Children Of A Lesser God: Gdr Lawyers In Post-Socialist Germany, Inga Markovits
Children Of A Lesser God: Gdr Lawyers In Post-Socialist Germany, Inga Markovits
Michigan Law Review
In this essay, I want to investigate German vetting policies by looking at one particular subgroup of examinees: GDR lawyers. In Germany, no other former socialist elite has been submitted to so thorough an ideological cleansing process as the legal profession. After reunification, all GDR judges and prosecutors hoping to remain in office had to undergo investigations that by March 1994 had left only 9.2% of their former numbers in permanent positions. Virtually all East German law professors were removed from their university posts. More than 5000 attorneys in Germany's eastern half are currently being examined for former contacts with …

Governmental And Private Advocates For The Public Interest In Civil Litigation: A Comparative Study, Mauro Cappellitti
Governmental And Private Advocates For The Public Interest In Civil Litigation: A Comparative Study, Mauro Cappellitti
Michigan Law Review
This article examines the means by which public and group interests are represented in civil proceedings throughout the world. I have focused particular attention upon the Ministère public--a French institution imported by a large number of countries--and its analogues, the Attorney General in the common-law countries and the Prokuratura in the socialist world. The Ministère public is, and has been through its centuries-long history, an institutional method for assuring that the "public interest"--or the "collective" or "general interest,'' or the "social concern"--is adequately represented in civil litigation. Yet, other solutions have been utilized--to some extent, even in France--in lieu …
Chinese Communist Law: Its Background And Development, Luke T. Lee
Chinese Communist Law: Its Background And Development, Luke T. Lee
Michigan Law Review
It is perhaps axiomatic to state that law is more than an instrument for the settlement of disputes and punishment of wrongdoers; it is, more importantly, a reflection of the way of life and the philosophy of the people that live under it. Self-evident though the above may be, it bears repeating here, for there is a much greater need for understanding Chinese law now than ever before. China's growing ideological, political, economic, and military impact on the rest of the world would alone serve as a powerful motivation for the study of its law. Certainly, we could not even …

Attorney And Client - Unlawful Practice Before Industrial Commission In Workmen's Compensation Proceedings, Charles R. Moon Jr.
Attorney And Client - Unlawful Practice Before Industrial Commission In Workmen's Compensation Proceedings, Charles R. Moon Jr.
Michigan Law Review
In forty-four states of the Union and in Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands there are workmen's compensation acts. A great majority of these acts provide for a board or commission to settle all disputes as to compensation. Practice before these boards and commissions has become a large share of the business of many lawyers and of many law firms. To them, in particular, and to the legal profession, in general, the question raised in the recent case of Goodman v. Beall is of considerable interest. In this case, suit was brought by a committee of the Ohio …

Book Reviews, Edwin W. Patterson, Edson R. Sunderland, C E. Griffin
Michigan Law Review
The title of this brilliant little volume might, more accurately, have been, "The Spirits of the Common Law," for it depicts the common law as the battleground of many conflicting spirits, from which a few relatively permanent ideas and ideals have emerged triumphant. As a whole, the book is a pluralistic-idealistic interpretation of legal history. Idealistic, because Dean Pound finds that the fundamentals of the 'common law have been shaped by ideas and ideals rather than by economic determinism or class struggle; he definitely rejects a purely economic interpretation of legal history, although he demands a sociological one (pp. io-ii). …
The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross
The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross
Michigan Law Review
There are not more than one hundred and forty practicing English lawyers in the whole Province but they practically all read French and the greater number speak French sufficiently well to conduct business or examine a witness in Court. Lawyers from the other Provinces seldom seek admission to the Quebec Bar unless they are prepared to specialize in some branch of law in which they have gained a national reputation, or enter some established firm. Lawyers of other Provinces seeking to become members of the Quebec Bar are asked to pass an oral examination on the Statute Law of the …
