Ombuds In Cloud Of Exabytes--Understanding The Ombuds' Digital Trail, Craig Mousin
Ombuds In Cloud Of Exabytes--Understanding The Ombuds' Digital Trail, Craig Mousin
Mission and Ministry Publications
This article examines Ombuds Standards of Practice as Ombuds increasingly rely upon electronic communication. It first explores the expansion of electronically stored information (ESI) due to the many different electronic devices Ombuds rely upon or interact with including computers, smartphones, and printers. It then reviews how novel legal issues caused by e-discovery--the search for relevant digital documents in litigation--will impact Ombuds. Finally, it offers Ombuds suggestions on managing and controlling ESI while raising the question of whether the International Ombudsman Association must review its Standards of Practice in light of these ESI developments.
Trust And The Commitment To Fairness, Tan K. B. Eugene
Trust And The Commitment To Fairness, Tan K. B. Eugene
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Assistant Professor Eugene Tan writes that tripartism has given us years of industrial peace and prosperity in Singapore, but warns that trust must work both ways. The high principle of tripartism does not necessarily mean that the partners will subscribe to the same policies and outlook on what is needed for workplace harmony.
Musings On Mediation, Kleenex, And (Smudged) White Hats, Nancy A. Welsh
Musings On Mediation, Kleenex, And (Smudged) White Hats, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay speculates on the global future of mediation. It anticipates that mediation’s popularity will continue to grow both in the U.S. and abroad particularly as courts continue to encourage and institutionalize the process. Meanwhile, the Essay acknowledges the existence and continuing development of a relatively small cadre of elite lawyers and retired judges who serve as private mediators in large, complex matters.
The Essay also raises concerns, though, regarding the current lack of clarity in the goals and procedural characteristics that define mediation. The Essay asserts that such lack of clarity invites abuse of the mediation privilege and exclusionary …

How are relationships between corporate clients and law firms evolving? Drawing on interview and survey data from 166 chief legal officers of S&P 500 companies from 2006-2007, we find that-contrary to standard depictions of corporate client-provider relationships-(1) large companies have relationships with ten to twenty preferred providers; (2) these relationships continue to be enduring, and (3) clients focus not only on law firm platforms and lead partners, but also on teams and departments within preferred providers, allocating work to these subunits at rival firms over time and following "star" lawyers, especially if they move as part of a team. The …
Lawyering In The Christian Colony: Some Hauerwasian Themes, Reflections, And Questions, W. Bradley Wendel
Lawyering In The Christian Colony: Some Hauerwasian Themes, Reflections, And Questions, W. Bradley Wendel
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
One who shared Hauerwas's theological commitments might find it difficult to serve as a lawyer, given that the principles of legal ethics are grounded in the kind of political liberalism that Hauerwas finds repellent. For example, Stephen Pepper's well known liberal defense of the standard conception of legal ethics pretty much pushes all of the buttons that set off Hauerwas. Pepper argues that while the law necessarily imposes restrictions on what we may do, but no one else is empowered to place restrictions on our autonomy. In a complex, highly legalistic society, however, citizens are necessarily required in some cases …

Lawyers Judging Experts: Oversimplifying Science And Undervaluing Advocacy To Construct An Ethical Duty?, David S. Caudill
Lawyers Judging Experts: Oversimplifying Science And Undervaluing Advocacy To Construct An Ethical Duty?, David S. Caudill
Working Paper Series
My focus is on an apparent trend at the intersection of the fields of evidentiary standards for expert admissibility and professional responsibility, namely the eagerness to place more ethical responsibilities on lawyers to vet their proffered expertise to ensure its reliability. My reservations about this trend are not only based on its troubling implications for the lawyer’s duty as a zealous advocate, which already has obvious limitations (because of lawyers’ conflicting duties to the court), but are also based on the problematic aspects of many reliability determinations. To expect attorneys—and this is what the proponents of a duty to vet …

Justice For All: Improving Enforcement And Relief Efforts Of Human Trafficking Laws In Relation To Immigration Reform And Border Control, Katelyn J. Flynn
Justice For All: Improving Enforcement And Relief Efforts Of Human Trafficking Laws In Relation To Immigration Reform And Border Control, Katelyn J. Flynn
Honors Program Projects
This paper is based on the experience of living in Washington D.C., interning in the Senate, and participating in the American Studies Program for a semester in order to comprehensively research immigration reform with a focus on human trafficking laws and border security. Human trafficking violates human rights by forcing or coercing men, women, and children for sexual or labor exploitation. Globally, 600,000 to 800,000 victims are trafficked and 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States each year. This paper exposes the issue of human trafficking, reports research, and answers questions about how human trafficking affects its …
Three Concepts Of Roles, W. Bradley Wendel
Three Concepts Of Roles, W. Bradley Wendel
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
One of the many themes in the work of Fred Zacharias was the question of the moral status of role obligations or how roles should be moralized. This paper, written for an issue of the San Diego Law Review dedicated to the memory of Professor Zacharias, explores three alternative ways of conceiving of the relationship between morality and role obligations: strong role differentiation, which posits that roles can change the normative situation of actors; what I call the nexus view, which holds that roles are merely a shorthand for the intersection of existing ordinary moral obligations; and the concept of …
Integrating "Alternative" Dispute Resolution Into Bankruptcy: As Simple (And Pure) As Motherhood And Apple Pie?, Nancy A. Welsh
Integrating "Alternative" Dispute Resolution Into Bankruptcy: As Simple (And Pure) As Motherhood And Apple Pie?, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
Today, there can be little doubt that “alternative” dispute resolution is anything but alternative. Nonetheless, many judges, lawyers (and law students) do not truly understand the dispute resolution processes that are available and how they should be used. In the shadow of the current economic crisis, this lack of knowledge is likely to have negative consequences, particularly in those areas of practice such as bankruptcy and foreclosure in which clients, lawyers, regulators, and courts work under pressure, often with inadequate time and financial resources to permit careful analysis of procedural options. Potential negative effects can include: (1) impairment of a …

