The Corporate Governance Movement, Daniel R. Fischel
The Corporate Governance Movement, Daniel R. Fischel
Articles
In the past decade a number of commentators have argued that corporations have failed to meet their responsibilities to shareholders and the public. To remedy this perceived failure, these commentators have advocated a variety of corporate governance proposals. In this Article Professor Fischel challenges the notion that any problem exists in the current mode of corporate governance. He contends that reformers have wrongly assumed the existence of a "problem" because of their failure to understand the economic theory underlying the corporate form of firm organization. Professor Fischel argues further that no empirical evidence exists to support the contentions of advocates …

In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part Vi: The Auerbach Years -- A Time Of Building, Controversy And Frustration, Robert Stein
Articles
When William B. Lockhart resigned from the deanship of the University of Minnesota Law School in June 1972, a productive sixteen-year tenure came to an end. Guided in the early years by the recommendations of the 1955 Law School Self-Survey, Lockhart and his faculty achieved significant success in improving the school's relationship with the bar, in revitalizing the educational program, in improving the quality of the student body, and in maintaining the quality of the faculty. In the later years of his tenure, the law school successfully responded, under Lockhart's leadership, to a variety of challenges presented in the turbulence …

American Indian Courts And Tribal Self-Government, Richard B. Collins, Ralph W. Johnson, Kathy Imig Perkins
Articles
This article is intended to rebut several of Mr. Brakel's key assertions and to emphasize the wellestablished right of Indians to maintain their own courts. Each of the authors has had extensive contact and experience working with Indian courts. Mr. Collins is associated with the Native American Rights Fund. He formerly had many contacts with Indian courts when he practiced law on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Professor Johnson, who has taught law at the University of Washington School of Law for twenty-one years, has for the past six years been an instructor in the National American Indian Court Judges Association's …
Legal Ethics And The Government Lawyer, Eric Schnapper
Legal Ethics And The Government Lawyer, Eric Schnapper
Articles
All litigation presents to some degree, real though not always perceived, a conflict between each attorney's responsibility as a representative of his or her client and as an officer of the court. Winning the case and seeing that justice is done must be inconsistent goals for counsel on at least one side in a case, if not on both. However substantial this problem may be regarded, it is certainly more complex for counsel for the government. Unlike a private attorney subject to dismissal for ignoring a client's wishes, counsel for the government often has, subject to the variables of intragovernmental …
Conflict Of Interest, Robert H. Aronson
Conflict Of Interest, Robert H. Aronson
Articles
The purpose of this article is to indicate situations in which conflict of interest problems most commonly arise and to suggest principles for avoiding such situations or resolving unavoidable conflicts. Part One presents an overview of the subject, with a discussion of general principles underlying conflict of interest problems. Part Two applies these general' principles to a number of frequently encountered problem areas. Throughout the discussion, the author approaches problem situations with a cautious eye. Not every court or grievance committee would impose discipline or invalidate a transaction for all the conflicts scrutinized herein; nevertheless, the possibility of such measures …
Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson
Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson
Articles
The fallout from the Watergate scandals has had a profound effect upon the legal profession because many of the prominent offenders were attorneys. The severity of the conduct involved and the suspicion that the activities publicized represent merely the tip of the iceberg have caused the American Bar Association, state and local bar committees, and law schools to seek new ways of educating prospective lawyers with respect to their ethical duties, and to seek more effective sanctions against ethically deficient attorneys. It is ironic, however, that increased awareness and activity in the area of legal ethics should be motivated by …
Foreword, Lester Brickman, Richard O. Lempert
Foreword, Lester Brickman, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
The forword highlights the significant concern over unmet legal needs among low and middle-income populations, emphasizing the fragmented and inefficient state of research in this area. It argues that the lack of coordination among studies, inconsistent terminology, and duplication of efforts hinder progress. The authors propose a coordinated approach to identify research gaps, set priorities, and improve the delivery of legal services.
Transcript Of Conference Proceedings, Lester Brickman, Richard O. Lempert
Transcript Of Conference Proceedings, Lester Brickman, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
The transcript examines the challenges and opportunities in improving legal services delivery to middle-class consumers, emphasizing the need for structural changes and enhanced client-lawyer interactions. It advocates for a shift from merely increasing the number of lawyers to empowering clients through better problem definition, shared decision-making, and measurable outcomes. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding legal needs, the role of intermediaries, and the potential of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Cost-effectiveness, the impact of third-party payments, and the integration of paralegals are also central themes.

A Definition Of "Liabilities" In Code Sections 357 And 358(D), Douglas A. Kahn, Dale A. Oesterle
Articles
Internal Revenue Code section 351(a) provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized if property is transferred to a corporation solely in exchange for its stock or securities and the transferors control the corporation immediately after the exchange. If, in addition to receiving stock or securities in an exchange that would otherwise qualify for section 351 treatment, a transferor receives other property or money -- "boot" -- any realized gain is recognized up to the amount of the money and the fair market value of the other property received. The transferee corporation's assumption of the transferor's liabilities or its …

Legislative Regulation Of Searches And Seizures: The Michigan Proposals, Jerold H. Israel
Articles
IN March 1971, the Michigan Bar Commissioners appointed a twenty-five-member committee with a directive "to promulgate a recommended revision of the Code of Criminal Procedure codifying existing statutory and case law provisions which, in the judgment of the Committee, should be retained and adding thereto such provisions as the Committee, in its judgment, deems warranted; and to incorporate such recommendations into proposed legislation for submission to the Legislature."' The committee membership included judges, prosecutors, legislators, criminal defense lawyers, law school professors, and representatives of Michigan police and corrections agencies.2 Judge Horace Gilmore served as Chairman, and I served as Reporter.

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray
The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray
Articles
Perhaps it is unusual to start a discussion of a topic with a dissent from the assumption underlying its choice, but I think that in the present case this may be justified. The present topic was no doubt selected because for many years teachers have viewed the course in "comparative law" as a basic course, leading subsequently to specialized courses or research in various subject matters or geographical areas. In fact, the other two speakers on this afternoon's program, Professors Rudolf Schlesinger of Cornell and Arthur von Mehren of Harvard, are both on record in the form of their casebooks …

Ann Arbor And Legal Aid, James J. White
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.
