Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger Jan 1969

Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger

Cleveland State Law Review

United Mine Workers of America, District 12 v. Illinois State Bar Association, is one of the latest in a line of holdings which have demonstrated that areas heretofore considered by the Bar as sacrosanct unto itself or the state courts are not immune from re-evaluation. That decision, rendered on December 5, 1967, was not unexpected in the light of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in NAACP v. Button, and Railroad Trainmen v. Virginia Bar Association, and the process is likely to continue.


The Pompous Professions, Howard L. Oleck Jan 1969

The Pompous Professions, Howard L. Oleck

Cleveland State Law Review

Pomposity seems to be a characteristic of many practitioners of the learned professions. Many lawyers, for their self-estimate, are sure that they are the paladins of justice, and also often are vain of their intellectual prowess beyond all reasonable limits of objective evaluation. But for sheer breath-taking pomposity, few things can equal the lofty self-esteem of many law school teachers and administrators.


Emily Post Goes To Court, Vincent S. Dalsimer Jan 1969

Emily Post Goes To Court, Vincent S. Dalsimer

Cleveland State Law Review

After a few years of observing attorneys from the other side, rather than the other end, of the counsel table, I have concluded that courtroom etiquette is the most rapidly declining of all of the social or professional graces. Perhaps this is because the fine points of the art are essentially trivia. Perhaps, on the other hand, the laudable modern trend away from the rigidity of procedure and the pre-trial sanctity of the opposing side's theory of the lawsuit has been carried to the point of dropping the facade of courtesy along with the penetration of the shield of the …

Labor Union Group Legal Service For Members, Eugene Green

Cleveland State Law Review

The right of associations to provide their members with legal services appears to be as broad as the freedom of assembly and discussion protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. These freedoms "are not confined to any field of human interest" and are of the same dimension in matters of local or national interest.


Trade Association Offering Legal Services - A Possibility For Small Corporations, Robert R. Hussey Jan 1969

Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell Jan 1969

Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell

Cleveland State Law Review

If group legal services are to pervade the field of patent law, and in view of the UMW case and the activities of the unregistered patent practitioners, that I suspect is imminent, the most stringent safeguards should be specifically set forth, including the following: specific approvaland regulation by the Patent Office of the group, its modus operandi,and the patent practitioners participation; and stringent restrictions by the Patent Office of the groups' advertising and promotional activities, both written and outside the group. The Patent Office now has statutory authority to regulate registered practitioners, and some regulation could be accomplished in this …


Lawyers And Legislatures, John C. Mcdonald, James S. Turner Jan 1969

Lawyers And Legislatures, John C. Mcdonald, James S. Turner

Cleveland State Law Review

Throughout its history, this nation and this state have had to depend in large part on the ability of its lawyers for effective legislative action. At a time when the State legislature is dealing with billions of dollars and millions of lives, it is even more crucial that the organized bar involve itself intimately in the daily legislative activities of Ohio. Lawyers working through the legislature have an important part to play in improving the lives of Ohioans.
