Recent decisions of the Supreme Court have expanded the duty of the states to provide counsel for defendants in criminal cases. The following statute seeks to set up a workable system of assuring the accused the assistance of counsel early in the proceedings against him and, if necessary, at no cost.

Legal Aid Program For North Dakota, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

Since the summer of 1965, the State Bar Association of North Dakota, through a special subcommittee on Legal Aid and Defense of Indigents and its standing committee on the same subject,1 has been investigating the need for legal aid in North Dakota, possible sources for funds to finance legal aid programs in the state, and possible forms which a program might take to meet the need. As a result of these investigations, a proposal has been prepared by the committee for submission to the Legal Services Program of the Office of Economic Opportunity (headed by Mr. Bamberger), for federal funds …

Washington's Non-Intervention Executor—Starting Point For Probate Simplification, Robert L. Fletcher

Washington Law Review

Professor Fletcher's discussion of the history and philosophy of the non-intervention executorship under the Washington statute is segmented into four parts. The first three extensively inquire into the philosophy and forces which have shaped the present contours of this unusual procedure. During this era the court in construing the statutory basis for the procedure and the legislature in amending it have treated the nonintervention executorship in some respects as part of the regular probate procedure and in others as wholly separate, quite without unifying rationale. Further, the court has developed a concept of jurisdictional immunity of questionable value. In the …

A Revolution In The Law Practice, F. William Mccalpin

Cleveland State Law Review

When I was a boy, there was a popular abbreviated saying, "Comes the revolution," with the usually unsaid, but well understood additive, "Things will be different around here." My suggestion in this writing is that we may well be on the verge of a revolution in the practice of law, and that things may indeed "be different around here" in the practice.

Legal Ethics And The Poverty Program, Kenneth D. Korosec

Cleveland State Law Review

This paper has attempted to reconcile the neighborhood legal services plan with the existing Canons of Professional Ethics.The prime argument is that the plan provides benefits to society, and that the Canons were designed to prevent evils far different from the questions presented by the project. This is the fundamental issue: whether the canons are merely bent, or, in reality, broken. In either event, the canons should not prevent justice for those too poor to pay for a lawyer. The"redeeming social interest" spoken of by the Court in obscenity cases and the "overriding social importance" talked about in social legislation …

The Politics Of Planning For Urban Redevelopment: Strategies In The Manipulation Of Public Law, Sheldon J. Plager, Joel F. Handler

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this article Professors Plager and Handler examine the influence of legal process upon decision making in municipal redevelopment. Their thesis is that public acceptance of a redevelopment venture depends primarily on the command of political and planning skills and occurs despite rather than because of legal procedures designed to accommodate principles of democracy. Partly through the method of a case study of recent data collected from one municipality, partly by comparative analysis with other studies, they conclude that the reality of decision making in the region they explore is the predominance of informal power over formal, democratic, legal decision-making …

A Neighborhood Law Office: The New Haven Project, Charles D. Gill

Cleveland State Law Review

The first new step taken by the New Haven community was the establishment of free legal services for the poor in offices located within poverty stricken neighborhoods. The offices serve all persons residing within a particular geographic area who meet a financial eligibility standard. Our services are available in both civil and criminal matters. The only type of cases specifically excluded are personal injury plaintiff suits, where there is the possibility of a contingent fee arrangement.

Judicial Intervention As A Psychiatric Therapy Tool, Eleanor A. Blackley

Cleveland State Law Review

Commitment to a mental institution by itself does not, in all states, suspend civil rights. The court psychiatric unit is an early outpost of a preventive, coordinative venture which gives, at long last, practical humane expression to protection of and consideration for the civil rights of the mentally ill adult involuntary patient whose condition obstructs his capacity to demand such safeguards himself. Persons suffering from mental disorders are frequently too disabled to claim their civil rights themselves.

Reflections On Professor Chroust's The Rise Of The Legal Profession In America, Donald P. Kommers

Journal Articles

A review of Anton-Herman Chroust’s 1965 study on lawyers and the status of the legal profession in the United States from early colonial days to 1830.

Though the review praises the wealth of facts and detail in the work it argues that Chroust is more interested in glorifying the early American legal profession rather than analyzing the conditions for its growth. It also contends that Chroust does not organize his material according to a coherent theory or conceptual scheme. The review, in addition, asserts that Chroust focuses too much on the pious and self-righteous rhetoric lawyers at the time, assuming …

Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson

Cleveland State Law Review

The young attorney often may have time on his hands. He may be tempted to increase his following by advertising or by soliciting clients, but rules of the bar and statutes against solicitation prevent this. There are, of course, some forms of advertising open to all lawyers. National directories and law lists, such as the Martin dale-Hubbell Law Directory, theoretically published only for lawyers, not only advertise the attorney and his firm, but also list the names of any clients whom he wishes to give as representative of his practice and his specialties.

The Solo Practitioner And The Poverty Program, Howard M. Rossen

Cleveland State Law Review

For economic reasons the young individual general practitioner must accept and handle practically all potential new business. He must expect to get, at first, repetitive legal matters that will constitute a large part of his early practice. And he must learn quickly how to handle a very demanding clientele. He will learn very quickly that solo practice is not the most lucrative type of law practice.

Citizens' Grievances Against Administrative Agencies--The Yugoslav Approach, Walter Gellhorn

Michigan Law Review

Yugoslavia, with a population of nearly twenty million, occupies a territory slightly larger than the United Kingdom. Professedly "communist" in philosophy, increasingly "democratic" in practice, it recognizes that the supposed interests of the State do not preclude attention to individual rights as well. In recent years Yugoslavia, like the United States, has earnestly sought efficient means of examining complaints about public administration. The present article sketches some of the measures that protect citizens against official abuse or mistake.
