Attorney Solicitation: The Scope Of State Regulation After Primus And Ohralik, David A. Rabin
Attorney Solicitation: The Scope Of State Regulation After Primus And Ohralik, David A. Rabin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The purpose of this article is to analyze the opinions in Primus and Ohralik, to delineate the scope of permissible state regulation in the wake of those two decisions, and to recommend specific changes in existing state solicitation rules. Part I examines the general nature of attorney solicitation law - by whom it is made and how it is enforced. Part II describes the statutory and constitutional aspects of solicitation law prior to Primus and Ohralik. Part III discusses the Court's holdings in Primus and Ohralik, and the changes in current statutory schemes required by the two …
The Legal Persona: An Essay On The Professional Mask, James R. Elkins
The Legal Persona: An Essay On The Professional Mask, James R. Elkins
Law Faculty Scholarship
The legal profession offers little opportunity for the practitioner to analyze the fundamental constructs underlying the legal system or the dynamics of the lawyering process. Jurisprudence and legal education traditionally have emphasized the external aspects of law, implying that man is a rational decisionmaker who freely controls his life and shapes societal institutions., This approach is unrealistic because it neglects the psychological dimension of man and the complexity of man's behavior. Jurisprudential scholars and legal educators should recognize that a growing body of sophisticated literature in linguistics and anthropology as well as social psychology and psychiatry is also relevant to …

The Legal Profession: Client Interests, Professional Roles, And Social Hierarchies, John P. Heinz, Edward O. Laumann
Michigan Law Review
There is a natural urge to study the extreme. The extreme case is likely to be conspicuous and dramatic. Sociological research on the American legal profession has not, for the most part, resisted the urge. The best-known studies examine lawyers at the extremes of the profession's prestige hierarchy-e.g., Carlin's study of solo practitioners and Smigel's study of the Wall Street lawyer. The profession's center has more often been neglected and few data are available on the bar's overall social structure. Ladinsky's study .of Detroit lawyers covers all types and specialities, and contributes substantially to our understanding of the …
If We Don't Take Care Of Young Lawyers, Who Will?, Gary A. Munneke
If We Don't Take Care Of Young Lawyers, Who Will?, Gary A. Munneke
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
There are now more than 450,000 lawyers in this country, almost double the number of 20 years ago. The American Association of Law Schools estimates that the number of law student graduates averages about 34,000 a year. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor projects that there will be 26,400 new legal jobs each year until 1985. If law school enrollments stay at their current level, that would mean about 8,000 graduates each year would not be able to find a law-related job.

The Federal Rules Of Evidence And The Quality Of Practice In Federal Courts, Stephen A. Saltzburg
The Federal Rules Of Evidence And The Quality Of Practice In Federal Courts, Stephen A. Saltzburg
Cleveland State Law Review
One point that I shall endeavor to make today is that the Federal Rules of Evidence offer an opportunity for dramatic improvement in federal trial court practice. In the hands of the most experienced practitioner or the novice litigator just weaned from law school, the evidence rules offer a promise of even-handed justice that has heretofore been unavailable. Used properly, the Federal Rules of Evidence hold out a promise that trials might be less costly to litigants in terms of out-of-pocket expenditures, that the societal costs associated with erroneous decisions by trial judges might be reduced, and that federal litigants' …
The Corporate And Securities Adviser, The Public Interest, And Professional Ethics, Simon M. Lorne
The Corporate And Securities Adviser, The Public Interest, And Professional Ethics, Simon M. Lorne
Michigan Law Review
It is the thesis of this Article that we, as a society, need to make deliberate decisions about the proper role of the corporate adviser, and, when that function has been defined, to develop a structure within which it can be performed. As the Article makes clear, the logical choices involve what might be described as either revolutionary change or reactionary change. That is, the current trends should either be accelerated or reversed; the present situation is intolerable. While the author will contend that the case for shifting into reverse is more persuasive, getting into a gear, and out of …
