Cyber-Notaries From A Contemporary Legal Perspective: A Paradox In Indonesian Laws And The Marginal Compromises To Find Equilibrium, David Tan

Indonesia Law Review

Notaries in Indonesia have existed since the colonial period. Changes in technology and the continuous evolution of information bring a flow of change in all aspects of life, including the legal sector. However, the position of notaries in Indonesia has not undergone significant changes despite ongoing advancements. The promulgation of Law No. 2 of 2014 formally introduced the term “cyber notary” to Indonesian law. However, the idea of cyber notary is not practical because of legal obstacles that seem to form a legal paradox. This work analyzes the position of cyber notaries in Indonesia’s positive legal order and the challenges, …

Unlimited Vindication: Choosing Statutes Of Limitations In The Era Of Constrained Personal Jurisdiction, Patricia Youngblood Reyhan

New Mexico Law Review

This Article examines the relationship between personal jurisdiction and choice of law in the context of choosing statutes of limitations to either permit or bar plaintiffs’ claims in cases where the parties or the facts underlying the cause of action are connected with multiple states or nations. During the period of constitutionally-permissible exercises of expansive personal jurisdiction, existing from 1945, when the United States Supreme Court decided International Shoe v. Washington, to the 2010s, states gradually rejected the then-prevalent rule that reflexively chose the limitations law of the forum, whether that law favored the vindication interests of the plaintiff or …

The Community Being Helped Is The Resource That Is Needed, Ab Currie

Canadian Forum on Civil Justice

There is a widespread recognition of the importance of not-for-profit organizations for meeting the access to justice needs of disadvantaged people. Centered within that growing body of literature, this paper points to the importance of community service agencies and voluntary organizations as resources that enable community legal clinics to identify and meet the legal needs and to provide social justice outcomes that would otherwise be beyond their capacity if limited to resources from conventional sources. The resources available from the community are not monetary. They include entrée into hard-to-reach and -serve populations, special knowledge of about the problems experienced by …

What Does The Digital Revolution Mean For Legal Education?, Emma Ziercke, Dirk Hartung, Klaus-Stefan Hohenstatt

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The general consensus amongst legal thought leaders is that legal education needs to be re-designed to, amongst other things, reflect the digital transformation of the legal industry. This opinion exposes the long-standing tension between academic learning and vocational learning in the legal profession. Technology cannot be ignored, but where to begin? What do lawyers actually need to know about technology? To answer this question, we have to understand what it means to “be a lawyer” in the twenty-first century. Technology is multi-dimensional and encompasses lawyers as users of technology, as advisers for new legal issues that stem from the application …

Covid, Crisis And Courts, Anna E. Carpenter, Colleen F. Shanahan, Alyx Mark, Jessica Steinberg

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

Our country is in crisis. The inequality and oppression that lies deep in the roots and is woven in the branches of our lives has been laid bare by a virus. Relentless state violence against Black people has pushed protestors to the streets. We hope that the legislative and executive branches will respond with policy change for those who struggle the most among us: rental assistance, affordable housing, quality public education, comprehensive health and mental health care. We fear that the crisis will fade, and we will return to more of the same. Whatever lies on the other side of …

Black Market Law Firms, Casey E. Faucon

Cardozo Law Review

In business and in competition, value exists in striking first. Accountants, the so-called hawks of the professional world, have made the first move. In September 2017, the global accounting giant PwC opened a law firm in Washington, D.C. called ILC Legal. ILC Legal not only provides legal services on non-domestic matters, but also acts as a multidisciplinary provider (MDP) and offers other professional services, such as tax-planning, business consulting, and marketing, throughout its ninety-country network. In June 2018, Deloitte quickly followed suit, the second of the Big Four accounting firms to enter the U.S. MDP market, partnering with a U.S. …

Incrementalist Vs. Maximalist Reform: Solitary Confinement Case Studies, Margo Schlanger

Northwestern University Law Review

Among criminal justice reformers, it has long been hotly contested whether moderate reform helps or harms more efforts to achieve more thoroughgoing change. With respect to solitary confinement, do partial and ameliorative measures undermine the goal of solitary confinement abolition? Or do reformist campaigns advance—albeit incrementally—that ultimate goal? Call this a debate between “incrementalists” and “maximalists.” I offer this Essay as an appeal for empirical rather than aesthetic inquiry into the question. After summarizing nationwide reform litigation efforts that began in the 1970s, I try to shed some factual light by examining solitary reform efforts in two states, Massachusetts and …

Practising Law For Rich And Poor People: Towards A More Progressive Approach, Allan C. Hutchinson

Articles & Book Chapters

It is 50 years since Stephen Wexler’s essay, Practicing Law for Poor People, was published. By any reasonable measure, this has become and remains an iconic piece. Whether he is agreed with or disagreed with, Wexler arguments continue to define the terms of the debate about the proper role and responsibilities of those who practice law for poor people. Critics and jurists can be for or against Wexler’s account, but they cannot make serious headway without it. As such, Wexler’s essay deserve to be celebrated and showcased as it reaches its half-century milestone. However, his ideas and their informing assumptions …
