Legal Malpractice And Compulsory Client Protection, Benjamin Franklin Boyer, Gary Conner

UC Law Journal

The authors discuss the need for a compulsory professional liability insurance plan for attorneys as a means of protecting members of the public from legal malpractice. The proposed plan would be on a claims-made basis by a public corporation. The authors suggest that such a plan would complete the present professional responsibility scheme, while benefiting both the profession and the public. The authors state that a Professional Liability Fund may be imposed through the inherent power of the court over attorneys or through the police power of the state.

Justice In The Slough Of Equality, Julius Stone

UC Law Journal

The problem of how best to resolve "reverse discrimination" questions under the equal protection clause is currently receiving much attention. The author closely examines the widely accepted belief that equality is the same thing as justice. He demonstrates that there is no a priori or empirical justification for this identification and rejects it as an analytical touchstone whose usefulness is over. Something more flexible must be created to help define the relationship between "equal treatment' and "justice." In his analysis of equal protection clause case law, he demonstrates that equality, as a criterion of justice, is too inflexible to be …

Discovery Of Plaintiffs' Financial Situation In Federal Class Actions: Heading 'Em Off At The Passbook, Betty C. Bullock

UC Law Journal

As part of their attack on Rule 23 class certification, defendants have asserted various theories to support discovery of the representative plaintiffs' financial resources. This Note examines the underlying reasons for these discovery requests and the mixed reactions of the federal courts. The author then advances an approach that balances the legitimate interests of both plaintiffs and defendants while not unduly discouraging class suits.

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.

Altruism And Professionalism: Boston And The Rise Of Organized Legal Aid, 1900-1925, Part Ii, Michael Grossberg

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The Boston Legal Aid Society was founded in 1900. In the years after 1910, led by General Counsel Reginald Heber Smith, the Society assumed leadership of the fledgling movement to offer legal services to the urban poor. Under its influence the first organized attack on the legal problems of the impoverished was launched. The effort had its origins in the social and professional crises that beset turn of the century American cities and lawyers. As described in the first installment of this article, the major difficulty facing the movement during this generative era was how to balance the conflicting demands …
