The Ethics Of Argument: Plato's Gorgias And The Modern Lawyer, James Boyd White
The Ethics Of Argument: Plato's Gorgias And The Modern Lawyer, James Boyd White
Articles
In what follows I shall analyze Plato's text and do my best to suggest a response to it. But I should say at the outset that for the modern lawyer and law teacher this is not merely an academic exercise, for we in fact are rhetoricians very much as Plato defines them. What is at stake for us in reading this dialogue is what it means to have devoted ourselves to the set of social and intellectual practices that define the profession of law. We have a special relation to this text, for we can in the full Platonic sense …
The Abolition Of The Forms Of Action In Virginia, W. Hamilton Bryson
The Abolition Of The Forms Of Action In Virginia, W. Hamilton Bryson
University of Richmond Law Review
The common law procedure for initiating actions at law in the English courts required a plaintiff to obtain a writ invoking the jurisdiction of the court and to file a declaration setting forth the facts that justified instigation of the suit and established the cause of the action. This clumsy and archaic system of litigation was abolished by a single chop of the legislative guillotine in New York in 1848. England followed suit in 1875, and the United States federal courts in 1938. Writs and declarations were replaced by simple forms which were copied from the practice of the equity …
Preface, Thomas L. Shaffer
Preface, Thomas L. Shaffer

Several years ago, when I lived in Indiana, I got a grant to write a book about lawyers. The newspaper ran a story about it; the paper said I was to study the morals of lawyers. A friend of mine sent me a clipping of the story with a note that said, "It won't take long." My friend held the common Hoosier view that lawyers have no morals. A frontier story tells of the Indiana lawyer who died and whose body was laid out in a room and left for the night. When morning came, there was nothing left in …

Why Lawyers Should Be Allowed To Advertise: A Market Analysis Of Legal Services , Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr., Russell G. Pearce, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Faculty Scholarship
Last August, the American Bar Association adopted the Model Rules of Professional Conduct which significantly altered the ABA' position on lawyer advertising. It is still unclear how the states will respond to the ABA's new position, and the debate about the propriety of lawyer advertising continue. In the authors' view, both sides of the debate have overlooked an important point: For purposes of analyzing the advertising problem, legal services are of two types, and the effect of advertising on the legal services market will vary with the type of service involved."Individualized" services involve legal matters that pose a significant risk …
The Legal Ethics Of The Two Kingdoms, Thomas L. Shaffer
The Legal Ethics Of The Two Kingdoms, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
The question I propose to address while I am with you is this: Is there a special morality for professional life? In terms of convention and argot, the answer to that question would appear to be: Yes, there is a separate morality for the professional lives of lawyers and judges. We do not follow the same morals in public and professional life as we follow in personal life.

Defending The Guilty, Barbara Allen Babcock
Defending The Guilty, Barbara Allen Babcock
Cleveland State Law Review
How can you defend a person you know is guilty? I have answered that question hundreds of times, never to my inquirer's satisfaction, and therefore never to my own. In recent years, I have more or less given up, abandoning the high-flown explanations of my youth, and resorting to a rather peevish: "Well, it's not for everybody. Criminal defense work takes a peculiar mind-set, heart-set, soul-set." While I still believe this, the mind-set might at least be more accessible through a better effort at explanation. First we will examine the nature of the question, then the possible answers. We must …
Review Of The New Deal Lawyers, By Peter H. Irons, William Michael Treanor
Review Of The New Deal Lawyers, By Peter H. Irons, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This article reviews The New Deal Lawyers by Peter H. Irons (1982).
The government lawyers who helped shape and defend New Deal agencies have received little attention from scholars. Any oversight has now, however, been redressed. The New Deal Lawyers provides a detailed and careful study of the litigation process that preceded the New Deal's 1937 court triumphs. Peter Irons' book focuses on the activities of three key agencies and their general counsels: the National Recovery Administration (NRA) and Donald Richberg; the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) and Jerome Frank; and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Charles Fahy. Each …
The Attorney-Client Privilege And The Corporate Client: Where Do We Go After Upjohn?, Michigan Law Review
The Attorney-Client Privilege And The Corporate Client: Where Do We Go After Upjohn?, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Part I of this Note examines two of the more popular standards, the Seventh Circuit's "subject matter test" and the Eighth Circuit's "modified subject matter test" and concludes that neither approach is entirely consistent with the purposes of the privilege. Part II argues that the courts should adopt the Eighth Circuit's test with two further modifications. One revision is but a demand for clarification and consistency: the courts should explicitly adopt Dean Wigmore's legal advice requirement for corporate clients. The other modification is more radical: the command requirement should be eliminated. Under this approach, every employee may stand in the …

Litigation Abuse And The Law Schools, John W. Reed
Litigation Abuse And The Law Schools, John W. Reed
Articles
At the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference in July, 1983, one session was devoted to a discussion of "Excessive Discovery: A Symptom of Litigation Abuse." (Without knowing, I would guess that a similar title appeared on just about every judicial conference program this year-and last year, and the one before that.) Frank Rothman, President of MGM/United Artists, addressed the subject from the point of view of a corporate client, and his remarks are printed in this issue, beginning at page 342. Judges and trial lawyers expressed their views. And I was asked to comment on the extent to which the law …
The Invisible Discourse Of The Law: Reflections On Legal Literacy And General Education, James Boyd White
The Invisible Discourse Of The Law: Reflections On Legal Literacy And General Education, James Boyd White
Articles
My subject today is "legal literacy," but to put it that way requires immediate clarification, for that phrase has a wide range of possible meanings with many of which we shall have nothing to do. At one end of its spectrum of significance, for example, "legal literacy" means full competence in legal discourse, both as reader and as writer. This kind of literacy is the object of a professional education, and it requires not only a period of formal schooling but years of practice as well. Indeed, as is also the case with other real languages, the ideal of perfect …
