Law And Enchantment: The Place Of Belief, Joseph Vining Dec 1987

Law And Enchantment: The Place Of Belief, Joseph Vining

Articles

The question I wish to raise is whether one must believe what one says when one makes a statement of law. The language of belief that we know, and from which moral discourse and the moral never stray far: do judges, lawyers, law participate in it? Any such question is but an aspect of a larger question, indeed issue, of what we may call the objectivity of legal language. It is raised perhaps most acutely by the broad claims now being made for artificial intelligence and in particular for the computer programming of legal advice (as a species of what …


Safeguarding The Litigant's Constitutional Right To A Fair And Impartial Forum: A Due Process Approach To Improprieties Arising From Judicial Campaign Contributions From Lawyers, Mark Andrew Grannis Nov 1987

Safeguarding The Litigant's Constitutional Right To A Fair And Impartial Forum: A Due Process Approach To Improprieties Arising From Judicial Campaign Contributions From Lawyers, Mark Andrew Grannis

Michigan Law Review

This Note will argue that the improprieties arising from some campaign contributions are so egregious that they offend the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. Consequently, states must either reform judicial campaigns to eliminate such improprieties, or, through mandatory judicial recusal or disqualification, respect the absolute constitutional right to an impartial forum. Part I of this Note will examine the history of disqualification at common law and in American practice, focusing on the extent to which it has been held to be a requirement of due process. Part II will argue that under the applicable due process standards, a …


The State Of Legal Writing: Res Ipsa Loquitur, George D. Gopen Nov 1987

The State Of Legal Writing: Res Ipsa Loquitur, George D. Gopen

Michigan Law Review

There is a glory, it seems, in the mystery of a language that can be deciphered only by initiates of the secret society; there is a great sense of power and an even greater actuality of power in controlling a language that in turn controls the most pressing affairs of individuals and communities; and there is a monopolistic safety in being able to manipulate a language which because it was part of the creation of legal problems must be part of their solutions as well. It was true in 1921, and it is still true sixty-six years later. This essay …


Note: United States V. Harvey: Are Criminal Defense Fees More Vulnerable Than Necessary?, Eric Easton Oct 1987

Note: United States V. Harvey: Are Criminal Defense Fees More Vulnerable Than Necessary?, Eric Easton

All Faculty Scholarship

In United States v. Harvey, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that Congress may not constitutionally require convicted racketeers and drug traffickers to forfeit property used to pay legitimate defense attorney fees. To the extent that such forfeitures and related pre-conviction restraints on transfer are authorized by provisions of the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984 (the Act), those provisions violate an accused's right to counsel of choice as secured by the Sixth Amendment.This article argues that the court's holding in Harvey was more narrowly drawn than necessary, and that as a consequence criminal defense attorney …

Crest Street Community Council, Inc., 107 S. Ct. 336 (1986), Richard Gans Oct 1987

The Supreme Court's Interpretation Of Section 1988 And Awards Of Attorney's Fees For Work Performed In Administrative Proceedings: A Proposal For A Result-Oriented Approach—North Carolina Department Of Transportation V. Crest Street Community Council, Inc., 107 S. Ct. 336 (1986), Richard Gans

Washington Law Review

In 1976, Congress enacted the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act, amending 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Section 1988 authorizes courts to award attorney's fees to claimants who prevail in actions or proceedings to enforce civil rights under any of the laws enumerated in the Section. In North Carolina Department of Transportation v. Crest Street Community Council, Inc., the United States Supreme Court for the first time addressed the issue of whether a party may seek attorney's fees in a court action apart from the action or proceeding in which the party seeks to enforce civil rights. Justice O'Connor, writing for …


Federal Courts And Attorney Disqualification Motions: A Realistic Approach To Conflicts Of Interest, Linda Ann Winslow Oct 1987

Federal Courts And Attorney Disqualification Motions: A Realistic Approach To Conflicts Of Interest, Linda Ann Winslow

Washington Law Review

The motion to disqualify an adversary's attorney has become the newest weapon in a litigator's motion arsenal. Disqualification motions alleging conflicts of interest can result in a great advantage to the movant by denying the opposition their choice of counsel, or by delaying the proceedings for several weeks or months. The attractiveness of the attorney disqualification motion as a strategic weapon is enhanced by the failure of the courts to impose sanctions against attorneys who bring frivolous disqualification motions. This Comment examines the treatment in federal courts of motions made to disqualify an adversary attorney and the relevant rules of …
