On Lawyers And Moral Discernment, Robert E. Rodes Nov 2013

On Lawyers And Moral Discernment, Robert E. Rodes

Robert Rodes

Drawing on Jacques Maritain's doctrine of Knowledge through Connaturality, and on other authors including David Hume and Edmond Cahn, this article argues that judgments of right and wrong are arrived at primarily through immediate discernment, and only secondarily through the application of general principles. It is possible, therefore, for lawyers and clients to arrive at agreement on how to handle their cases, even though they do not agree on the general principles that apply.

The Transformative Potential Of Attorney Bilingualism, Jayesh Rathod Jan 2013

The Transformative Potential Of Attorney Bilingualism, Jayesh Rathod

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

In contemporary U.S. law practice, attorney bilingualism is increasingly valued, primarily because it allows lawyers to work more efficiently and to pursue a broader range of professional opportunities.
