Legal Aid--Lay Control And Organizational Complexity Render Oeo Legal Service Program Unacceptable To New York Court--In Re Community Action For Legal Services, Inc., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and the New York City Council Against Poverty approved the organization and the OEO funding of three legal service corporations as part of a comprehensive program to provide legal assistance to New York City's poor. According to the plan, the first corporation, Community Action for Legal Services, Inc. (CALS), was to approve proposed plans for setting up and operating neighborhood law offices with OEO funds and then to supervise and coordinate the agencies that sought to put those plans into operation. These agencies, operating as delegates of CALS, and under subcontracts with it, were …

Supplement--The Class Of 1951, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Communications between the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School and alumni have improved rather dramatically in recent years. The appearance of Law Quadrangle Notes in 1957 was followed in 1960-1961 by the organization of the Law School Fund and in 1962 by the first meeting of the Committee of Visitors. As a result of these and other activities, the faculty and the alumni are better acquainted. But, as is so often true, a little information seems only to generate the need for more.

In order to test the utility of comprehensive information about graduates, former Dean A. F. …

Unauthorized Practice Of Law-Union Program Of Hiring Attorneys Is Unauthorized Practice Of Law--Illinois State Bar Ass'n V. United Mine Workers Of America, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

District 12 of the United Mine Workers (UMW) employed an attorney on a salary basis to prosecute members' claims under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Members were free to employ other counsel, but if they sought help from the union lawyer, the union agreed not to interfere with the attorney-client relationship. The attorney prepared his case from filed reports of the accidents, and, generally, his first contact with the union member was when they appeared before the Commission. Since the attorney was compensated by the union, the entire amount received in award or settlement went to the member. The Illinois Bar …

Attorney-Client-Client's Right To Engage Out-Of-State Attorney For Advice Concerning Federal Claim Is A Privilege And Immunity Of National Citizenship--Spanos V. Skouras Theatre Corp., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The state and federal courts, existing side by side within the boundaries of each state, separately control admission to practice law before their respective bars. Although membership in a state bar is generally a prerequisite for admission to the bar of a federal court, the two systems do function under separate and distinct ground rules, and they appear to have done so with a minimum of friction. However, the principal case is indicative of the problems that may arise when state policy on the right to practice law within the state conflicts with federal policy.

Ann Arbor And Legal Aid, James J. White

Articles

Since the leasing of its office in August 1965, the Washtenaw County Legal Aid Society has been open nearly 50 hours per week and has been staffed exclusively by second and third-year law students from the University of Michigan Law School. The bulk of the practice has been in family law--divorce, support, custody--but there have been a substantial number of creditor-debtor cases, a handful of misdemeanor defense cases, and a large batch of miscellaneous cases.

Attorneys--Self-Incrimination--The Attorney's Privilege Against Self-Incrimination In A Disbarment Proceeding, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A state court has jurisdiction to deal with the alleged misconduct of attorneys practicing before it either explicitly by statute or by ' virtue of its power to control the conduct of its own affairs. Indeed, it can suspend or disbar an attorney who fails to maintain the standard of conduct established for members of the legal profession. One aspect of such a standard is that an attorney is bound not to obstruct the administration of justice, a duty which imposes upon him an affirmative obligation to cooperate with the courts. The question frequently arises whether, in order to satisfy …

Foreword, Frank R. Kennedy

Michigan Law Review

As will be evident by the time this symposium on consumer protection appears in print, not all the proposals that have been made on behalf of the consumer will pass this year; some, perhaps, will never be enacted in anything like their present form. However, both opponents and proponents of this spate of legislative proposals should recognize the timeliness and importance of the discussions presented in this issue of the Michigan Law Review.

Law Graduates Serve In European Common Market; New Interview Rooms To Accommodate Placement Activity, University Of Michigan Law School

The Law School was among the first to become interested in depth in the rapidly growing European Economic Community.

Off-The-Record Consultations And The Revised Model State Administrative Procedure Act, John H. Martin

Michigan Law Review

The drafters of the Revised Act have sought to resolve the confrontation of policy objectives in part by insisting that the decision maker refrain from off-the-record communications with any of the parties to the proceeding. However, there are a number of ambiguities in the act which indicate that it may be possible for state agencies to avoid this objective. Furthermore, implementation of the policy decisions of the drafters may prove to be undesirable for the overall operation of state administrative agencies. This comment will consider these two possible criticisms of the Revised Model Act and will suggest that changes be …

Citizens' Grievances Against Administrative Agencies--The Yugoslav Approach, Walter Gellhorn

Michigan Law Review

Yugoslavia, with a population of nearly twenty million, occupies a territory slightly larger than the United Kingdom. Professedly "communist" in philosophy, increasingly "democratic" in practice, it recognizes that the supposed interests of the State do not preclude attention to individual rights as well. In recent years Yugoslavia, like the United States, has earnestly sought efficient means of examining complaints about public administration. The present article sketches some of the measures that protect citizens against official abuse or mistake.

Has The Court Left The Attorney General Behind? The Bazelon-Katzenbach Letters On Poverty, Equality, And The Administration Of Criminal Justice, Yale Kamisar

Articles

Distribution of the first preliminary draft of the proposed American Law Institute Model Code of Pre-Arraignment Procedure last June touched off a brisk exchange of letters between Chief Judge David Bazelon of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, who maintained that the proposed code left a good deal to be desired, and Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, who, although he did not explicitly treat any provision of the preliminary draft, sharply challenged the conception of equality underlying Bazelon's criticism of it. By now, both the code, and the Bazelon-Katzenbach correspondence which it evoked, are …

Scientific Eclat And Technological Change: Some Implications For Legal Education, George T. Frampton

Michigan Law Review

The law-trained man has frequently been viewed as faced toward the past and preoccupied with precedent, form, words, technicalities, and money. Well might such a man be the fitting product of an educational diet of moldering appellate case opinions taken Socratically with a few crusts of casebook "notes" and classroom lapses into lecture. This is not a man for the season of scientific successes or for a society transformed by technological change.

Judgment Against Insured Is Conclusive Proof Of Amount Of Claim Against Dissolved Insurer- Commonwealth Ex Rel. Woodside V. Seaboard Mut. Cas. Co., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs, injured in an automobile accident, brought suits against an insured taxicab company. Before the case came to trial, the insurance commissioner found the insurer insolvent. In a separate proceeding he obtained a court order dissolving the insurer, enjoining the prosecution of any legal action against the insurer's assets, and providing for the filing of proof of claims with the insurance commissioner. The insurer's attorney, who had entered an appearance on behalf of the taxicab company, withdrew, and in an undefended action the plaintiffs recovered judgments against the cab company totalling nineteen thousand dollars. Unable to obtain execution on these …
