Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson
Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson
Cleveland State Law Review
The young attorney often may have time on his hands. He may be tempted to increase his following by advertising or by soliciting clients, but rules of the bar and statutes against solicitation prevent this. There are, of course, some forms of advertising open to all lawyers. National directories and law lists, such as the Martin dale-Hubbell Law Directory, theoretically published only for lawyers, not only advertise the attorney and his firm, but also list the names of any clients whom he wishes to give as representative of his practice and his specialties.
Legal Ethics And The Poverty Program, Kenneth D. Korosec
Legal Ethics And The Poverty Program, Kenneth D. Korosec
Cleveland State Law Review

Cleveland State Law Review

My suggestion in this writing is that we may well be on the verge of a revolution in the practice of law, and that things may indeed "be different around here" in the practice.
A Neighborhood Law Office: The New Haven Project, Charles D. Gill
A Neighborhood Law Office: The New Haven Project, Charles D. Gill
Cleveland State Law Review
The first new step taken by the New Haven community was the establishment of free legal services for the poor in offices located within poverty stricken neighborhoods. The offices serve all persons residing within a particular geographic area who meet a financial eligibility standard. Our services are available in both civil and criminal matters. The only type of cases specifically excluded are personal injury plaintiff suits, where there is the possibility of a contingent fee arrangement.
