The Uniform Trustee's Powers Act And The Basic Principles Of Fiduciary Responsibility, Robert W. Hallgring Aug 1966

The Uniform Trustee's Powers Act And The Basic Principles Of Fiduciary Responsibility, Robert W. Hallgring

Washington Law Review

Professor Hallgring presents a detailed analysis of the proposed Uniform Trustees' Powers Act's impact on the fiduciary duties of loyalty, care, and non-delegation of discretionary powers. He emphasizes serious downgrading of fiduciary responsibility implicit in several provisions of the proposed act, particularly in the modern context of the large corporate fiduciary. Professor Hallgring concludes that, although many provisions of the act have merit, it does not sufficiently protect the beneficiary as presently drafted. He suggests, however, that amendments strengthening the standards of fiduciary responsibility could be incorporated into the act without destroying the benefits sought by its framers.


The Procedure Before The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, Peter E. Herzog Jun 1966

The Procedure Before The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, Peter E. Herzog

Washington Law Review

The Court of Justice of the European Communities has inspired much legal writing, including many books and articles in English. Particular attention has been paid to its jurisdiction and general organization, much less to its procedure. But Professor Sereni has pointed out that differences in the domestic procedural laws of states appearing before an international court may cause difficulties in the work of the international tribunal itself. It therefore may be of interest to review briefly some aspects of the procedure of a court which is perhaps not an international tribunal in the strict sense of the word, but in …


Washington's Non-Intervention Executor—Starting Point For Probate Simplification, Robert L. Fletcher Jan 1966

Washington's Non-Intervention Executor—Starting Point For Probate Simplification, Robert L. Fletcher

Washington Law Review

Professor Fletcher's discussion of the history and philosophy of the non-intervention executorship under the Washington statute is segmented into four parts. The first three extensively inquire into the philosophy and forces which have shaped the present contours of this unusual procedure. During this era the court in construing the statutory basis for the procedure and the legislature in amending it have treated the nonintervention executorship in some respects as part of the regular probate procedure and in others as wholly separate, quite without unifying rationale. Further, the court has developed a concept of jurisdictional immunity of questionable value. In the …

The Roles Of Lawyers In U.S.-Japanese Business Transactions, Dan Fenno Henderson Apr 1963

The Roles Of Lawyers In U.S.-Japanese Business Transactions, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

This article deals with the organization, qualifications and roles of lawyers in U.S.-Japanese transactions, with emphasis on the liaison lawyer. It is not easy for the liaison lawyer to define his specialty because it is determined by the transactions, and they sprawl across the borders of two or more countries and cut across multiple fields of substantive law. Some awkward professional problems and postures can result. First, there are unusual threshold problems of language and multiple bar membership, different professional ethics and scopes of practice, and conflicting governing laws. Then once in the practice, the liaison lawyer's inventory of useful …


Security Transactions—Priority—Federal Tax Liens And Future Advance Mortgages, Beverly J. Rosenow Jul 1962

Security Transactions—Priority—Federal Tax Liens And Future Advance Mortgages, Beverly J. Rosenow

Washington Law Review

In American Surety Co. v. Sundberg the Washington Supreme Court made a startling encroachment upon the sanctity of a secured mortgage. Using the United States Supreme Court's test of "choateness," the court held that the lien of a mortgage securing future advances is subordinate to federal tax liens filed subsequent to the filing of the mortgage, but prior to advances for which the lien was claimed.


Report Of The Board Of Governors And Address Of The President, Harold W. Coffin Nov 1956

Report Of The Board Of Governors And Address Of The President, Harold W. Coffin

Washington Law Review

It is a custom of long standing in the Washington State Bar Association that the president make an annual report and make some remarks concerning any subject-matter that he may wish. This has always been done at the annual meeting. I assume it is comparable to a president of a corporation speaking at the annual meeting of stockholders.


Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens Mar 1956

Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The average attorney has little interest in, nor does he realize the inadequacy of, the attorney's lien laws of his state—until he finds himself personally involved. Yet, a glance at the law reviews and pertinent cases indicates that the organized bar and its individual members should show more than a casual interest in the number and variety of problems arising in this field.


Unauthorized Practice Of Law In Washington, Phillip Offenbacker Aug 1955

Unauthorized Practice Of Law In Washington, Phillip Offenbacker

Washington Law Review

Unauthorized practice of law is practice by one who has not been admitted to practice by the supreme court and who is not a member in good standing of the state bar association. It is now undisputed that the supreme court has sole jurisdiction over admission to practice and apparently may deal with unauthorized practice as an incident of its power over admission. However, unauthorized practice has also been the subject of legislative enactment. It follows, therefore, that the sanctions which are imposed to prevent the unauthorized practice of law in this state are of both judicial and legislative creation. …


Hidden Assets And Responsibilities, Lloyd Wright Nov 1954

Hidden Assets And Responsibilities, Lloyd Wright

Washington Law Review

We have just finished our 77th annual meeting of the American Bar Association. This meeting has, of course, been unique and unusually gratifying in that it was the occasion of dedicating the American Bar Center in which is lodged the American Bar Association's new headquarters and the American Bar Foundation research and library headquarters. You have all heard of this glorious accomplishment and every one who was there, I am sure, was thrilled because of the dignity, simplicity, and impressiveness of the ceremonies.

