Universities, Law Schools, Communities: Learning Or Service Or Learning And Service?, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

This article addresses the roles of universities and law schools and their changing roles in society. While many universities and law schools are assuming leadership roles in national and even global communities, the new challenge is their responsibility to the communities they reside in.

Public Assistance: Congress And The Employable Mother, James J. Graham

University of Richmond Law Review

The recent inauguration of a new Chief Executive in Washington, who has already indicated some willingness to try bold solutions to the twin problems of welfare and poverty,' may help create a more realistic political climate for liberals and conservatives. Both groups may be less eager to attribute spiraling increases in the "family" relief categories to personal delinquencies rather than economic circumstances.

Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell

Cleveland State Law Review

If group legal services are to pervade the field of patent law, and in view of the UMW case and the activities of the unregistered patent practitioners, that I suspect is imminent, the most stringent safeguards should be specifically set forth, including the following: specific approvaland regulation by the Patent Office of the group, its modus operandi,and the patent practitioners participation; and stringent restrictions by the Patent Office of the groups' advertising and promotional activities, both written and outside the group. The Patent Office now has statutory authority to regulate registered practitioners, and some regulation could be accomplished in this …

Wage Garnishment Should Be Prohibited, William T. Kerr

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Historically, the statutory treatment of wage garnishment among the states has been characterized primarily by its diversity. Although most states exempt a specified amount of a man's wage from the reach of his creditors, the dollar levels of these exemptions are as various as the methods chosen to compute the amount to be exempted. In addition, legislators, some union spokesmen and some legal commentators have become increasingly aware of the role of wage garnishment in the "debtor-spiral" of easy credit, discharge from employment, bankruptcy and welfare. Inevitably this spiral involves a disproportionate impact on the poor. Impelled by these concerned …

The "Estate Planning" Counselor And Values Destroyed By Death, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Most lawyers would like to know more about how clients feel in law-office encounters with death, property, and giving. The immediate source of experience and information should be psychology-research psychology as well as therapeutic psychology. However, psychology has not concerned itself with the substance of the law; what is usually called "law and psychology" as an interdisciplinary area of study is confined to border areas-insanity as a criminal defense, testamentary capacity, civil commitment to mental institutions. The task of developing psychological models which reach the substance of law itself, and the dynamics of lawyer-client relationships, is one psychologists have not …

Lay Advocacy And "Legal Services To Youth": Summaries On The Use Of Para-Legal Aides, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

This article discusses the incredibly effective use of legal assistants in the project implemented to assist poor urban youth with legal issues—Legal Services to Youth sponsored by the University of Chicago Law School's Center for Studies in Criminal Justice, under a Ford Foundation grant, was directed to a specialized consumer group, boys under 17 and girls under 18, the jurisdictional age ceiling in the Cook County, Illinois Juvenile Court. Legal assistants were recruited in the area served, and an attempt was made to locate persons who were by background and experience likely to be sympathetic to youth "in trouble." The …

Representation For The Poor In Federal Rulemaking, Arthur Earl Bonfield

Michigan Law Review

The ample personal economic resources and relatively well-financed organizations of middle and upper income Americans usually assure their particular interests adequate representation in federal administrative rulemaking. The norm is that middle and upper income individuals, or their personal or organizational representatives, directly or indirectly monitor all agency activities. These persons attempt to protect their interests through formal or informal participation in rulemaking affecting them. But federal rulemaking very frequently affects large numbers of individuals who lack the personal economic resources and organized associations of middle and upper income Americans. These economically underprivileged persons are usually unable to keep themselves adequately …

The Regulation And Administration Of The Welfare Hearing Process – The Need For Administrative Responsibility, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years, the concept of public welfare has undergone substantial conceptual changes, the primary being a shift from the older concept of gratuity to one of statutory entitlement pursuant to the Social Security Act. This paper seeks to examine and analyze the administrative "fair hearing" as a means of effective regulation of administrative discretion and enforcement of the entitlement provisions of the federal act. Primary emphasis is placed on a comparative treatment of state hearing procedures and federal hearing regulations to determine whether the fair hearing is, at present, a viable means of insuring due process in welfare administration.

Underground Gas Storage: Economic Needs And A Proposed Statutory Resolution Of Legal Obstacles, Steven Y. Winnick

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Gas storage is necessary to equate the supply and demand for gas in different parts of the United States. Most areas of the country lack sufficient native gas supplies to meet their own demands for consumption, and commercial natural gas produced mainly in the southwest must be shipped to all parts of the country. The primary and most economical means of shipment is by pipelines. But during the winter months pipelines carrying capacity loads are incapable of meeting the demand for gas, especially for residential space heating. Contrariwise, capacity far exceeds demand during the warmer periods. This Article will discuss …

Persuader: Mobilization Of Support, Mary Ann Beattie

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Law reform can be achieved through precedent-setting case law and through legislation. Each is a time-consuming activity with its own stumbling blocks. To establish law through the case method, one must have a fact situation directly on point with the inequity which one is trying to remedy. In many situations the client must be willing to follow through a long process of trial and appeal, instead of settling for a more immediate but incomplete resolution of his problem. The costs of litigation may become an insurmountable problem. Another difficulty with the test case as a vehicle for law reform is …

Consumer Class Actions Under The Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Richard F. Dole Jr.

Duke Law Journal

The Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, presently in force in eight states, makes a private injunctive remedy available to "persons likely to be damaged" by misleading advertising, false disparagement, trade symbol infringement and other deceptive trade practices. This article explores the utility of the Uniform Act to individual consumers, and to groups of consumers. The procedural prerequisites of class actions under both the new and old versions of Rule 23 are considered in detail, and it is concluded that consumer class actions under the Uniform Act can provide an effective remedy for widespread and systematic consumer protection.

Elliott E. Cheatham: His Contributions To A Developing Sense Of Professional Responsibility, Robert E. Mathews

Vanderbilt Law Review

It may not, after all, be difficult to be a nunc pro tunc prophet, but it takes real imagination to think of it. Hindsight is quite another matter; all of us are constantly explaining how a better decision years ago would have made for a happier world today. But to think in 1947 of assuming oneself to have been prophesying in 1897 as to what would be the state of affairs fifty years thence reveals an imaginative gift of some magnitude. Not only does it offer a sure-fire guaranty of accuracy of prediction, but also it dramatizes the fallibility of …
