The Zombie Lawyer Apocalypse, Peter H. Huang, Corie Rosen Felder
The Zombie Lawyer Apocalypse, Peter H. Huang, Corie Rosen Felder
Pepperdine Law Review
This article uses a popular cultural framework to address the near-epidemic levels of depression, decision-making errors, and professional dissatisfaction that studies document are prevalent among many law students and lawyers today. Zombies present an apt metaphor for understanding and contextualizing the ills now common in the American legal and legal education systems. To explore that metaphor and its import, this article will first establish the contours of the zombie literature and will apply that literature to the existing state of legal education and legal practice — ultimately describing a state that we believe can only be termed “the Zombie Lawyer …
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 …

Practicing Law As A Christian: Restoration Movement Perspectives, Thomas G. Bost, L. Timothy Perrin
Practicing Law As A Christian: Restoration Movement Perspectives, Thomas G. Bost, L. Timothy Perrin
Pepperdine Law Review
The legal profession faces a potential crisis where the professional and personal lives of practicing lawyers are being compartmentalized, with little relationship to or integration with each other, and with sometimes starkly differing standards of conduct and morality. Perrin and Bost argue that a Christian lawyer's commitment to Christ calls them to a standard of conduct higher than or different from the ethical rules propounded by the bar. The article examines the "standard vision" of lawyer conduct and ethical responsibility and summarizes four models of how Christians have adopted in relating to secular culture: in harmony with the code; against …

From a perspective of Jewish law and ethics, moral conduct comprises an imperative at home and at the workplace no less than at …
