Professional Responsibility: 1996 Survey Of Florida Law, Timothy P. Chinaris Oct 1996

Professional Responsibility: 1996 Survey Of Florida Law, Timothy P. Chinaris

Law Faculty Scholarship

The prudent practitioner will note a number of changes, some of them quite substantial, to Florida's professional responsibility landscape in 1996. Courts and ethics committees rendered decisions affecting obligations that Florida lawyers assume as they interact with prospective clients, clients, judges, other lawyers, nonlawyer assistants, third parties, and disciplinary authorities. This article examines significant cases and ethics opinions in the context of the different roles which lawyers assume during the course of their relationships with these individuals and entities. Part II explores the traditional role of the lawyer as a zealous advocate for the client. This section reviews developments of …

Beyond Admissions: Racial Equality In Law Schools, Sharon E. Rush

UF Law Faculty Publications

Beginning with a discussion of the United States Supreme Court’s decision in McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, this article discusses the meaning of “integration.” In McLaurin, the University of Oklahoma was forced to abandon its segregation policy and not separate black students from their white classmates in all settings (not just the classroom). The McLaurin decision raised the fundamental questions: "What is integration?" and "How is integration related to racial equality?" Significantly, the McLaurin Court clarifies that equality is premised on integration and that integration means more than just having a presence in an institution. …

The Tintinnabulation Of Bell's Letters, Kenneth Lasson Oct 1996

The Tintinnabulation Of Bell's Letters, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

It is easy to admire Derrick Bell for the passion of his principles, and to empathize with the pain he feels for his people. Those same emotions, however, are so often conveyed with such rhetorical acrimony that his considerable merits as a role model - as well as his standing as an impartial scholar engaged in objective and well-reasoned analysis - have come to be substantially diminished. Nevertheless Bell's letters have a disturbing resonance, a tintinnabulation that gives many people of good will second thoughts about the quest for equality in America.

Professor Bell certainly has a right to his …

Pronouns can be efficient writing tools: they save space and provide variation. Without them, we would repeat the original noun continually each time we referenced it.

Pronoun References: Part I-When No Substitute Will Do, K.K. Duvivier Jul 1996

Pronoun References: Part I-When No Substitute Will Do, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

In our writing we know who is who and what is what, but we often fail to let our readers know. Readers follow easily if we give them specific information. A pronoun can be a good substitute for specific information, but to avoid confusion, a pronoun must clearly refer back to its antecedent-the word or words for which it substitutes.

Grammar And Style Check Programs: Machine V. Man, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Garry Kasparov fought for all of us. A human being against Deep Blue, a computer that has thirty-two processors acting as thirty-two brains simultaneously to consider future chess moves. When the computer won the first game, it was an apocalypse for chess enthusiasts. Was an artificial brain actually superior? A similar question arises in writing: do computerized grammar and style checkers create superior writing?

The Dash-“A Hasty Stroke Of The Pen”, K.K. Duvivier Mar 1996

The Dash-“A Hasty Stroke Of The Pen”, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The dash is one of the most versatile punctuation marks. However, its very versatility makes it a mark to use with care. First, the dash should be distinguished from the hyphen. Al- though these two punctuation marks look similar, they differ both in form and function. In form, the dash is more elongated and does not appear as a separate symbol on most keyboards.
