The Work-Product Doctrine: Protection, Not Privilege, Sherman L. Cohn

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Although the work-product doctrine has received considerable attention before the courts in recent years, several issues regarding the scope and applicability of the doctrine remain controversial As a prelude to explaining the state of the law on these issues, the author examines the case law through which the doctrine developed and explores the doctrine's modern application through rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Finally, Professor Cohn explains how the rule's protection may be waived and discusses the …


Compensation Formulas For Court Awarded Attorney Fees, Marshall J. Breger Jan 1984

Compensation Formulas For Court Awarded Attorney Fees, Marshall J. Breger

Scholarly Articles

This article will first analyze different approaches to compensation rates in light of various theories of attorney fees. Second, it will review the case law developing the compensation formulas for court awarded fees and will consider the legislative history of statutory fee shifting. Finally, it will explore the meaning of the prevailing market rate formula and will show that courts using such a formula commonly misapply market rate analysis and fail to appreciate the need for a determination of reasonableness. While encouragement of litigation through fee shifting is a policy articulated in present statutes, awards based on the conventional (yet, …

The Moral Responsibility Of Law Schools, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1984

The Moral Responsibility Of Law Schools, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

The subject I have been asked to address, the moral responsibility of-law schools, is perplexing, less because answers to the implicit question are uncertain than because the meaning of the question is unclear. Our ideas about moral responsibility have been formed in reference to individuals. They presuppose the existence of distinctively human characteristics such as understanding and will. What, then, can be meant by the moral responsibility of "law schools," institutions that, just because they are not human, necessarily lack these capacities?

The Virginia Bar, 1870-1900, William Hamilton Bryson Jan 1984

The Virginia Bar, 1870-1900, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

An essay on the Virginia bar from 1870 to 1900 rnust begin with a definition of a Virginia attorney-at-law. In 1870 and for the next twenty-five years, a Virginia lawyer was "any person" over the age of twenty-one of "honest demeanor" who had been examined for fitness and licensed to practice law by any two judges of Virginia courts of record. Having been licensed, each attorney must have then "qualified" to practice in each court in which he wished to appear. This was done by swearing in that court to demean himself honestly in the practice of law and to …

Inadvertent Disclosure Of Documents Subject To Attorney-Client Privilege, Michigan Law Review Dec 1983

Inadvertent Disclosure Of Documents Subject To Attorney-Client Privilege, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note evaluates these judicial approaches to inadvertent disclosure in the context of document productions. Part I briefly reviews the purposes of the attorney-client privilege and argues that any test of waiver should be based on the client's intent to maintain confidentiality. Part II examines the traditional approach to waiver and rejects the rationales which support it. Part III concludes that a test based on the sufficiency of precautions taken against disclosure, rather than a test based on the intervention of an outside force, best reflects a client's intent. Part IV examines various factors that might be included in the …

Soliciting Sophisticates: A Modest Proposal For Attorney Solicitation, Victor P. Filippini Jr. Apr 1983

Soliciting Sophisticates: A Modest Proposal For Attorney Solicitation, Victor P. Filippini Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note advocates an amendment to the ethical standards governing attorneys that will permit the personal solicitation for pecuniary gain of sophisticated prospective clients - that is, those persons having general knowledge of their legal needs and the expertise to assess adequately the information and presentation of an attorney. Part I of this Note shows that lawyer solicitation is a form of commercial speech under recent Supreme Court decisions. It also asserts that, though the traditional reasons for banning lawyer solicitation still have some validity, these reasons do not justify prohibiting the solicitation of sophisticated clients. Part II suggests some …


Ethics Inside The Law Firm: Do It My Way Or You're Fired, L. Harold Levinson Apr 1983

Ethics Inside The Law Firm: Do It My Way Or You're Fired, L. Harold Levinson

Vanderbilt Law Review

Part I of this Book Review examines the two business management models -- the autocratic and the "good" -- that Ewing discusses in his book and concludes that the "good" management model serves well as the basis for the law firm management theory that this Book Review proposes. Part II outlines the provisions of the Model Rules that are relevant to law firm management. Part III introduces this reviewer's theory of the fiduciary duties of law firm partners and their associates. Part IV gives a hypothetical example of two law firm associates who face a series of dilemmas when a …

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 …
