Reading Poethics, Robert Weisberg

Cardozo Law Review

The advent of law-and-literature scholarship, or at least the pronouncement of Law and Literature as a major new scholarly enterprise, reflects a general tendency in our culture to look to literature as a source of spiritual renewal, as a means of reclaiming a vaguely defined but emotionally evocative legacy. Such a turn to literature for renewal is ironic, since, as Richard Poirier points out, it is literature itself whose internal troubles seem to best reflect the various types of alienation, malaise, and disbelief which are said to distress modern culture. In that regard, it may be more appropriate to look …

Nonrefundable Retainers Revisited, Lester Brickman, Lawrence A. Cunningham

Articles

Amidst widespread public attention to fee abuses, a court recently held for the first time that nonrefundable retainers violate professional ethics. The court in In re Cooperman essentially adopted the argument of Professors Brickman and Cunningham that nonrefundable retainers are against public policy because they impair a client's right to discharge his attorney at any time without penalty. Because declaring such agreements unethical is tantamount, in the eyes of the practicing bar, to declaring them void, In re Cooperman has sparked a national outcry from those who profit from enforcing nonrefundable retainers. In this Article, Professors Brickman and Cunningham analyze …

Jacob Burns, Simon J. Liebowitz

Cardozo Law Review

The demise of Mr. Jacob Bums is a great loss not only to his family but to his many friends. Folks who met him in the course of his manifold humanitarian activities were deeply impressed by his sincerity, kindness, and love for humanity. As a practicing lawyer his great ability served his clients well. Providing pro bono legal services to the poor was a way of life to him.

Political Will And The Unitary Executive: What Makes An Independent Agency Independent?, Neal Devins

Cardozo Law Review

The government does not speak a unitary voice in court. The exercise of independent litigating authority by governmental entities connotes the absence of White House authority and, with it, disunity in interpretation. Sometimes Congress encourages such disunity through statutory grants of independent litigating authority. Sometimes the executive accommodates the desires of governmental entities to speak their own voice in particular cases. At other times the executive acknowledges an implicit claim of right for an independent agency or governmental corporation to control its litigation.

The Use Of Advance Fee Attorney Retainer Agreements In Bankruptcy: Another Special Law For Lawyers?, Lester Brickman, Jonathan Klein

Articles

From the time that the first lawyers set foot in what is now the United States, society has engaged in efforts to regulate lawyers' fees, including fees received from clients in bankruptcy proceedings. Lawyers, in turn, have been engaged in continuing efforts to: secure their self-interests, aggrandize their role in society, be free of societally imposed constraints on their fees and activities, and carve out an ever larger area of exclusive domain. Although lawyers have not fared as well in their recent efforts to extend the scope of their monopoly by the use of statutes that prohibit the unauthorized practice …

Setting The Fee When The Client Discharges A Contingent Fee Attorney, Lester Brickman

Articles

The bold and precedent-setting case of Martin v. Camp endowed the attorney-client relationship with the legacy of the "client discharge rule"; it provides that a client can discharge his attorney at any time without cause and without penalty. The predicate of the rule is that trust and confidence are essential features of the attorney-client relationship. If that trust and confidence dissipate, the client should not be forced to continue to confide in and rely upon that attorney. Accordingly, the client should not be penalized financially if he elects to change attorneys. The discharged attorney, precluded from realizing the contingent percentage …

The Fall And Rise Of The Criminal Contingent Fee, Peter Lushing

Articles

The article argues that the ban on contingent fees for criminal defense attorneys, established by the American Bar Association in 1969, is outdated and should be repealed. It contends that the ban is rooted in historical prejudice and unfounded concerns about conflicts of interest, rather than empirical evidence. The author suggests that the Supreme Court's 1989 decision implicitly approving contingent fees in certain criminal cases presents an opportunity to reconsider this prohibition. Repealing the ban could benefit middle-class defendants and allow for regulation and data collection to address potential issues.
