Note On The Measurement Of Governmental Continuity With Its Implications For The Legal Profession, Curtis A. Amlund Dec 1985

Note On The Measurement Of Governmental Continuity With Its Implications For The Legal Profession, Curtis A. Amlund

Dalhousie Law Journal

Because legal practice requires attorneys to apply themselves to the specifics of individual cases, it may be useful to generalize to an idea framework whose object is to measure the level of continuity existing in the legal system within which lawyers function. The relevance is that owing to the nature of the practitioner's work it is necessary that within the governing structure of a country there be present a reasonable level of governmental continuity. The latter is germane to the practice of law, for attorneys can work with adversarial proceedings and cases at suit only if there is certainty about …

Limited Liability For Limited Partners: An Argument For The Abolition Of The Control Rule, Joseph J. Basile, Jr. Oct 1985

Limited Liability For Limited Partners: An Argument For The Abolition Of The Control Rule, Joseph J. Basile, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

One of the important features of the limited partnership' that makes investment in this form of business organization attractive is the general immunity afforded to limited partners from liability for the obligations of the partnership. This immunity, however,can be forfeited. Under both the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (ULPA) and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (RULPA), a limited partner becomes liable for the obligations of the partnership if, in addition to the exercise of the rights and powers of a limited partner, the limited partner "takes part in the control of the business.''

Not surprisingly, when sophisticated investors are offered …

Washington Lawyers Under The Purview Of The State Consumer Protection Act—The "Entrepreneurial Aspects" Solution—Short V. Demopolis, 103 Wn. 2d 52, 691 P.2d 163 (1984), Jeffrey M. Koontz Sep 1985

Washington Lawyers Under The Purview Of The State Consumer Protection Act—The "Entrepreneurial Aspects" Solution—Short V. Demopolis, 103 Wn. 2d 52, 691 P.2d 163 (1984), Jeffrey M. Koontz

Washington Law Review

In Short v. Demopolis the Washington Supreme Court held that certain "entrepreneurial aspects" of the practice of law constitute "trade or commerce" for purposes of RCW 19.86, Washington's consumer protection and antitrust law. This holding brings members of the legal community under antitrust and consumer protection scrutiny as embodied in the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). The Demopolis decision, however, only applies to the "entrepreneurial aspects" of the practice of law. Although many courts and commentators have struggled with the question of whether professionals should be given preferential treatment, the Washington court is the first to specifically exclude legal malpractice from …

Practice Of Law: Real Estate Brokers Authorized To Complete Transaction Forms—Cultum V. Heritage House Realtors, Inc., 103 Wn. 2d 623, 694 P.2d 630 (1985), Mark Reeve Jun 1985

Practice Of Law: Real Estate Brokers Authorized To Complete Transaction Forms—Cultum V. Heritage House Realtors, Inc., 103 Wn. 2d 623, 694 P.2d 630 (1985), Mark Reeve

Washington Law Review

In Cultum v. Heritage House Realtors, Inc., the Washington Supreme Court carved out a limited exception to the statutory prohibition against the unauthorized practice of law. This new exception represents a proper balancing of the interests of real estate brokers, lawyers and the public. However, flaws in the majority's reasoning may lead to confusion in the future application of the ruling unless greater attention is paid to the underlying rationale of the decision and the arguments made by the concurrence.

Forcing Attorneys To Represent Indigent Civil Litigants: The Problems And Some Proposals, Greg Stevens Apr 1985

Forcing Attorneys To Represent Indigent Civil Litigants: The Problems And Some Proposals, Greg Stevens

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note argues that uncompensated court appointments represent an unsatisfactory means to provide counsel for indigents. Part I discusses the policy arguments for and against forced, uncompensated court appointments. Part I concludes that the arguments against these appointments outweigh the arguments in favor of them. Part II argues that they violate the Constitution's prohibitions against uncompensated takings and involuntary servitude. Part III offers a proposal that would provide effective representation for indigent civil litigants, while avoiding infringement of attorneys' constitutional rights.

Implementing The Incentive Purpose Of The Private Attorney General Exception—Miotke V. City Of Spokane, 101 Wn. 2d 307, 678 P.2d 803 (1984), Jim Oesterle Apr 1985

Implementing The Incentive Purpose Of The Private Attorney General Exception—Miotke V. City Of Spokane, 101 Wn. 2d 307, 678 P.2d 803 (1984), Jim Oesterle

Washington Law Review

This Note proposes both selective criteria and a procedure designed to implement the unique purpose of the private attorney general exception. The Note first describes the development of the private attorney general exception in both federal and state courts, and then traces the development of equitable exceptions in Washington. The analysis begins by identifying and comparing the purposes of the private attorney general, common fund, and substantial benefit exceptions, and critiques the ability of the Miotke standard to implement the purpose of the private attorney general exception. The analysis then proposes more discriminating criteria and a procedural approach that effectively …
