Union Group Legal Services: An Experiment In Group Legal Practice, William A. Roberts

Washington Law Review

This article does not discuss the history of, the need for, or the philosophy underlying group legal programs; other literature adequately has explored these topics. Rather, this article is designed to acquaint those interested in group legal programs with the essential considerations in establishing such a program and with the operating procedure and results of the group legal program initiated by Union Group Legal Services.


The Constitutionality Of State Residency Requirements For Admission To The Bar, Michigan Law Review Mar 1973

The Constitutionality Of State Residency Requirements For Admission To The Bar, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

There has been controversy in the lower federal courts concerning durational residency requirements and one recent state court challenge of a simple residency requirement. This Note will discuss the constitutional validity of these requirements in the face of equal protection attacks, concentrating on the extent to which such requirements are justified by the interests of state courts in maintaining the integrity of their legal systems.

The Code Of Professional Responsibility In The Corporate World: An Abdication Of Professional Self-Regulation, Carl A. Pierce Jan 1973

The Code Of Professional Responsibility In The Corporate World: An Abdication Of Professional Self-Regulation, Carl A. Pierce

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The American Bar Association's Code of Professional Responsibility (Code or CPR) provides the foundation for the regulation of the legal profession by the members of the profession themselves. Although the drafters of the CPR have described it as a body of fundamental ethical principles applicable to all lawyers regardless of the nature of their professional activities, this article examines the vitality of the CPR and professional self-regulation in one particular area of lawyers' activities: corporate practice? The article suggests that the legal profession has abdicated its self-regulatory role, discusses the consequences of this abdication, and advances some alternatives to remedy …


Lay Divorce Firms And The Unauthorized Practice Of Law, Arthur R. Miller Jan 1973

Lay Divorce Firms And The Unauthorized Practice Of Law, Arthur R. Miller

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Effective January 1, 1972, Michigan adopted a no-fault divorce law. Since that time, at least two firms in the Detroit area have gone into the business of providing assistance to people wishing to process their own divorces. These enterprises, which have been dubbed divorce firms or divorce kit firms, have come under heavy attack from the organized bar. The State Bar of Michigan has instituted court proceedings against one firm for the unauthorized practice of law, and a court on its own initiative has already issued an injunction against the other. These cases raise two important issues: whether the divorce …

Preventive Law And The Legal Assistant, Louis M. Brown Nov 1971

Preventive Law And The Legal Assistant, Louis M. Brown

Vanderbilt Law Review

An examination of paraprofessionalism may begin with an evaluation of society's need for legal services, a need that is not always obvious,nor indeed even recognized by the general public.' One area in which the provision of legal services to all but the most wealthy clients is notably deficient is that of preventive law. This kind of legal practice seeks to help individuals regulate their activities to avoid legal trouble, in contrast to the litigating aspect of law that comes into play only after a dispute has developed. Since the practice of preventive law requires the use of specialized tools and …


Legal Paraprofessionalism And Its Implications: A Bibliography, Lester Brickman Nov 1971

Legal Paraprofessionalism And Its Implications: A Bibliography, Lester Brickman

Vanderbilt Law Review

If access to legal services is thus essential for the attainment of democratic values, then the efficacy of the legal delivery system is of supreme importance. Much has been written examining the inefficiency of present methods of law practice as a means of conveying services to the consumer,' and still more written decrying the shortage of basic legal services for the poor and for the middle class.' In response to this criticism and as a way of meeting other needs, the profession is trying such new delivery systems as group legal services, prepaid legal insurance, and specialized practice. Additionally, there …


Paralegals: Should The Bar Employ Them?, Theodore Voorhees Nov 1971

Paralegals: Should The Bar Employ Them?, Theodore Voorhees

Vanderbilt Law Review

In its campaigns against trust companies, banks, title companies,real estate agents, and accountants, the bar has loftily rested its unauthorized practice challenges on protection of the public interest by claiming that lay personnel lack the trained legal skills of the lawyer. On the other hand, counsel who have represented the targets of these attacks have maintained that the bar has been largely guided by self-interest arising from concern over the profession's loss of work as the public has tended more and more to accept the services of the lay practitioners...At the root of the problem, the bar's loss of legal …

A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards Aug 1971

A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

It is not really surprising that so much attention has recently been given to the gross disparity in White v. Black participation in the legal profession. Indeed, the question of quality participation by Black lawyers is an irrelevant consideration until there is a real commitment to give Blacks equal access to the formerly all-white legal educational institutions. In examining the nature of this heretofore obvious (but only recently acknowledged) problem of Black underrepresentation within our society? (3) What must be done by the legal profession not only to alleviate the negative impact of such a shortage, but also to enhance …
