Legal Ethics In China: Reflections On The Formation Of Professional Identity, Judith Mcmorrow
Judith A. McMorrow
The Chinese legal profession has grown rapidly in the last 30 years. This talk discussed the challenge of creating norms of attorney conduct (legal ethics) in a fragile and young legal system. The second part of the talk used ongoing research on the formation of professional identity.

Drafting Mediated Agreements In Summary Process, Alan Minuskin
Drafting Mediated Agreements In Summary Process, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Mediating landlord-tenant disputes is challenging work, but because of the inherent complexity of the law, particularly procedural requirements, the drafting of a mediated agreement demands both legal and verbal agility. The consequence of mistakes is the unraveling of a carefully constructed accord. Technique that takes into consideration both legal requirements and human behavior is necessary to prevent further disputes.

The Law Of Surrogacy, Alan Minuskin
The Law Of Surrogacy, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Professionals who work with elders, as well as elders themselves, need to know fundamentally what devices are available under local law to help protect and advance the rights of a potentially unavailable or incapacitated person. The law on these matters is clear, but the ethical implications are messy.
Challenges In Mediating Landlord-Tenant Disputes, Alan Minuskin
Challenges In Mediating Landlord-Tenant Disputes, Alan Minuskin
Alan D. Minuskin
Mediating landlord-tenant disputes presents many of the same mixture of interpersonal, legal, factual, strategic, and ethical dimension as other community-leve disputes, like family and employment mediation. The law is complex, the relationships between the parties are ongoing and may survive the dispute. A special skill set is needed to perform this work effectively.

The Why Of It: Langdell's Generation Speaks To Today's Law Sudents, David S. Dehorse
David S. DeHorse
I belive this portrayal of the Case System of Legal Study will be invaluable to every student entering law school, and most of those who have completed their 1L year. Frankly, most practicing lawyers would probably benefit by a reading. I've been told it's a "good read." Hope you'll agree.

Fitting The Formula For Judicial Review: The Law-Fact Distinction In Immigration Law, Rebecca Sharpless
Fitting The Formula For Judicial Review: The Law-Fact Distinction In Immigration Law, Rebecca Sharpless
Rebecca Sharpless
The ill-defined law-fact distinction often stands as the gatekeeper to judicial review of an agency deportation order, restricting non-citizens facing deportation to raising only questions of law when appearing before an appellate court. The restriction on review most affects cases whose dispositions typically turn on the resolution of factual issues, including claims under Article 3 of the Convention Against Torture and claims for discretionary relief from deportation like cancellation of removal. Convention Against Torture claims, for example, often involve extensive fact-finding on the part of the immigration judge regarding conditions in the applicant’s home country and the applicant’s personal circumstances. …
Lawyers And Fundamental Moral Responsibility, R. Michael Cassidy, Daniel Coquillette, Judith Mcmorrow
Lawyers And Fundamental Moral Responsibility, R. Michael Cassidy, Daniel Coquillette, Judith Mcmorrow
R. Michael Cassidy
The materials in this book are organized around specific problems designed to encourage and focus class discussion. There are two other inherent organizing principles of the materials in this book. First, the philosophical materials are in the rough order in which the ideas themselves evolved in the history of philosophy. The materials have been revised since the book first was published in 1995 to address some of the burning ethical problems of our day, including terrorism, national security, and abuse of government power. The Second Edition also is reorganized to assist students to better appreciate philosophical theories underpinning discourse about …

It's All About The People: Creating A "Community Of Memory" In Civil Procedure Ii, Part One, Jennifer E. Spreng
It's All About The People: Creating A "Community Of Memory" In Civil Procedure Ii, Part One, Jennifer E. Spreng
Jennifer E Spreng
In Fall 2008, a nascent classroom community emerged among my Civil Procedure students, teaching assistants and I. That term’s adventure eventually became the vital “past” for the fully formed community that would knit students of future classes together as one.
The genesis of this early classroom community was my ideal of “the good lawyer” as the small-firm or small-jurisdiction practitioner I had known as a seven-year solo practitioner in a town of 50,000 people. That ideal was a combination of “the rhythms of the law” that run throughout the specialties; a more respectful and less stratified model of professionalism, and …

Who Wants To Be A Muggle? The Diminished Legitimacy Of Law As Magic, Mark E. Burge
Who Wants To Be A Muggle? The Diminished Legitimacy Of Law As Magic, Mark E. Burge
Mark Edwin Burge
In the Harry Potter world, the magical population lives among the non-magical Muggle population, but we Muggles are largely unaware of them. This secrecy is by elaborate design and is necessitated by centuries-old hostility to wizards by the non-magical majority. The reasons behind this hostility, when combined with the similarities between Harry Potter-stylemagic and American law, make Rowling’s novels into a cautionary tale for the legal profession that it not treat law as a magic unknowable to non-lawyers. Comprehensibility — as a self-contained, normative value in the enactment interpretation, and practice of law — is given short-shrift by the legal …
Régimen De Prisión Preventiva En América Latina: La Pena Anticipada, La Lógica Cautelar Y La Contrarreforma / Pre-Trial Detention Regime In Latin America: The Pre-Trial Punishment, Flight Risk And The Counter Reform, Claudio Fuentes Maureira
Régimen De Prisión Preventiva En América Latina: La Pena Anticipada, La Lógica Cautelar Y La Contrarreforma / Pre-Trial Detention Regime In Latin America: The Pre-Trial Punishment, Flight Risk And The Counter Reform, Claudio Fuentes Maureira
Claudio Fuentes Maureira
One of the main reasons that justified the criminal procedure reform in Latin America was the possibility to overcome and changed different practices that were very problematic. One of these complex situations was the excessive use of pre-trial detention in the context of criminal investigations; in particular, the abuse of this institution had a dangerous outcome when it comes to the protection of the human rights of the detainees.
From the mid 90’s onwards, most of the Latin American countries started a reform of their criminal institutions and proceedings. A considerable portion of the legal framework was heavily modified in …
