California's Duty Of Confidentiality: Is It Time For A Life-Threatening Criminal Act Exception?, Kevin E. Mohr

San Diego Law Review

In August 2001, the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association (ABA) voted in favor of a revision to the duty of confidentiality contained in the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, a set of ethics rules that has been adopted in some form by over forty states. Specifically, the House voted to broaden the exception in Model Rule 1.6 that permits a lawyer to reveal confidential information of the client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes

necessary to prevent likely death or substantial bodily harrn.

It is

uncertain whether that vote will have any effect on the …

San Diego International Law Journal

This Article presents an overview of the Codes and relevant Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the ICTY and the ICTR, as well as an analysis of their provisions. The ICTR's Code of Conduct is almost identical to the ICTY's Code of Conduct. Primarily, this Article examines ICTY law. This Article closes with an outlook on the future of criminal defence before international criminal tribunals. As of yet, there is no provision for the professional conduct of defence counsel before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Alternative Liability In Litigation Malpractice Actions: Eradicating The Last Resort Of Scoundrels, Lawrence W. Kessler

San Diego Law Review

The legal malpractice tort, however, has managed to withstand the winds of legal change. Particularly crucial has been the refusal to apply alternative causation doctrines. The refusal to apply causation doctrines that have been embraced in other areas has significant social effects. As a result, the consumers of legal services receive less protection from the courts than do the consumers of products or medical services.

Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon & Frank, P.C. V. Superior Court: A Defensible Outcome, But A Striking Example Of The Need To Reform Unauthorized Practice Of Law Provisions

San Diego Law Review

The comments of then-Governor Pete Wilson perhaps echo a commonly held, nationwide belief: the State Bar of California is arrogant.2 If the State Bar of California has been perceived historically as aloof, then the Supreme Court of California created a public relations nightmare-indeed, threw gasoline on a simmering inferno-with its recent opinion in the case of Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon & Frank, P.C. v. Superior Court ("Birbrower If').' In Birbrower II, the court held that a New York law firm was unable to collect the majority of its fees,

which exceeded one million dollars, because some of its attorneys- none of …

Politics And Plurality In A Lawyer's Choice Of Clients: The Case Of Stropnicky V. Nathanson, Steve Berenson

San Diego Law Review

In attempting to ensure equal access to public goods, the law of public accommodation treats private, commercial, and political associations under different standards. Using Stropnicky v. Nathanson, this article analyzes a claimant's interest of equal access to an attorney against an attorney's freedom of association. Attorney Nathanson was sanctioned for refusing to provide representation to Mr. Stropnicky. The policy of Nathanson's law practice, however, was to not represent male clients in divorce proceedings. The author argues that her policy should be considered as political, rather than commercial, activity and accorded greater deference than applied by the U.S. Supreme Court. The …

Reimbursing Insurers’ Defense Costs: Restitution And Mixed Actions, Douglas R. Richmond

San Diego Law Review

The pejorative “Indian giver” describes a person who, having given a gift to another, takes it back or demands its return. This childhood insult arguably has surfaced in the law of liability insurance. A liability insurer that provides its insured with a defense to a lawsuit, but that later seeks to recover from the insured the costs associated with the defense of uncovered claims, might be described by the insured or by an insensitive court as an Indian giver. Having promised to defend its insured even against suits that are “groundless, false or fraudulent," an insurer that later seeks the …

Amalgam In The Americas: A Law School Curriculum For Free Markets And Open Borders, Mark A. Drumbl

San Diego Law Review

This Article addresses this lacuna by investigating ways in which the American and Canadian common law curriculum could become more responsive to the changing realities of legal practice under NAFTA.

Potentially the following modifications could be introduced on a gradual basis: 1. Introduction of a course to familiarize common law lawyers with the method, principles and practice of civil law, with a directed focus on Mexico; 2. Initiation of a broader NAFTA curriculum, potentially leading to a certificate or designation; and 3. Development of a new law degree, universally recognized in all three NAFTA jurisdictions as a prerequisite to bar …

A Paradigm Shift In Legal Education: Preparing Law Students For The Twenty-First Century: Teaching Foreign Law, Culture, And Legal Language Of The Major U.S. American Trading Partners, Gloria M. Sanchez

San Diego Law Review

Globalization of the world markets is the impetus behind this Article's call to law schools to include elective courses in transnational practice. Based on the denationalization of markets, laws and politics, the author argues that law schools should provide specialized courses in foreign law, taught in their domestic language, so that students are trained in the basic legal structures of other nations. Because of the creation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) the author recommends courses in Mexican law, culture, and Spanish legal language in U.S. law schools. The author also explains why understanding law in the context …
