Public Interest Lawyering In Japan Under Globalization, Shinichi Sugiyama Jan 2018

Public Interest Lawyering In Japan Under Globalization, Shinichi Sugiyama

UC Law SF International Law Review

Globalization came to the Japanese legal community as a form of legal reform early in the millennium. The reform has impacted not only business lawyering, but also public interest lawyering, which aims at access to justice (see Parts I and II). The growing national budget has improved legal services for the underrepresented (see Part III). The increasing number of Japanese lawyers has brought improvement in access to justice to thinly populated areas. More attorneys seek careers as in-house lawyers in business or public interest organizations such as the United Nations (see Parts IV, V). The negative effects of public interest …

Sanctuary Networks As Integrative Enforcement, Ming Hsu Chen Jan 2018

Sanctuary Networks As Integrative Enforcement, Ming Hsu Chen

Faculty Scholarship

intended focus is on the widespread response—in cities, churches, campuses, and corporations that together comprise “sanctuary networks”1—to the Trump Administration’s Executive Order 13768 Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States2 as an instance of the changing relationship between federal, local, and private organizations in the regulation of immigration. After briefly covering the legal background of the Trump Interior E.O., the focus of the Article shifts to the institutional dynamics arising in communities. These institutional dynamics exemplify the beginnings of a reimagi cement policy with a more integrative flavor.

Deepening Lawyer Role Education To Serve Students And Society, Deborah Weimer Jul 2017

Deepening Lawyer Role Education To Serve Students And Society, Deborah Weimer

UC Law SF International Law Review

The last decade has seen an increase in focus on the plight of the unrepresented, as well as a recognition that these needs are growing dramatically. In 2006, the American Bar Association formally adopted a resolution calling for the provision of counsel to low income individuals in cases involving shelter, sustenance, safety, health and child custody. The ABA recognized the social costs in each of these areas when counsel is not available.

The Future Of Transnational Self-Regulation – Enforcement And Compliance In Professional Services, Panagiotis Delimatsis Jan 2017

The Future Of Transnational Self-Regulation – Enforcement And Compliance In Professional Services, Panagiotis Delimatsis

UC Law SF International Law Review

The increased expansion of economic activity beyond national borders leads to a shift of regulatory power. Public authorities concede power, explicitly or tacitly, to private bodies, whereas the multilayered ecology of global governance inevitably increases the role of transnational institutional structures. This article examines such developments in the area of professional services. It starts by analyzing the self -regulation phenomenon in professional services and points to examples where professional associations accentuate their unique nature t o justify the importance of nonintervention in their internal affairs. Powerful professional associations have been thereby created, which, depending on the services subsector (e.g., legal, …

Medical Marijuana And Child Custody: The Need To Protect Patients And Their Families From Discrimination, Alice Kwak

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

This note addresses parents who stand to lose child custody due to discrimination against the parent’s status as a medical marijuana patient or provider for their children. Parents may be forced to choose between marijuana to alleviate health problems and the retention of custody of their children; in some cases, parents are being forced to choose between living with chronic, debilitating pain and potentially facing a child custody battle or loss of a child to the foster care system.

Discovering Forensic Fraud, Jennifer D. Oliva, Valena E. Beety Jan 2017

Discovering Forensic Fraud, Jennifer D. Oliva, Valena E. Beety

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay posits that certain structural dynamics, which dominate criminal proceedings, significantly contribute to the admissibility of faulty forensic science in criminal trials. The authors believe that these dynamics are more insidious than questionable individual prosecutorial or judicial behavior in this context. Not only are judges likely to be former prosecutors, prosecutors are “repeat players” in criminal litigation and, as such, routinely support reduced pretrial protections for defendants. Therefore, we argue that the significant discrepancies between the civil and criminal pretrial discovery and disclosure rules warrant additional scrutiny. In the criminal system, the near absence of any pretrial discovery means …
