The Moral Responsibility Of Law Schools, Terrance Sandalow

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Editors note: This article is an abridged version of the address Dean Sandalow delivered at the plenary session of the 1984 annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools. The full text appears in the June issue of the Journal of Legal Education.

The subject I have been asked to address, the moral responsibility of law schools, is perplexing, less because answers to the implicit question are uncertain than because the meaning of the question itself is unclear. Our ideas about moral responsibility have been formed in reference to individuals. They presuppose the existence of distinctively human characteristics such …

The Canons Of Indian Treaty And Statutory Construction: A Proposal For Codification, Jill De La Hunt

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note argues that the canons of construction should play a central role in the interpretation of Indian treaties and statutes. The Note proposes revitalization of the canons through congressional action codifying the rules of construction into federal law. Part I traces the historical development of the canons to further the federal-Indian trust relationship. Part II analyzes recent Supreme Court decisions that demonstrate decreased use of the canons. Part III argues that strong canons of construction are necessary to the development of self-determining Indian tribes and proposes federal legislation to ensure the continued vitality and importance of the canons of …

The Mythical Meritocracy Of Law School Admissions, James C. Hathaway

Articles

Because more people apply to law schools than can be accepted, the admissions procedure at most faculties has been designed to select the best qualified persons from the applicant pool. Selection criteria are adopted to enable law school administrators to determine fairly and objectively which applicants are most likely to succeed in legal studies. Even with the advent of admissions policies designed to increase opportunities for members of various minority groups to study law, specific admissions decisions within each preferred category are generally made with a view to choosing the candidates judged most able to do well at law school. …

Secondary Legal Sources: A Selected Subject Bibliography Of Treatises, Looseleaf Services And Form Books Fifth Edition, Linda S. Maslow

Law Library Publications

The fifth edition of this bibliography is a subject arrangement of selected English language treatises, looseleaf services and form books. Most of the works listed were published in this country and all are in the collection of this law library.

Our object in revising this bibliography has been to present to the law students of The University of Michigan a reasonably thorough listing of useful and current secondary sources covering domestic and international law. The inclusion of a work in this bibliography does not mean that the Law Library is endorsing either the author's style or the substance of his …

Use And Non-Use Of Contract Law In Japan, Whitmore Gray

Articles

This article first defines the scope of enquiry, then surveys some of the existing literature, and finally, presents the results of my preliminary survey interviews and questionnaire. It is my hope that it will serve as a basis form discussion leading to better definition of the problems for research in this area, and will suggest ways to proceed to gather the information necessary for more sophisticated exposition and commentary.

The Moral Responsibility Of Law Schools, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

The subject I have been asked to address, the moral responsibility of-law schools, is perplexing, less because answers to the implicit question are uncertain than because the meaning of the question is unclear. Our ideas about moral responsibility have been formed in reference to individuals. They presuppose the existence of distinctively human characteristics such as understanding and will. What, then, can be meant by the moral responsibility of "law schools," institutions that, just because they are not human, necessarily lack these capacities?

Inadvertent Disclosure Of Documents Subject To Attorney-Client Privilege, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note evaluates these judicial approaches to inadvertent disclosure in the context of document productions. Part I briefly reviews the purposes of the attorney-client privilege and argues that any test of waiver should be based on the client's intent to maintain confidentiality. Part II examines the traditional approach to waiver and rejects the rationales which support it. Part III concludes that a test based on the sufficiency of precautions taken against disclosure, rather than a test based on the intervention of an outside force, best reflects a client's intent. Part IV examines various factors that might be included in the …

Recognition Of The National Football League As A Single Entity Under Section 1 Of The Sherman Act: Implications Of The Consumer Welfare Model, Myron C. Grauer

Michigan Law Review

This article argues that Justice Rehnquist has analyzed the operational structure of the NFL in a manner that is consistent with proper antitrust enforcement policy, and expands upon the view that he espoused. It contends that the NFL is analogous to a law firm partnership, with the teams analogous to departments or partners that can make operating rules for the firm without fear of violating section 1 of the Sherman Act. In arriving at the opposite conclusion, both the Oakland Raiders and NASL courts relied on several cases involving player restraints that presupposed that teams in professional sports leagues, such …

Class Actions For Punitive Damages, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that a Rule 23 class action offers the best way to manage multiple actions for punitive damages. It begins by examining the policy underlying punitive damages and the plaintiffs interest in recovering them. It then explains why a limited fund is created when courts deny punitive damage recovery as a matter of law or when punitive claims exceed defendant's assets. The Note contends that a Rule 23(b)(l)(B) class action provides the best means to manage this limited fund and reviews the circumstances in which a district court may properly certify a class action for punitive damages. It …

Social Problems And Legal Answers, William T. Coleman Jr.

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Mr. Coleman delivered these remarks on the integration of public service and private practice of law at Law School Senior Day last spring. Mr. Coleman' own career is an eloquent testimonial to his argument that skilled and principled lawyers are uniquely qualified to serve their nation and society...

In his lecture , Mr. Coleman draws on his various experiences to construct an argument for lawyers' vital contribution to many aspects of traditional American life. He urges this year's graduates to consider the particular challenges they will face in fulfilling the lawyer' profesional responsibilities today.
