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.

When a sexual abuse scandal rocked Penn State, when Apple engaged in anticompetitive behavior, and when servicers like Bank of America improperly foreclosed upon hundreds of thousands of homeowners, each organization entered into a Modern-Day Monitorship. Modern-Day Monitorships are utilized in an array of contexts to assist in widely varying remediation efforts.

Instead, Modern-Day Monitorships have been employed …
