Admission To The Bar: A Constitutional Analysis, Ben C. Adams, Edward H. Benton, David A. Beyer, Harrison L. Marshall, Jr., Carter R. Todd, Jane G. Allen Special Projects Editor
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Special Project examines and analyzes selected constitutional challenges to requirements for permanent and temporary admission to the bar. In the area of permanent admission, the Special Project looks at constitutional challenges to three qualifications typically required of bar applicants by states: demonstration of good moral character, successful completion of a bar examination, and residency. In the area of admission "pro hac vice", the Project examines constitutional challenges to the basis on which judges have denied temporary admission to an applicant.
Prospective Waiver Of The Right To Disqualify Counsel For Conflicts Of Interest, Michigan Law Review
Prospective Waiver Of The Right To Disqualify Counsel For Conflicts Of Interest, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Part I of the Note discusses canon 4, first explaining the presumptions and policies that underlie it, then arguing that courts should enforce prospective waivers of the presumption of shared confidences when conditioned on the law firm's effective screening of client confidences - keeping them from the attorneys within the firm who will take part in the adverse representation. Part II turns to canon 5, and argues that prospective waivers of the presumption of diluted loyalties should be enforced against clients moving to disqualify law firms for a canon 5 violation.

Judicial Control Over The Bar Versus Legislative Regulation Of Governmental Ethics: The Pennsylvania Approach And A Proposed Alternative, Stephen J. Shapiro
Judicial Control Over The Bar Versus Legislative Regulation Of Governmental Ethics: The Pennsylvania Approach And A Proposed Alternative, Stephen J. Shapiro
Duquesne Law Review
Pennsylvania courts, led by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, recently have declared two sections of the Pennsylvania Ethics Act unconstitutional as applied to judges and attorneys. Citing the exclusive power of the supreme court to regulate the practice of law in Pennsylvania, the courts have struck down the Act's postemployment restriction and financial disclosure requirement. The author critically examines the Pennsylvania decisions in this area and concludes that the courts' reasoning is contrary to settled principles of separation of powers. He suggests an alternative approach for determining the constitutionality of ethics legislation that regulates the conduct of the judiciary and …
Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege - New Emphasis On The Lawyer's Need To Know: Upjohn Co. V. United States, Michael J. Viscount Jr.
Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege - New Emphasis On The Lawyer's Need To Know: Upjohn Co. V. United States, Michael J. Viscount Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
In seeking the advice of legal counsel, the corporation may, out of necessity, communicate through its representatives confidential secrets about its conduct in business. As is the case with individuals, it is well settled that a corporation may avail itself of the evidentiary privilege which allows concealment of such confidential communications. This so-called attorney-client privilege is the oldest of the privileges for confidential communications known to the common law. However, its application in the corporate context has been quite unpredictable for the past twenty years.

There were 2,750 young lawyers, 1.8 percent of all young attorneys in the ABA, who responded to the Career Satisfaction Survey. The preliminary survey involved in-depth interviews with 150 young lawyers. The final questionnaire was based upon these interviews. The responses were many and varied, and it was difficult to find many answers "In common. Some respondents found it necessary to elaborate on their answers by writing comments in the columns of the survey. A few of these answers are included because they were both humorous and enlightening.
Henry Knox And The Moral Theology Of Law Firms, Thomas L. Shaffer
Henry Knox And The Moral Theology Of Law Firms, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
One of the reasons we modern American lawyers find the "golden age" of our 19th century forebears attractive is that it was morally unambiguous. It seems to have been an age of giants who were consistent. The "republican" lawyers who wrote our first statements on legal ethics were moral theologians as well as leaders—and they found no difficulty in being both. David Hoffman, who attracted as much applause from the conservative Calvinists at Princeton Theological Seminary as he attracted from the bench and bar, drew no distinction between the morals he practiced at home and the morals he practiced in …
