Why Lawyers Should Be Allowed To Advertise: A Market Analysis Of Legal Services , Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr., Russell G. Pearce, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1983

Why Lawyers Should Be Allowed To Advertise: A Market Analysis Of Legal Services , Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr., Russell G. Pearce, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Faculty Scholarship

Last August, the American Bar Association adopted the Model Rules of Professional Conduct which significantly altered the ABA' position on lawyer advertising. It is still unclear how the states will respond to the ABA's new position, and the debate about the propriety of lawyer advertising continue. In the authors' view, both sides of the debate have overlooked an important point: For purposes of analyzing the advertising problem, legal services are of two types, and the effect of advertising on the legal services market will vary with the type of service involved."Individualized" services involve legal matters that pose a significant risk …


Legality, Bureaucracy, And Class In The Welfare System, William H. Simon Jan 1983

Legality, Bureaucracy, And Class In The Welfare System, William H. Simon

Faculty Scholarship

When lawyers confronted the welfare system in the 1960's, they charged it with oppressive moralism, personal manipulation, and invasion of privacy. They focused attention on the "man-in-the-house" rules that disqualified families on the basis of the mother's sexual conduct and the "midnight raids" in which welfare workers forced their way into recipients' homes searching for evidence of cohabitation.

When I represented welfare recipients from 1979 to 1981, the workers showed little interest in policing their morals or intruding on their private lives. The "man-in-the-house" rule and the practice of unannounced or nighttime visits had been repudiated. Yet the pathologies emphasized …

Providing Legal Services For The Poor: A Dilemma And An Opportunity, Robert M. Hardaway, Kay H. Paine, Jane P. Gill

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article serves as a report on the status of pro bono legal services programs in Colorado and the possible options available for attorney participation. It is hoped that this information will assist attorneys in examining their pro bono responsibilities and in seeking creative ways to turn these responsibilities into opportunities. Perhaps as background, the definition of pro bono should first be examined.


Legal Aid For The Poor: A Conceptual Analysis, Marshall J. Breger Jan 1982

Legal Aid For The Poor: A Conceptual Analysis, Marshall J. Breger

Scholarly Articles

In this Article Professor Breger examines the competing justifications that have been advanced for the provision of free legal aid to those who cannot afford to engage a private attorney. Professor Breger argues that every citizen has the right to effective access to the courts to resolve disputes in that they aret he only state-sanctionedd ispute resolution mechanism. Because of the complexity of our legal system, effective access to the courts often requires the services of an attorney. Under this theory of "access rights" a person is entitled to free legal aid when necessary for the enforcement of a legal …

Legal And Medical Education Compared: Is It Time For A Flexner Report On Legal Education, Robert M. Hardaway Jan 1981

Legal And Medical Education Compared: Is It Time For A Flexner Report On Legal Education, Robert M. Hardaway

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this Article is to explore the common elements of legal and medical education and to compare the reform movements in each profession, with a view toward finding an explanation for the widely differing conditions that exist today in the education of each profession. For example, why is it that medical education can provide facilities and training costing up to ten times that provided law students? Why do medical schools receive outside financial support paying up to 95% of the costs of medical education while law schools are supported primarily by tuition and fees? Why do medical students …

An Assessment Of Alternative Strategies For Increasing Access To Legal Services, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1980

An Assessment Of Alternative Strategies For Increasing Access To Legal Services, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

Since the late 1930s, lawyers have argued that their services are not used to the fullest advantage by a large segment of the population. More recently, other concerned groups such as trade unions and consumer organizations also have become convinced that there is an underutilization of lawyers' services, and that it is important to increase access to such services. As a result, attempts have been made to develop alternatives to the traditional methods of providing legal services that to date have proved inadequate in meeting the legal needs of the public. Legal clinics have proliferated, prepaid legal services plans have …

Review Of The Legal Needs Of The Public, , Richard Lempert

Reviews

Both the title, The Legal, Needs of the Public, and the subtitle, The Final, Report of a National, Survey, of this volume are, quite fortunately, inapt. The report does not seek to quantify the legal needs of the public or to determine whether "needs" are being "met," and we are told by both Barbara Curran in her preface and Spencer Kimball in his foreword that this "final report" signifies the beginning and not the end of data analysis. This study (which I shall call the ABF study) is a joint undertaking of the American Bar Association Special Committee to Survey …

Judicial Overload: The Reasons And The Remedies , Maria Marcus Jan 1978

Judicial Overload: The Reasons And The Remedies , Maria Marcus

Faculty Scholarship

Animosity towards lawyers, perennial in our social history long before Watergate, parallels a contradictory and equally persistent belief in judges as problem-solvers for a variety of personal, economic, educational and political ills. An increasing number of litigants are bringing to the courts not only the class of disputes that has been the traditional fare of judicial decision-making, but also an array of issues that were formerly resolved in private meetings, at hospitals, in schools, or at home. The causes of this explosion of lawsuits and the possible buffers to an eventual implosion in our judicial system will be discussed below

Community Legal Workers At Parkdale Community Legal Services October 1977, Katie Mcgovern, Frederick H. Zemans Jan 1977

Community Legal Workers At Parkdale Community Legal Services October 1977, Katie Mcgovern, Frederick H. Zemans

Books

Since its opening in September 1971, Parkdale Community Legal Services has served as both a neighbourhood law office and as Osgoode Hall Law School's first clinical training setting. Law students have been the primary deliverers of legal.services, with a growing number of staff lawyers, articling students, and practitioners supervising the student caseload. But most law students spend only one semester at Parkdale; therefore the staff lawyers and especially the community legal workers must provide continuity within the office and serve as the conduit to the Parkdale community.

240 Men: The Antebellum Lower Federal Judiciary, 1829-1861, Kermit L. Hall Oct 1976

240 Men: The Antebellum Lower Federal Judiciary, 1829-1861, Kermit L. Hall

Vanderbilt Law Review

Between 1829 and 1861 antebellum presidents nominated 200 judges to the federal lower courts. Earlier administrations had appointed another forty jurists who held their positions during part or all of the era. Of these judges, 108 served in the federal district courts, 126 in the territorial courts, five in the Court of Claims, and one in a special circuit court established in 1855 for the northern district of California. The number of appointments available to an administration involved fate and the pace of territorial expansion;thus, during the first eight years of the period, Jackson nominated thirty-two judges, while in the …


Mobilizing Private Law, Richard O. Lempert Jan 1976

Mobilizing Private Law, Richard O. Lempert

Book Chapters

The mobilization of law may be thought of as the process by which legal norms are invoked to regulate behavior. In the area of private law, mobilization has two distinct aspects. The first is the process by which existing disputes become engaged in the legal system. In theory this means that disputes are transferred from an arena where their resolution and the enforcement of resolutions depends on the relative power of the parties as enhanced or constrained by non-governmental normative systems to an arena where disputes are resolved by reference to governmental (legal) norms and resolutions enforced by the power …


National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider Jan 1976

National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider

Faculty Articles

The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974, was signed into law on January 4, 1975, following a lengthy legislative struggle. During the past 11 months, the fighting among private and public health interests has continued, although the principal arena has shifted from the Congress to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which is charged with primary responsibility for implementing the law. While the final outcome of this political conflict is still difficult to foresee, some informed estimates can already be made concerning the implications of this legislation for the poor. This article will not summarize the …
