On Thinking Theologically About Lawyers As Counselors, Thomas L. Shaffer
On Thinking Theologically About Lawyers As Counselors, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
Professor Morgan is more than gracious to me, his colleague in legal ethics. He understands, I think, that our little sub-discipline is an academic youngster—open, as children are, to insight and persuasion, willing to listen to almost anybody. I am grateful to him for his kind reference to my work. Along with other American law teachers, I am grateful for his leadership, critical thought, scholarly discussion, and example as one of the American legal profession's principal teachers of ethics.
My usefulness among commentators on Morgan's Thinking About Lawyers as Counselors, is probably that I write about legal ethics in reference …
The Legal Ethics Of Fear: On The 1904 Report Of The Committee On Legal Ethics Of The Georgia Bar Association, Thomas L. Shaffer
The Legal Ethics Of Fear: On The 1904 Report Of The Committee On Legal Ethics Of The Georgia Bar Association, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
It would be possible for me now to round off a courteous comment on the 1904 Report with a disquisition on gentleman's ethics in the legal profession. That would have been a less novel thing to do in 1904 than it is now, but at either time it can be supposed to have been expected and, by and large, understood. But I think we can learn more from the 1904 Report by taking a more contentious and somber look at Branham's words. I suggest that what the report shows is unpleasant, that the legal ethic recommended there to Georgia lawyers …
Rings And Promises, Margaret F. Brinig
Rings And Promises, Margaret F. Brinig
Journal Articles
The diamond ring rapidly changed from a relatively obscure token of affection to what amounted to an American tradition. It is customary to explain such a shift in demand in terms of an increase in income, a change in relative prices, or a change in tastes. This assumes a stable legal setting that contracts are enforceable. But if the enforceability of a contract is problematic, what formerly was a relatively costly (hence unused) form of private ordering may become more viable (Kronman: 5). This paper looks at the change in America's demand for diamonds during the period 1930-1985, not as …
The Prospects For Enforcing Monetary Judgments Of The International Court Of Justice: A Study Of Nicaragua's Judgment Against The United States, Mary Ellen O'Connell
The Prospects For Enforcing Monetary Judgments Of The International Court Of Justice: A Study Of Nicaragua's Judgment Against The United States, Mary Ellen O'Connell
Journal Articles
In March 1988, Nicaragua's Sandinista government asked the International Court of Justice ("ICJ") to order the United States to pay $12 billion for violations of international law, as determined by the Court in June 1986. Before the Court could rule, however, the Sandinistas were voted out of office in national elections on February 25, 1990. Nicaragua's new government has recently indicated that it does not intend to give up the claim but will seek a settlement of the judgment with the United States government. But if the parties cannot reach a voluntary settlement, can Nicaragua enforce an ICJ judgment against …
Ancillary Discovery To Prove Denial Of Justice, Roger P. Alford
Ancillary Discovery To Prove Denial Of Justice, Roger P. Alford
Journal Articles
Today foreign investors have a new and powerful weapon to challenge denial of justice. Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) require “fair and equitable treatment” consistent with customary international law, including “the obligation not to deny justice in criminal, civil, or administrative adjudicatory proceedings in accordance with the principles of due process embodied in the principle legal systems of the world.” Those treaties also create a private right of action, empowering investors with the right to initiate international arbitral proceedings directly against the host State. BITs provide the substance and the means for the effective review of judicial behavior. These treaties do …
Legal Ethics After Babel, Thomas L. Shaffer
Legal Ethics After Babel, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
Legal ethics owes as much to Richard M. Nixon as it does to philosophy. The rebirth of legal ethics in the last decade is one of many consequences, although possibly the most obscure, of the burglary at the Watergate Hotel in 1972. The criminal politics that destroyed Mr. Nixon's presidency summoned American lawyers to a serious, systematic examination of the morals of their craft.
