Attorney And Client - Unauthorized Practice Of Law, Herman J. Bloom
Attorney And Client - Unauthorized Practice Of Law, Herman J. Bloom
Michigan Law Review
A corporation sold "memberships" to the members of a fraternal order under a contract entitling the members, among other things, to the benefit of the corporation's "legal defense" in any proceeding arising out of the ownership or operation of automobiles--civil or criminal. This legal service was described in a magazine issued by the corporation, which contained a list of recommended attorneys. The members could employ their own attorneys, but were urged to employ those on the list. The corporation took no part in the management of the case and it had no salaried attorney.

In re Tracy, (Minn. 1936) 266 N. W. 88.

This plan was significant in at least three important respects. In the first place, it defined an ambitious and, in some respects, a unique task for the Institute to accomplish; the report …
Attorney And Client-Forfeiture Of Right To Fee For Failure Of Attorney To Register Under Integrated Bar Act
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, an attorney, sued for reasonable value of professional services rendered to defendant. The Washington integrated bar act requires all attorneys to register annually at certain date and to pay a registration fee. Those who fail to comply are deemed to be under suspension until the provisions are complied with. At the time these services were performed plaintiff was in default. Held, this requisite is a condition imposed for the privilege of exercising a lawyer's franchise. Failure to comply forfeits plaintiff's right to compensation for professional services undertaken during the period of default. Smith v. Kneisley, (Wash. 1935) …
