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 …

The Clinical Law Experiment: Goals, Methods, And Problems, Steven D. Pepe Jan 1976

The Clinical Law Experiment: Goals, Methods, And Problems, Steven D. Pepe

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

In the fall 1975 Law Quadrangle Notes, the first of this series of articles gave an overview of the history and operation of the fieldwork and seminar components of Michigan's Clinical Law I course. This second article on the clinical law experiment will sketch some of the goals of Michigan's clinic, its educational method, and various problems and shortcomings. A future article will describe a special project in the 1974-75 academic year to use the clinical setting more effectively to confront issues of legal ethics and professional responsibility.


The Emerging Right Of Legal Assistance For The Indigent In Civil Proceedings, Jeffrey M. Mandell Jan 1976

The Emerging Right Of Legal Assistance For The Indigent In Civil Proceedings, Jeffrey M. Mandell

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

After the Supreme Court declared in Gideon v. Wainwright that indigents have a constitutional right to appointed counsel in criminal cases, attention turned to the possibility that a similar right could be found for civil litigants. Although there is no explicit constitutional guarantee of counsel for the civil litigant, the due process clause, which protects property rights as well as personal freedoms, arguably mandates that there be a right to professional representation of all citizens in all courts. The inability of most laymen to effectively present even a rudimentary case on their own behalf indicates that without counsel a meaningful …

Third-Year Practice Rules In Virginia: Notes For The Practitioner, George K. Walker

University of Richmond Law Review

It is pleasing to know that all courts sitting in Virginia have provided for student participation in the processing of cases. Within the boundaries of the Commonwealth, there is a uniform recognition of the need and appropriateness of judicial cooperation in the process of educating young men and women in the law.

Is The Bar Meeting Its Ethical Responsibilities?, John V. Tunney Mar 1975

Is The Bar Meeting Its Ethical Responsibilities?, John V. Tunney

San Diego Law Review

Our society depends to a large extent on lawyers to assure all citizens the protection and advantages of the law. The legal profession itself ? through its largest national organization, the American Bar Association, and through most state bars which adopt or enforce disciplinary rules for lawyers ? has chosen, in the canons quoted above, to impose on itself the ethical responsibility of making competent legal services available to all those who need them. Society has accepted the profession's position, and has subjected the ethical conduct of lawyers to little government interference or supervision.


Teaching Professional Ethics, Tom C. Clark Mar 1975

Teaching Professional Ethics, Tom C. Clark

San Diego Law Review

Unless the bar is uniformly imbued with that spirit of honesty and decency and unless it is inspired to insist upon the exercise of the highest ideals in the day-to-day practice of law, then no disciplinary system can be effective and no code of professional conduct will be anything more than a hypocritical farce. How can such an ethical renaissance take place? That, to be sure, is the question and to my mind there is but one possible answer. It must begin in the law schools of this country and spread from there — through continuing legal education programs and …


Watergate And The Law Schools, Donald T. Weckstein Mar 1975

Watergate And The Law Schools, Donald T. Weckstein

San Diego Law Review

The misdeeds of the Watergate lawyers involve more than image tarnishing. A large number of the showcase successes for the profession have acted unethically, dishonestly, corruptly and criminally. But out of the debris of these fallen idols an opportunity for professional reform, more favorable than perhaps at any other time in our history, has arisen.


One Man's Perspective On Ethics And The Legal Profession, William Pincus Mar 1975

One Man's Perspective On Ethics And The Legal Profession, William Pincus

San Diego Law Review

The present system of educating and qualifying lawyers is questionable on ethical grounds because it holds out that it is preparing lawyers to serve clients when it does not do so. Limited to classroom and library in law school and to written exercises on Bar examinations, our educational and qualification process ignores the necessary transition from learning theory and doctrine to putting these into practice with a client. The present systems leaves untouched the largest part of the professional development of the lawyer, satisfied as it is with achievement in intellectual analysis and unconcerned as it has been with professional …


Canon 2 - The Bright And Dark Face Of The Legal Profession, Alex Elson Mar 1975

Canon 2 - The Bright And Dark Face Of The Legal Profession, Alex Elson

San Diego Law Review

The focus of this Article is on the disciplinary rules which, though intended to implement Canon 2, in fact foreclose lawyers from ethically participating in plans designed to extend legal services to many Americans who otherwise would go without a lawyer.


Ethical Problems In Connection With The Delivery Of Legal Services, Walter P. Armstrong Jr. Mar 1975

Ethical Problems In Connection With The Delivery Of Legal Services, Walter P. Armstrong Jr.

San Diego Law Review

When the Code of Professional Responsibility was presented to the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association at its 1969 annual meeting by the Special Committee on the Evaluation of Ethical Standards, the only exception taken to any of its provisions was to that dealing with cooperation by a lawyer with an organization engaged in facilitating the delivery of legal services to the public. The Code, as drafted by the Committee, and as ultimately adopted at that time by the House of Delegates, provides that "a lawyer shall not knowingly assist a person or organization that recommends, furnishes or …
