Unauthorized Practice Of Law-Union Program Of Hiring Attorneys Is Unauthorized Practice Of Law--Illinois State Bar Ass'n V. United Mine Workers Of America, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

District 12 of the United Mine Workers (UMW) employed an attorney on a salary basis to prosecute members' claims under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Members were free to employ other counsel, but if they sought help from the union lawyer, the union agreed not to interfere with the attorney-client relationship. The attorney prepared his case from filed reports of the accidents, and, generally, his first contact with the union member was when they appeared before the Commission. Since the attorney was compensated by the union, the entire amount received in award or settlement went to the member. The Illinois Bar …

Attorney-Client-Client's Right To Engage Out-Of-State Attorney For Advice Concerning Federal Claim Is A Privilege And Immunity Of National Citizenship--Spanos V. Skouras Theatre Corp., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The state and federal courts, existing side by side within the boundaries of each state, separately control admission to practice law before their respective bars. Although membership in a state bar is generally a prerequisite for admission to the bar of a federal court, the two systems do function under separate and distinct ground rules, and they appear to have done so with a minimum of friction. However, the principal case is indicative of the problems that may arise when state policy on the right to practice law within the state conflicts with federal policy.

Attorneys--Self-Incrimination--The Attorney's Privilege Against Self-Incrimination In A Disbarment Proceeding, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A state court has jurisdiction to deal with the alleged misconduct of attorneys practicing before it either explicitly by statute or by ' virtue of its power to control the conduct of its own affairs. Indeed, it can suspend or disbar an attorney who fails to maintain the standard of conduct established for members of the legal profession. One aspect of such a standard is that an attorney is bound not to obstruct the administration of justice, a duty which imposes upon him an affirmative obligation to cooperate with the courts. The question frequently arises whether, in order to satisfy …

Garnishment - Full Faith And Credit - Nature Of Principal Judgment, John N. Seaman

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, appellee, sued an Illinois insurance company for legal services, and on the same day sued out a writ of garnishment against a Michigan debtor of the insurance company. Two days later the insurance company was dissolved in Illinois under the provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code, and an Illinois liquidator was vested with title to all of the insurance company's property, wherever located. The liquidator intervened in this case, claiming prior title to the garnishment debt, by virtue of the Illinois statute and judicial proceedings. Held, the commencement of the garnishment suit gave plaintiff a lien on the …