Legal Aid In Retrospect And Prospect, Lane Summers Aug 1952

Legal Aid In Retrospect And Prospect, Lane Summers

Washington Law Review

In complying with the request for comment on the recently published book by Emery A. Brownell, entitled Legal Aid in the United States, I may appropriately quote from others writing on the same subject since the author largely uses that method of stating basic principles which, put together, prescribe legal aid as a social medicine


Report Of Committee For Revision Of Inheritance And Gift Tax Law, Richard S. Munter Nov 1951

Report Of Committee For Revision Of Inheritance And Gift Tax Law, Richard S. Munter

Washington Law Review

In addition to inheritance and gift tax subjects, the Board of Governors requested the committee to consider the impact which the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank and Trust Co., 94 L. Ed. 865, might have on the validity of decrees of distribution in probate proceedings. The committee took no action on this problem because of the inclusion in the new rules adopted by the Washington Supreme Court of Rule 41 of the Rules on Pleading, Practice and Procedure. Under this rule notice similar to that approved by the United States …


Report Of Commmittee On Legal Services To The Armed Forces, George H. Revelle Nov 1951

Report Of Commmittee On Legal Services To The Armed Forces, George H. Revelle

Washington Law Review

Briefly the purpose of the committee was to be sure that the members of the armed forces, both who were serving in this state on leave, or are acquainted with death and loss in another state, and those of this state who are serving throughout the world, that they have the means of reaching legal services when they need them. The work of the committee is so that members of the armed services who were residents of the state of Washington, who have never had any contact with a lawyer and need one, go to a legal officer in the …


Report Of Committee To Cooperate With American Law Institute, James E. Brenner Nov 1950

Report Of Committee To Cooperate With American Law Institute, James E. Brenner

Washington Law Review

The purpose of this program is to bring to local Bar Associations of the states and cities and counties opportunities to participate in these Institutes. Washington has been well out in front with this work. You have had Institutes on a number of occasions in Seattle. Last year you hit one of the high spots here in Spokane. I think it will be a landmark because of the contrast between what happened here and what happened in another state at exactly the same time.

Meet The Average Lawyer: How Many Prospective Clients Has A Lawyer Practicing In The State Of Washington?, Anon Jan 1939

Meet The Average Lawyer: How Many Prospective Clients Has A Lawyer Practicing In The State Of Washington?, Anon

Washington Law Review

According to the law of averages, each of 2,575 lawyers admitted to practice in the state of Washington has 607 of the state's 1,563,393 inhabitants as a potential clientele. But if he restricts his activities to a particular locality, this theoretical "average" lawyer may have anywhere from 357 to 2,012 prospective clients, for if he makes his headquarters in King County he will share 463,517 inhabitants with 1,297 other lawyers, his quota being 357, while if he chooses to practice in Mason County he will be one of five lawyers in a county of 10,060 population, 2,012 of whom are …

Supplemental Washington Annotations, Restatement Of Contracts, Warren Shattuck Jan 1938

Supplemental Washington Annotations, Restatement Of Contracts, Warren Shattuck

Washington Law Review

It is now nearly three years since the Washington Annotations to the Restatement of Contracts was published. During this interval several developments have taken place. The Contracts Restatement has received an ever-increasing recognition from both courts and practitioners throughout the country. Such recognition was perhaps inevitable in view of the eminence and ability of the men who formulated the propositions set out in the Restatement. It is the product of much labor, by Professor Williston and his fellow reporters, and by the distinguished judges, attorneys and teachers who constitute the American Law Institute. More particularly, recognition has progressed in Washington. …


Proposed Rule Requiring Appellant In All Briefs Filed In The Supreme Court To Make On The First Page Of The Brief A "Statement Of Questions Involved", Alfred J. Schweppe Jan 1938

Proposed Rule Requiring Appellant In All Briefs Filed In The Supreme Court To Make On The First Page Of The Brief A "Statement Of Questions Involved", Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

With a view to facilitating the most adequate and detailed consideration, in the State Supreme Court, of each case from the standpoint of the litigants, their counsel, and the public, the Judicial Council has under consideration a proposal to recommend to the State Supreme Court a rule of appellate practice requiring the appellant at the very commencement of his brief to make a "statement of questions involved." This practice has been found in the State of Pennsylvania to give most excellent results. It has been referred to in numerous cases. In order to show how this practice actually works, there …
