Nuclear Weapons, Lethal Injection, And American Catholics: Faith Confronting American Civil Religion, Thomas L. Shaffer
Nuclear Weapons, Lethal Injection, And American Catholics: Faith Confronting American Civil Religion, Thomas L. Shaffer
Thomas L. Shaffer
But, still, honor is important among us. "He was an honorable man" is still a moving thing to say, at a (man's) funeral. The notion, and the liturgy that invokes the notion, show us believers that civil religion has a hold on us, and that we need a place where we can sit down together and think things out.2 6 This argument of mine needs to get beneath simple contrasts between biblical faith and civil religion. We believers need to reason together, plopped down as we are in the middle of the present. We believers include naval officers and lawyers …
The Legal Profession's Rule Against Vouching For Clients: Advocacy And The Manner That Is The Man Himself, Thomas L. Shaffer
The Legal Profession's Rule Against Vouching For Clients: Advocacy And The Manner That Is The Man Himself, Thomas L. Shaffer
Thomas L. Shaffer
Modem American lawyers impose on one another regulatory rules that speak to the old argument but have not resolved it. One of these requires lawyers to advocate the interests of their clients with zeal; another forbids them from arguing that they believe what they say, or in the merit of what they are asking the government to do. The latter of these is a rule against vouching for clients. Rules that require zeal and forbid vouching seek to prevent both advertent deceit and an "unprofessional" limitation of advocacy to causes lawyers believe in. My claim is that these rules are …
Lawyers And Biblical Prophets, Thomas L. Shaffer
Lawyers And Biblical Prophets, Thomas L. Shaffer
Thomas L. Shaffer
This is part of a broader exploration of the suggestion that the biblical prophets-Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Nathan, and the others-are sources of ethical reflection and moral example for modern American lawyers. The suggestion appears to be unusual; I am not sure why. The Prophets were, more than anything else, lawyers-as their successors, the Rabbis of the Talmud, were. They were neither teachers nor bureaucrats, not elected officials or priests or preachers. And the comparison is not an ancient curiosity: Much of what admirable lawyer-heroes have done in modern America has been prophetic in the biblical sense-that is, what they …
Aging America, Thomas L. Shaffer
Aging America, Thomas L. Shaffer
Thomas L. Shaffer
Professor Sarah Harper's assessment of the legal, political,
medical, and economic issues associated with old age in the
United States heralded the theme for this Symposium, "Aging
America." Her analysis turns, as she puts it, on "a fundamental
shift in the demographic structure of society. No longer will it be
the norm to have large numbers of young and small numbers of
old,"1 as it was when I was a boy (age 11 on V.J. Day, 1945).
"Rather, we are entering a world where age groups will be distributed
more or less equally across society-an age-symmetric society."
2 Soon, America …

Business Lawyers, Baseball Players, And The Hebrew Prophets, Thomas L. Shaffer
Business Lawyers, Baseball Players, And The Hebrew Prophets, Thomas L. Shaffer
Thomas L. Shaffer
This article is a reflection on the ethics of practiving law for business, building on the career of Scott Boras, who acts as agent and lawyer for professional baseball players. The reflection wonders at the clout corporate lawyers have over their clients, mentioning, of course, some personal experiences (back before the invention of moveable type) from the author's two years in a large business-oriented law firm, as well as on Mr. Boras's significant influence in the baseball world. The object, finally, is ethical reflection on such things as the particular a lawyer has when she in in house rather than …
