The Constitutionality Of Restrictions On Poverty Law Firms: A New York Case Study., Michael Botein Jan 1971

The Constitutionality Of Restrictions On Poverty Law Firms: A New York Case Study., Michael Botein

Articles & Chapters

Government-funded poverty law firms are presently providing essential legal services to poor people throughout the country. These firms have met with varying responses from the bar and the courts. In this article, Professor Botein examines the response of New York's Appellate Division, First Department-a comprehensive set of regulations governing the practice of law by poverty law firms. After analyzing these regulations and the constitutional issues they raise, the author concludes that both procedurally and substantively there is strong doubt concerning their validity.


Student Practice-Limited Appearances In Court By Third Year Law Students Jan 1971

Student Practice-Limited Appearances In Court By Third Year Law Students

University of Richmond Law Review

The practice of law as it is known to our legal system has been a closely guarded institution since its development in England during the Middle Ages. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the legal profession became organized and obtained the monopoly of legal work it still enjoys today. Even before the end of the thirteenth century, it was generally recognized that although a litigant could personally appear and argue in his own behalf, the party represented by a lawyer, who was an expert in the law and its language, would have a decided advantage over his opponent.


Evidence--Privileged Communications--The Attorney-Client Privilege In The Corporate Setting: A Suggested Approach, Michigan Law Review Dec 1970

Evidence--Privileged Communications--The Attorney-Client Privilege In The Corporate Setting: A Suggested Approach, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will first review the development of the personal attorney-client privilege and the extent to which the term "client" has been expanded for use with that privilege. Then, the development of the corporate attorney-client privilege will be examined with an eye toward isolating the tests that the courts have used to define the extent of the term "client." Finally, with the results of these examinations in mind, an approach will be suggested that, if adopted by the courts, could effectively eliminate the confusion that presently exists with regard to the scope of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate setting.

Attorney-Client Privilege—Contempt: The Dilemma Of Non-Disclosure Of Possibly Privileged Information.—Dike V. Dike, 75 Wash. Dec. 2d 1, 448 P.2d 490 (1968), Anon Mar 1970

Attorney-Client Privilege—Contempt: The Dilemma Of Non-Disclosure Of Possibly Privileged Information.—Dike V. Dike, 75 Wash. Dec. 2d 1, 448 P.2d 490 (1968), Anon

Washington Law Review

A recent Washington case examines the attorney's dilemma. In Dike v. Dike, the Washington Supreme Court reviewed a summary contempt conviction imposed upon an attorney for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of his client, the defendant in a pending divorce action. The client had removed her daughter from the temporary court-awarded custody of a third party, and would not return the child. Having failed to answer a motion to hold his client in contempt for violating the custody order, the attorney was directed to appear, and either produce the defendant or show cause why he could not produce her. The …

Lawyer Supply And Demand In Kentucky Over The Next Decade, Alvin L. Goldman Jan 1970

Lawyer Supply And Demand In Kentucky Over The Next Decade, Alvin L. Goldman

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Projecting future needs is a painstaking and hazardous affair. Avoiding such pain, however, is even more hazardous. There is good reason to attempt to project the next decade's need for, and potential supply of, new lawyers in Kentucky. Adequate legal services are an important ingredient in orderly economic growth and an essential element in preserving a free society. On the other hand, an over-abundance of lawyers can depress the economics of the profession to the point at which its ability to sustain desired standards of ethical conduct and to attract a high caliber of new talent are both threatened. Moreover, …

Trade Association Offering Legal Services - A Possibility For Small Corporations, Robert R. Hussey Jan 1969

Trade Association Offering Legal Services - A Possibility For Small Corporations, Robert R. Hussey

Cleveland State Law Review

Small corporations generally belong to a trade association which allows them to increase their proficiency in and knowledge of their industry. As a possible solution to the problem of increasing legal service requirements this paper investigates the suitability of allowing these trade associations to provide legal services to member corporations.


Labor Union Group Legal Service For Members, Eugene Green Jan 1969

Labor Union Group Legal Service For Members, Eugene Green

Cleveland State Law Review

The right of associations to provide their members with legal services appears to be as broad as the freedom of assembly and discussion protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. These freedoms "are not confined to any field of human interest" and are of the same dimension in matters of local or national interest.


Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger Jan 1969

Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger

Cleveland State Law Review

United Mine Workers of America, District 12 v. Illinois State Bar Association, is one of the latest in a line of holdings which have demonstrated that areas heretofore considered by the Bar as sacrosanct unto itself or the state courts are not immune from re-evaluation. That decision, rendered on December 5, 1967, was not unexpected in the light of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in NAACP v. Button, and Railroad Trainmen v. Virginia Bar Association, and the process is likely to continue.


Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell Jan 1969

Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell

Cleveland State Law Review

If group legal services are to pervade the field of patent law, and in view of the UMW case and the activities of the unregistered patent practitioners, that I suspect is imminent, the most stringent safeguards should be specifically set forth, including the following: specific approvaland regulation by the Patent Office of the group, its modus operandi,and the patent practitioners participation; and stringent restrictions by the Patent Office of the groups' advertising and promotional activities, both written and outside the group. The Patent Office now has statutory authority to regulate registered practitioners, and some regulation could be accomplished in this …


The "Estate Planning" Counselor And Values Destroyed By Death, Thomas L. Shaffer Jan 1969

The "Estate Planning" Counselor And Values Destroyed By Death, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Most lawyers would like to know more about how clients feel in law-office encounters with death, property, and giving. The immediate source of experience and information should be psychology-research psychology as well as therapeutic psychology. However, psychology has not concerned itself with the substance of the law; what is usually called "law and psychology" as an interdisciplinary area of study is confined to border areas-insanity as a criminal defense, testamentary capacity, civil commitment to mental institutions. The task of developing psychological models which reach the substance of law itself, and the dynamics of lawyer-client relationships, is one psychologists have not …


Elliott E. Cheatham: His Contributions To A Developing Sense Of Professional Responsibility, Robert E. Mathews Dec 1968

Elliott E. Cheatham: His Contributions To A Developing Sense Of Professional Responsibility, Robert E. Mathews

Vanderbilt Law Review

It may not, after all, be difficult to be a nunc pro tunc prophet, but it takes real imagination to think of it. Hindsight is quite another matter; all of us are constantly explaining how a better decision years ago would have made for a happier world today. But to think in 1947 of assuming oneself to have been prophesying in 1897 as to what would be the state of affairs fifty years thence reveals an imaginative gift of some magnitude. Not only does it offer a sure-fire guaranty of accuracy of prediction, but also it dramatizes the fallibility of …
