Enforcing Courtesy: Default Judgments And The Civility Movement, Adam Owen Glist

Fordham Law Review

"We have much less of a sense of shared values than we used to have. There was a common understanding of how you acted. You zealously represented your client, but you had respect for the other side and treated them with dignity. Afterward, you'd all go out for a drink." Can we ever again achieve this level of professionalism? I hope so.

The Quiet Revolution In The American Law Proffesion: Remarks Before The Commission On Professionalism Of The American Bar Association, Peter Megargee Brown

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Speech discusses the decline of the law profession in its commitment to public service. It analyzes the reasons as to why the practice of law has evolved from a profession once thought to epitomize professionalism into one that does not seem much different from other businesses. It discusses the consequences of such a reality. The author suggests measures that the American Bar Association should employ to ameliorate the effects of this reality and outlines steps it should take to help restore the high level of professionalism to the industry.
