The Breath Of The Unfee'd Lawyer: Statutory Fee Limitations And Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel In Capital Litigation, Albert L. Vreeland Ii
The Breath Of The Unfee'd Lawyer: Statutory Fee Limitations And Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel In Capital Litigation, Albert L. Vreeland Ii
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that fee limitations deprive indigent defendants of their right to effective assistance of counsel. Part I of this Note reviews state court decisions that address Sixth Amendment challenges to fee limitations, yet fail to address the broader concerns about the appointed counsel system. Part II considers the inherent disincentives and burdens fee limitations impose on attorneys and suggests that the limits threaten the indigent accused's right to effective assistance of counsel. A comparison of the fee limitations and the time required to prepare and try a capital case reveals the gross inadequacy of statutory fee provisions. In …

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Note surveys the existing body of literature on legal education, with a particular emphasis on previous empirical studies concerning law professors. Part II focuses on the increasing number of women in the teaching profession.

Defense Counsel As Prosecution Witness: A Combined Doctrine To Govern Attorney Disclosure, David B. Merchant
Defense Counsel As Prosecution Witness: A Combined Doctrine To Govern Attorney Disclosure, David B. Merchant
Washington Law Review
Prosecutors have increasingly used grand juries to compel defense attorneys to disclose client administrative data such as clients' names, fee amounts, or third-party fee payments. A majority of the federal circuit courts protect administrative information only if disclosure would reveal the substance of previous attorney-client conversations. In contrast, a minority of the circuits protect such information when disclosure would incriminate a client in the case at bar. This Comment argues that neither of the current doctrines accomplishes the goals of the attorney-client privilege. Instead, a doctrine that combines the majority and minority views would more effectively promote the policies underlying …

The Advocate And The Media: The Courthouse Basement, Edward S, Mccallum Iii
Mercer Law Review
The coffee shop at the bottom of the well-worn stairs was not its usual flurry of jibes and clinking dishes. The frantic faces of young attorneys and the sly smiles of experienced advocates that normally graced the dingy tables were gone for the day. All that remained was a waitress brewing one last pot of coffee for the five criminal defense attorneys who somewhat anxiously, somewhat objectively were awaiting the verdict on their five co-defendants. The trial had lasted two tense and turbulent weeks, and now it was 6:30 p.m. The media had covered the case from day one, and …

There Goes The Monopoly: The California Proposal To Allow Nonlawyers To Practice Law, Kathleen E. Justice
There Goes The Monopoly: The California Proposal To Allow Nonlawyers To Practice Law, Kathleen E. Justice
Vanderbilt Law Review
Lawyers love to compete, but only with each other. The legal profession consistently has fought outside competition and successfully has controlled competition to ensure professional survival. Lawyers control competition through participation in bar associations, legislatures, and courts. For example, state statutes and bar association regulations' forbid the practice of law by nonlawyerss To enforce this prohibition, all states require that state and professional bar associations certify individuals as competent legal practitioners before they can practice law. Courts generally have upheld these statutes and regulations. Thus, lawyers have succeeded in limiting outside competition.
These limitations, however, may be resulting in denial …
Procedural Solutions To The Attorney's Fee Problem In Complex Litigation, Christopher P. Lu
Procedural Solutions To The Attorney's Fee Problem In Complex Litigation, Christopher P. Lu
University of Richmond Law Review
Justice William Brennan once observed that disputes about attorneys' fees are "one of the least socially productive types of litigation imaginable." Socially productive or not, attorneys' fees are a major problem in complex litigation today because of both the time and resources needed to determine appropriate fees and the public perception that fees are excessive. While the attorneys' fee problem is not unique to complex suits, the problem is magnified because: 1) complex suits are often more protracted than ordinary suits and necessarily require more lawyers; 2) many fee shifting statutes can be triggered in complex suits; and 3) class …
