The Prosecutor's Duty To Present Exculpatory Evidence To An Indicting Grand Jury, Michigan Law Review
The Prosecutor's Duty To Present Exculpatory Evidence To An Indicting Grand Jury, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note explores the implications of the stark procedural disparities between prosecution by information and prosecution by indictment in those states where both methods are used. It first examines the consequences to a defendant of a prosecutor's decision to seek an indictment rather than proceed by information, the reasons underlying the discretion given the prosecutor to choose between the two methods, and the potential for abuse of this discretionary power. It then considers several alternative approaches for minimizing this potential for abuse. After rejecting possible constitutional objections to the disparity between indictment and information procedures and application of the common-law …

This article will delineate these objectives and evaluate whether they have been satisfied. Moreover, it will propose additional goals that the legal profession, given its present status as a self-regulating profession, should attain in satisfying its responsibility for governing the professional conduct of its members. Finally, additional measures that several states have instituted in order to complement the efforts of disciplinary agencies and clients' security funds by fulfilling unsatisfied needs of professional responsibility will be examined.

A Higher Duty: A New Look At The Ethics Of The Corporate Lawyer, Harvey Frank
A Higher Duty: A New Look At The Ethics Of The Corporate Lawyer, Harvey Frank
Cleveland State Law Review
Although it has not always been clear to the legal profession that the conduct of its most powerful clients affects ethical responsibilities, the resulting problems have become more evident in recent years to the courts, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), and members of the bar. Recent developments have been diffuse, and include a changing legal conceptualization of corporations as well as numerous considerations involved in corporate legal representation. Viewed together and placed into focus, these developments shed considerable light on the sometimes conflicting duties of the corporate lawyer to clients and to the public. While some of these ethical questions …
