Fighting Conflicts Of Interest In Officialdom: Constitutional And Practical Guidelines For State Financial Disclosure Laws, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This note will examine the individual interests in running for office and in personal financial privacy in order to determine what level of scrutiny should be applied to disclosure statutes. After concluding that only minimal scrutiny should apply--a standard certainly met by the state's strong interests--it will be argued that nonconstitutional considerations bearing on the practicality of disclosure statutes nevertheless require a careful balancing of the state interest in disclosure against the individual interests of each class of persons affected by the statutes. The discussion of the strength of the state's interest in disclosure with respect to each class will …

Teaching Professional Ethics, Tom C. Clark

San Diego Law Review

Unless the bar is uniformly imbued with that spirit of honesty and decency and unless it is inspired to insist upon the exercise of the highest ideals in the day-to-day practice of law, then no disciplinary system can be effective and no code of professional conduct will be anything more than a hypocritical farce. How can such an ethical renaissance take place? That, to be sure, is the question and to my mind there is but one possible answer. It must begin in the law schools of this country and spread from there — through continuing legal education programs and …

Is The Bar Meeting Its Ethical Responsibilities?, John V. Tunney

San Diego Law Review

Our society depends to a large extent on lawyers to assure all citizens the protection and advantages of the law. The legal profession itself ? through its largest national organization, the American Bar Association, and through most state bars which adopt or enforce disciplinary rules for lawyers ? has chosen, in the canons quoted above, to impose on itself the ethical responsibility of making competent legal services available to all those who need them. Society has accepted the profession's position, and has subjected the ethical conduct of lawyers to little government interference or supervision.

Canon 2 - The Bright And Dark Face Of The Legal Profession, Alex Elson

San Diego Law Review

The focus of this Article is on the disciplinary rules which, though intended to implement Canon 2, in fact foreclose lawyers from ethically participating in plans designed to extend legal services to many Americans who otherwise would go without a lawyer.

Watergate And The Law Schools, Donald T. Weckstein

San Diego Law Review

The misdeeds of the Watergate lawyers involve more than image tarnishing. A large number of the showcase successes for the profession have acted unethically, dishonestly, corruptly and criminally. But out of the debris of these fallen idols an opportunity for professional reform, more favorable than perhaps at any other time in our history, has arisen.

One Man's Perspective On Ethics And The Legal Profession, William Pincus

San Diego Law Review

The present system of educating and qualifying lawyers is questionable on ethical grounds because it holds out that it is preparing lawyers to serve clients when it does not do so. Limited to classroom and library in law school and to written exercises on Bar examinations, our educational and qualification process ignores the necessary transition from learning theory and doctrine to putting these into practice with a client. The present systems leaves untouched the largest part of the professional development of the lawyer, satisfied as it is with achievement in intellectual analysis and unconcerned as it has been with professional …

Ethical Problems In Connection With The Delivery Of Legal Services, Walter P. Armstrong Jr.

San Diego Law Review

When the Code of Professional Responsibility was presented to the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association at its 1969 annual meeting by the Special Committee on the Evaluation of Ethical Standards, the only exception taken to any of its provisions was to that dealing with cooperation by a lawyer with an organization engaged in facilitating the delivery of legal services to the public. The Code, as drafted by the Committee, and as ultimately adopted at that time by the House of Delegates, provides that "a lawyer shall not knowingly assist a person or organization that recommends, furnishes or …

Disquisition On The Need For A New Model For Criminal Sanctioning Systems, M. Kay Harris

West Virginia Law Review

The time is ripe for a major restructuring of our criminal sanctioning systems. Pressures for change are arising from many sources. As crime rates continue to rise and public fear of crime grows apace, thoughtful persons from many walks of life are more strongly articulating the need to find a different method of dealing with those convicted of violating the criminal law. The criminal prosecutions and dispositions arising from Watergate and related cases have brought many of the issues of unequal justice into the thoughts of American citizens. Proposals for criminal and penal code revision await action in legislatures throughout …
