The Future Of Legal Services: Legal And Ethical Implications Of The Lsc Restrictions - Address: The Future Of Legal Services, Alexander D. Forger Jan 1998

The Future Of Legal Services: Legal And Ethical Implications Of The Lsc Restrictions - Address: The Future Of Legal Services, Alexander D. Forger

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This address focuses on what is the future of legal services? There will always be the ability to provide legal services for many of those in need. We are never going to reach all eligible clients or resolve all their problems. But it is essential to keep pressure on the federal government to play its essential role. How can it walk away from all of the mandates in our fundamental documents and leave it to charity to assume access to justice? There could be no more nobler cause with which to be associated, and no more dedicated and heroic figures …

The Future Of Legal Services: Legal And Ethical Implications Of The Lsc Restrictions - Constitutional Issues Panel, Matthew Diller

Fordham Urban Law Journal

There have been three lawsuits brought that deal with these constitutional issues, two challenges to the Regulations and one opposition to a motion to withdraw, which was the VarshavskyI case that Valerie Bogart talked about. The decision in the Varshavsky case is outside.

And then, still pending is a decision on a preliminary injunction motion in a case called Velasquez,3 which was brought in the Eastern District of New York. Here to address …

Opening Address For The Seventh Annual Stein Center Symposium On Contemporary Urban Challenges, Peter Edelman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article is a published version of the opening address of Peter Edelman at the Seventh Annual Stein Center Symposium on Contemporary Urban Challenges, which identifies the challenges in lawyering to the poor and proposes approaches for lawyers to reduce poverty.

Lawyering For Poor Communities In The Twenty-First Century, Matthew Diller Jan 1998

Lawyering For Poor Communities In The Twenty-First Century, Matthew Diller

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Symposium focuses on a renewed focus on community lawyering. Finding new ways to work with and engage poor communities is among the most important pieces of any new agenda for poverty law. By focusing on the goal of building community institutions and organizations, poverty lawyers can help poor communities in a number of vital ways. First, they can help communities create structures for the provision of services that government has failed to provide. Thus, poverty lawyers can provide much needed legal representation in the establishment of community-based housing, health care, day care and other programs that meet vital needs. …

European Economic And Monetary Union: Will The Emu Ever Fly The Euro: A New Single Currency For Europe: Legal Framework, Roger J. Goebel Jan 1998

European Economic And Monetary Union: Will The Emu Ever Fly The Euro: A New Single Currency For Europe: Legal Framework, Roger J. Goebel

Faculty Scholarship

The title of this article represents a pun, but a pun with a point that responds to the tensions between these dreams of EMU's success and fears of its failure. The emu is a large Australian bird, but, like the better-known ostrich, the emu does not fly. However, it can run very fast. The point is, that during the early stages of planning for the EMU there were some very high-flying aspirations for what it might attain, and what its attainment might mean for the political future of the European Union. Since then, these aspirations have been considerably chilled by …

Transparency- Not Just A Vogue Word, Bo Vesterdorf Jan 1998

Transparency- Not Just A Vogue Word, Bo Vesterdorf

Fordham International Law Journal

I therefore intend to focus my attention on transparency issues as they relate to the decision-making process and leave out those issues relating to the legislative process. Moreover, I shall restrict myself to examining a few selected issues concerning the topic and shall base my examination principally on some of the more recent judgments of the Court of First Instance and the Court of Justice of the European Communities (together, “Community Courts”).

The Amsterdam Treaty: Overview And Institutional Aspects, Jean-Claude Piris, Giorgio Maganza Jan 1998

The Amsterdam Treaty: Overview And Institutional Aspects, Jean-Claude Piris, Giorgio Maganza

Fordham International Law Journal

The overall picture presented by the media regarding the two day and two night Amsterdam meeting of the Heads of State and Government in June 1997 was largely negative. The main reason for the negativity was that the Intergovernmental Conference (“IGC”), by failing to agree on Treaty amendments concerning the size of the Commission and the weighting system for qualified majority voting in the Council, supposedly could not produce satisfactory responses as to the need to reform the institutions of the European Union with a view to its next enlargement. Is this picture justified in light of the actual outcome …

Learning From The Unpleasant Truths Of Interfaith Conversations: William Stringfellow's Lessons For The Jewish Lawyer, Russell G. Pearce Jan 1998

Learning From The Unpleasant Truths Of Interfaith Conversations: William Stringfellow's Lessons For The Jewish Lawyer, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

As the religious lawyering movement expands, so too will the opportunities for interfaith conversations about lawyering. At the level of superficial pleasantries, these conversations will probably add warm feelings of camraderie but little else. When they advance to deeper levels of intellectual and emotional connection, they offer the potential for developing close friendships, learning significant new insights, and discovering hurtful differences. Only by risking the pain of such conversations can we gain the full benefit of interfaith conversation for enriching our "zest for spiritual living." This essay will employ the writings of William Stringfellow, a Christian lawyer and theologian, to …

The Impact Of Partnership Law On The Legal Profession, Robert W. Hillman Jan 1998

The Impact Of Partnership Law On The Legal Profession, Robert W. Hillman

Fordham Law Review

Increasingly, private practice is group practice. The law firm is the principal vehicle through which lawyers associate, pool their professional and financial capital, and participate in the highly competetive market for legal services. The associational form of choice for the organization of the group into the firm is the partnership. Partnership law, in turn, defines the relationships among the principal participants within the firm. This article explores how the regulation of those relationships has shaped the legal profesion and the practice of law.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article compares the practice of law in 1997 to the practice of law of the past. This article emphasizes the need, now more than ever, for monitoring the costs of legal services and for avoiding litigation. In this context, it is essential to delineate the responsibility of inside counsel and outside counsel and for each to have a close working relationship, where indicated, with the client-manager.

The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham Jan 1997

The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham

Fordham International Law Journal

The focus in this Essay is on the regulations which have been adopted in the various states within the United States to recognize lawyers licensed in other countries. As the financial and commercial markets move beyond national boundaries to become global markets, lawyers practicing in the United States will increasingly be called upon to analyze and understand international law and the laws of countries outside the United States. Adopting regulations allowing foreign legal consultants to practice law will permit US lawyers to better serve their current clients. In addition, US lawyers will more easily obtain access to markets for legal …

The Effects Of Telecommunications On Business, Richard Susskind Jan 1997

The Effects Of Telecommunications On Business, Richard Susskind

Fordham International Law Journal

Speech given at Session 2: World Communication: Where is Technology Leading Us? In many ways it does not make much sense if, say, you are setting up a business to go to one source for your legal guidance, another source for your accounting guidance, and another source for your financial advice. It will all come together, and lawyers may indeed be the people who bring that together into multidisciplinary services, bringing together the information that people require in their real-world circumstances. We will no longer package or present our guidance in the traditional legal categories, but we will aim them …
