Lawyering And Client Decisionmaking: Informed Consent And The Legal Profession, Mark Spiegel Oct 1979

Lawyering And Client Decisionmaking: Informed Consent And The Legal Profession, Mark Spiegel

Mark Spiegel

In this Article, Professor Spiegel examines the doctrine of informed consent as it relates to the legal profession. The Article first traces the development of the informed-consent doctrine and then considers the extent to which current legal doctrines and professional norms incorporate informed consent between lawyers and their clients. Professor Spiegel suggests that the predominant focus of informed consent is on a lawyer’s power to bind his client vis-à-vis third parties and advocates for the development of an informed-consent doctrine that accounts for the interests of all parties involved. Professor Spiegel concludes with a discussion of the application of his …

The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery Jan 1979

The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery

Brian Slattery

The problem examined in this work is whether the land rights originally held by Canada's Indigenous peoples survived the process whereby the British Crown acquired sovereignty over their territories, and, if so, in what form. The question, although historical in nature, has important implications for current disputes involving Aboriginal land claims in Canada. It is considered here largely as a matter of first impression. The author has examined the historical evidence with a fresh eye, in the light of contemporaneous legal authorities. Due consideration is given to modern case-law, but the primary focus is upon the historical process proper.


Dam Safety: The Critical Imperative, Denis Binder Dec 1978

Dam Safety: The Critical Imperative, Denis Binder

Denis Binder

The spectacular nature of the Teton Dam break emphasizes the basic problem of Dam Safety in this country. Nevertheless, it took several dam breaks and near-misses before the Federal Dam Safety Inspection Act was passed in 1972. It took another series of dam breaks and close-calls for meaningful implementation of the Act to result. Accordingly, this article sets forth a number of critical measures which are essential to a viable dam safety program. Using this model, the author evaluates the Federal Dam Inspection Act, the proposed model codes, and the existing state regulatory procedures and makes appropriate recommendations.
