Professional Ethics And Trial Publicity: Another Constitutional Attack On Dr7-107- Hirschkop V. Snead, Stephen E. Baril
University of Richmond Law Review
Philip J. Hirschkop brought an action seeking a declaratory judgment that Disciplinary Rule 7-107 of the Virginia Code of Professional Responsibility, was unconstitutionally vague and over broad. DR 7-107, generally referred to as the "no-comment" rule, prohibits extrajudicial statements by attorneys regarding pending litigation in which they are involved, "if there is a reasonable likelihood that such dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice."
Counsel Fees In Stockholders' Derivative And Class Actions-Hornstein Revisited, Douglas G. Cole
Counsel Fees In Stockholders' Derivative And Class Actions-Hornstein Revisited, Douglas G. Cole
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1939, the first in a series of four comprehensive law review articles by Professor George D. Hornstein was published on the subject of the award of counsel fees in stockholders' derivative suits and corporate class actions. These articles highlighted equitable principles peculiar to such actions, previously not fully understood by either attorneys or the courts, which have made derivative and class actions extremely effective weapons in the battle for corporate democracy. Three very basic questions were posed and answered: 1) Who will pay for the attorneys fees and expenses incurred in such litigation? 2) What factors govern the award …

Student Practice-Limited Appearances In Court By Third Year Law Students
University of Richmond Law Review
The practice of law as it is known to our legal system has been a closely guarded institution since its development in England during the Middle Ages.

Even before the end of the thirteenth century, it was generally recognized that although a litigant could personally appear and argue in his own behalf, the party represented by a lawyer, who was an expert in the law and its language, would have a decided advantage over his opponent.
Ethical Problems Of Government Lawyers, James W. Payne Jr.
Ethical Problems Of Government Lawyers, James W. Payne Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Most discussions of the ethical problems confronting an attorney for the government refer primarily to the more obvious situations involving a potential conflict of interest, such as the offer of some substantial benefit from a private party having business with the government and seeking the aid or good will of the attorney. To be sure, these problems exist and should not be minimized. There are, however, problems with subtler over- tones (although they may involve substantially the same interests) which present ethical difficulties and which cannot be resolved neatly by reference to existing canons of ethics. Although it is not …