My Brother's Keeper: An Empirical Study Of Attorney Facilitation Of Money-Laundering Through Commercial Transactions, Lawton P. Cummings, Paul T. Stepnowsky
Faculty Scholarship
In recent years, various “gatekeeping initiatives” have been introduced through inter-governmental standard-setting organizations, such as the Financial Action Task Force, as well as through federal legislation in the United States, which seek to apply the mandatory customer due diligence, record keeping, and suspicious activity reporting obligations contained in the existing anti-money laundering regime to lawyers when they conduct certain commercial transactions on behalf of their clients. The organized bar has argued against such attempts to regulate it, in part, due to the lack of empirical data showing that, as a threshold matter, lawyers unwittingly aid money laundering in a significant …
The Ethics Of Willful Ignorance, Rebecca Roiphe
The Ethics Of Willful Ignorance, Rebecca Roiphe
Articles & Chapters
The ABA ethical rules state that a lawyer may not assist a client in conduct that she “knows” is criminal or fraudulent. In this article, I argue that we ought to hold lawyers responsible when they remain willfully ignorant of their clients’ illegal activity. When a lawyer suspects that her client might be engaged in criminal or fraudulent activity, she should have an obligation to investigate. I disagree with prominent legal ethics scholar, David Luban, who has argued that lawyers should be able to turn a blind eye to signs of wrongdoing. I argue that rather than undermining the attorney …

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
As foreign as it can seem to not be in a physical classroom with bodies sitting in the chairs listening, it is a very different way of teaching but it can be very effective. If you go through this process of developing and dividing outcomes, dividing modules, and selecting the right technology, it can work. And that is kind of a scary thought to some people. Perhaps not people who have come to this section today or to this conference about What's Next, but for many of our colleagues, this is kind of a scary thought – that you might …

Specialty Bars As A Site Of Professionalism: The Immigration Bar Example, Leslie Levin
Specialty Bars As A Site Of Professionalism: The Immigration Bar Example, Leslie Levin
Faculty Articles and Papers
As the practice of law has become increasingly specialized, specialty bar associations have become more important to the work lives of many lawyers and their understanding of professional norms. This article looks at the role of a single specialty bar association - the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) - in the construction of its members’ norms and values. The article draws on semi-structured interviews with 71 immigration lawyers in the New York City metropolitan area to identify the ways in which specialty bars foster lawyers’ understanding of professional norms - both formally and informally - through education, information sharing, mentoring, …

Zacharias’s work, What Lawyers Do When Nobody’s Watching: Legal Advertising as a Case Study of the Impact of Underenforced Professional Rules. Following the Introduction, Part II of the Article summarizes Nobody’s Watching – an empirically based study of lawyers in California who advertised in the yellow pages of telephone books. Part II reviews Professor Zacharias’ findings and analysis concerning unenforced or underenforced ethics rules regulating lawyer advertising. Part III discusses the significance of Nobody’s Watching as an early empirical study of lawyer advertising in the field of professional responsibility and its …
Pretrial Procedures For Innocent People: Reforming Brady, Lissa Griffin
Pretrial Procedures For Innocent People: Reforming Brady, Lissa Griffin
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In this article, the author proposes that the prosecution’s obligation to disclose exculpatory information to the defense be formalized by statute, court rule, or internal protocol in ways that would reflect the current state of our knowledge of and experience with both Brady and wrongful convictions. This would improve on the current ineffective constitutional protection—and any existing statutory or rule-based regimes—in several ways. First, such a formalized regime would require disclosure of all materials that are reasonably helpful to the defense. Second, unlike the constitutional doctrine, which provides no reliable mechanism for monitoring police disclosure to the prosecution, an accompanying …

More than six years ago, volunteer lawyers, law students, and law faculty from the Gulf Coast and around the country provided assistance to communities devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the systemic failures of their own government. The volunteers provided much-needed support at a time when existing legal institutions were completely overwhelmed. Through their participation, the law students learned important firsthand lessons about the lack of equality in society, the possibility of redress through law, and the limitations of law.
Disasters present challenges and opportunities for law schools and other academic institutions with social justice missions because they expose …
