legal service with a view towards implementing or modifying present standards.
