Client As Subject: Humanizing The Legal Curriculum, Eduardo R.C. Capulong Oct 2016

Client As Subject: Humanizing The Legal Curriculum, Eduardo R.C. Capulong

Faculty Law Review Articles

In this essay, I suggest that we create a distinct field of academic inquiry: clients, in particular subordinated clients. Rising to Professor L ´ opez’s challenge, I propose that we organize the disparate strands of practice and scholarship in this area and develop a theoretical framework by which to study them.4 I attempt a modest step in that direction here. After summarizing the current conception and treatment of clients in the legal curriculum, I harness and reconceive various strands of literature and weave them into one curricular model for client studies. We are well-familiar with the ways in which most …

Peter Singer, Drowning Children, And Pro Bono, John M.A. Dipippa Oct 2016

Peter Singer, Drowning Children, And Pro Bono, John M.A. Dipippa

Faculty Scholarship

This Article uses the ethicist Peter Singer's principles to examine and critique the legal profession's pro bono efforts in the face of the persistent gap between the public's legal needs and their ability to meet them. Singer argues that adults should jump into a pond to save a drowning child. Using the drowning child as an analogy, this Article argues that lawyers are morally obligated to (1)increase the amount of their pro bono efforts, (2) be more selective in the cases they take, and (3) be significantly more generous in their financial support for legal services providers. These obligations are …


A Call For Strengthening The Role Of Comparative Legal Analysis In The United States, Irene Calboli Oct 2016

A Call For Strengthening The Role Of Comparative Legal Analysis In The United States, Irene Calboli

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay highlights the importance of comparative legal analysis with particular emphasis on the role that this methodology could play for intellectual property scholarship in the United States. In particular, this Essay suggests that U.S. scholars could consider turning with more frequency to comparative legal analysis as an additional methodology to use in their research. Yet, the objective of this Essay is not to suggest that U.S. scholars should engage in comparative legal analysis in lieu of other types of research methodologies. Instead, this Essay simply supports that comparative legal analysis could play a larger role compared to the one …

American Bar Association Resolution 112: Championing Public Access To The Law., Nina A. Mendelson

Articles

In August 2016, the American Bar Association House of Delegates reaffirmed the fundamental democratic principle of public access to the law. ABA Resolution 112 calls on Congress to enact legislation ensuring a basic level of public access, without charge, to all regulatory law. Such legislation would address serious current obstacles to the public’s ability to see the law.

The Monopoly Myth And Other Tales About The Superiority Of Lawyers, Leslie Levin Aug 2016

The Monopoly Myth And Other Tales About The Superiority Of Lawyers, Leslie Levin

Faculty Articles and Papers

The legal profession’s control of much of the market for legal services is justified by the claim that only licensed lawyers can effectively and ethically represent clients. This article challenges that claim. A review of a number of studies suggests that experienced nonlawyers can provide competent legal services in certain contexts and in some cases, can seemingly do so as effectively as lawyers. There is also little evidence that lawyers’ legal training, the bar admission requirements, or lawyers’ psychological characteristics make them more trustworthy than nonlawyer legal services providers. The article considers some recent initiatives, such as Washington’s approval of …
