The Ethics Of Lobbying Under The District Of Columbia Rules Of Professional Conduct, Michael S. Frisch
The Ethics Of Lobbying Under The District Of Columbia Rules Of Professional Conduct, Michael S. Frisch
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The District of Columbia is the epicenter of lobbying in the United States. With the presence of the Congress, the Executive Branch and its various Departments and independent agencies, few industries, trade associations or large businesses lack a Washington-based government relations arm. Law firms and lawyers fill in the gaps for those entities that lack a Washington presence or supplement in-house staffing with additional expertise and contacts.
Under these circumstances, it should come as no surprise that the bar authorities in the District of Columbia have examined the issue of lawyers and lobbying and implemented rules that differ from the …
Louis D. Brandeis And The Lawyer Advocacy System, Robert F. Cochran Jr.
Louis D. Brandeis And The Lawyer Advocacy System, Robert F. Cochran Jr.
Pepperdine Law Review
The law practice of Louis Brandeis serves as an appropriate vehicle for examining both the history of the legal profession in the United States and the role of lawyers as philanthropists. Brandeis was one of America's most successful and innovative lawyers at the turn of the twentieth century, and serves as a role model for lawyers in his dedication to public service. Brandeis, of course, is best known for his work as a Justice on the United States Supreme Court; however, he is less well known for his work as a lawyer-though he practiced law for 40 years before he …

Expecting Too Much And Too Little Of Lawyers, Eugene R. Gaetke
Expecting Too Much And Too Little Of Lawyers, Eugene R. Gaetke
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The regulation of lawyers' behavior remains a controversial topic. Over the past hundred years, the organized bar has engaged in a number of efforts to generate rules governing lawyers' conduct. Still, prominent lawyers and jurists, the public media, and legal scholars perceive an ongoing decline in the profession's ethics.
Bar leaders tend to respond to the problem by calling for greater "professionalism" among practicing lawyers. Drawing on professional images from earlier times, they urge lawyers to look beyond the rules and to be more virtuous, selfless, independent of clients, and dedicated to justice.
A number of commentators go further. These …

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 …
