Book Review Of A Radical Lawyer In Victorian England: W. P. Roberts And The Struggle For Workers' Rights By Raymond Challinor, W. Wesley Pue Jan 1991

Book Review Of A Radical Lawyer In Victorian England: W. P. Roberts And The Struggle For Workers' Rights By Raymond Challinor, W. Wesley Pue

All Faculty Publications

This essay assesses the history of one of Britain's most important lawyers for the working class through a critical review of Raymond Challinor's ground-breaking work. The life of W. P. Roberts spanned crucial decades of the nineteenth Century. Admitted to the lower branch of the legal profession in Bath in 1827 W. P. Roberts converted from Toryism in the first decade of his professional life to emerge as a leading figure in the Bath Working Men's Association by 1837. Apparently motivated by a deeply-held Christian belief in an essential human dignity, Roberts' consistently employed the law as a shield in …

Capturing The Literature Of The Bar: A Proposal For Library Package Plans, Georgia Briscoe

Publications

Publications of state and local bar associations are difficult for libraries to acquire and maintain because bar associations' publication activities are often not centralized. Standing orders or package plans will enhance services of bar associations. The American Bar Association and Illinois State Bar Association offer models for other states to follow.

Rethinking Work Product, Elizabeth G. Thornburg Jan 1991

Rethinking Work Product, Elizabeth G. Thornburg

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

This article analyzes the traditional and law & economics explanations purporting to justify the exclusion of work product materials from discovery. It argues that none of these arguments are well founded and that, instead, the privilege increases costs and decreases the system's ability to produce appropriate settlements and accurate fact finding. To the extent that the privilege serves legitimate ends, narrower and more narrowly tailored protections would provide the necessary protection.

Making Sense Of Criminal Law, James Boyd White Jan 1991

Making Sense Of Criminal Law, James Boyd White

Book Chapters

When a student comes to law school, he leaves behind a world he knows and understands and turns to another world, that of the law, which at the beginning he cannot comprehend. He is immersed in a body of literature that is at once assertive and confusing; he attends a series of classes in which his teacher seems to make the unsettling assumption that he already knows what he came to learn. One question he will naturally ask himself of all this - his experience of the law - is whether it makes any sense to him. And for a …

Doing Business: The Management Of Uncertainty In Lawyers' Work, John Flood Jan 1991

Doing Business: The Management Of Uncertainty In Lawyers' Work, John Flood

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Apparently naive, but in fact not, is the question: What do lawyers do? Many scholars assume the central role of the lawyer is that of the advocate, but among lawyers working in law firms advocacy consumes little of their time. Similarly, the term lawyer provides hardly any meaning in itself. The research presented here is based on a participant-observation study of a corporate law firm. The central thesis proposed, in the light of case studies of the selling of shopping mall and the arranging of a bank loan, is that business lawyers are engaged in managing uncertainty for both their …
