Federal Court Special Masters: A Vital Resource In The Era Of Complex Litigation, Mark A. Fellows, Roger S. Haydock
Federal Court Special Masters: A Vital Resource In The Era Of Complex Litigation, Mark A. Fellows, Roger S. Haydock
William Mitchell Law Review
This article is dedicated to all those who have served as special masters in federal court. After serving as a judicial master, it is easy to believe in the importance of the role in our grand system of justice. After reading this article, we hope it will be clear how vital masters are to everyone receiving fair, just, and expedient civil justice.
Special Masters In State Court Complex Litigation: An Available And Underused Case Management Tool, Lynn Jokela, David F. Herr
Special Masters In State Court Complex Litigation: An Available And Underused Case Management Tool, Lynn Jokela, David F. Herr
William Mitchell Law Review
This article examines the role masters have played in litigation and explores the benefits that might be obtained from the greater use of masters in the future. The FJC survey of federal judges appointing special masters concluded that special masters were “extremely or very effective.” The FJC study is an empirical survey of the effectiveness of special masters, and it includes commentary from judges regarding their experience after appointing special masters. These benefits include better, faster, and fairer resolution of litigation in the cases in which masters are used, as well as an easing of the burdens these cases place …

A historic gathering of special masters occurred on October 15th and 16th, 2004 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Federal and state court-appointed masters from around the country met for the first time to share their experiences as special masters and to form a national association of court appointed masters. This issue of the William Mitchell Law Review contains articles presented at the conference and the transcript of faculty presentations. Throughout the transcript of faculty presentations, the word “speaker” denotes a conference attendee.

The William Mitchell Law Review has decided once again to dedicate one issue of this annual volume to Recent Decisions of the Minnesota Supreme Court. This issue reviews some of the court’s more important decisions from the 2003-04 term. If tradition is honored, the articles and notes you find in these pages will be thorough, well-written, and thoughtful in their analysis of each decision. This annual review is a tradition that gives our legal community a wonderful opportunity to publicly comment on the work of the court. This public testing of the court’s work is a healthy part of the …

Legal Scholarship For Equal Justice: Summary Of Panel Discussion, Sam Magavern
Legal Scholarship For Equal Justice: Summary Of Panel Discussion, Sam Magavern
William Mitchell Law Review
In 2002, a group of professors, deans, equal justice practitioners, and a Minnesota Supreme Court justice formed a Legal Scholarship for Equal Justice committee (LSEJ) to explore ways to link the work of professors and students to the equal justice issues faced by the bench and bar in our state. Since then, LSEJ has become a formal project of the Minnesota Justice Foundation, a nonprofit group that works at the four Minnesota law schools to integrate public service into the law school experience. So far, LSEJ has created an issues list, a class, and an annual symposium. The issues list …
Towards A New Scholarship For Equal Justice, James S. Liebman
Towards A New Scholarship For Equal Justice, James S. Liebman
William Mitchell Law Review
Over the last thirty years, the legal academy has turned a cold shoulder to the subject matter of this symposium: scholarship for equal justice. I am here to suggest that a thaw may be on the way. By scholarship for equal justice--as distinguished from scholarship about that topic--I mean academic work undertaken for the purpose of improving outcomes for individuals and members of groups who have been systematically held back by their race, sex, poverty, or any other basis for rationing success that our legal system treats with suspicion. With reference to some of my own work and that of …
Clinical Reflections: Looking Ahead Toward The Past, Roger S. Haydock
Clinical Reflections: Looking Ahead Toward The Past, Roger S. Haydock
William Mitchell Law Review
What were we planning? What were we thinking? What were we daring to do? Oh, so many questions and answers for everything, or so we surmised. Are we any wiser three decades after we thought we knew what we were doing? And, another question, who were the “we”? The real hope in looking back is to help illuminate, a bit, the future for legal education. Recreating time past--and training students to recreate time past for clients in court and hearing rooms--is what helped propel many of us into legal academia. Predicting the future--and helping law professors predict the future--is what …
The Healing Presence Of Clients In Law School, Angela Mccaffrey
The Healing Presence Of Clients In Law School, Angela Mccaffrey
William Mitchell Law Review
William Mitchell College of Law is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the Law Clinic. As a beneficiary of clinical legal education at William Mitchell, I write this essay to reflect on the value of clinical legal education to law students, to the clients served, and to the community at large. In my view, clinical legal education is timeless--as valuable to law students today as it was thirty years ago when William Mitchell started its first clinic. Although many things combine to make clinical education valuable, three aspects are particularly noteworthy. First, clinics give law students the chance to represent clients …
In Support Of A Unitary Tenure System For Law Faculty: An Essay, Nina W. Tarr
In Support Of A Unitary Tenure System For Law Faculty: An Essay, Nina W. Tarr
William Mitchell Law Review
[L]aw faculties are made up of diverse groups of people who contribute to the academic mission in a variety of ways. Given this, there is no reason to isolate one subset--those who teach in the clinic--and treat them differently when it comes to influence, power, autonomy, access to resources, security, or remuneration. In short, to give them a different “status” has become a historical anachronism.
The Law School Clinic As A Model Ethical Law Office, Peter A. Joy
The Law School Clinic As A Model Ethical Law Office, Peter A. Joy
William Mitchell Law Review
In this essay, I contend that all clinical teachers should explicitly acknowledge that they are legal ethics and professional responsibility teachers and role models of the “good lawyer” in everything they do. I argue that every in-house clinical teacher should strive to make her clinic a model ethical law office.
Risks And Rewards Of Law Student Volunteer Service: A Supervisor’S Perspective, Julie E. Bennett, Sharon H. Fischlowitz
Risks And Rewards Of Law Student Volunteer Service: A Supervisor’S Perspective, Julie E. Bennett, Sharon H. Fischlowitz
William Mitchell Law Review
During the 2002 academic year, law students in Minnesota contributed 16,078 pro bono service hours. This level of student pro bono activity is possible only because licensed attorneys take the time to supervise and guide students. Volunteer supervision, a task separate from the practice of law, requires time, patience, and teaching skills, and has no guaranteed outcome. One might conclude that the necessary investment is not worth the effort. However, year after year, supervisors and volunteers continue to give thousands of service hours, providing critical legal services to clients who would otherwise go unrepresented. This essay examines some of the …
