Legitimacy And The Power Game, Michelle S. Jacobs Jan 1994

Legitimacy And The Power Game, Michelle S. Jacobs

Clinical Law Review

Clinicians argue that the clinical teaching approach does not fall prey to the hierarchical structure of the traditional faculty-student relationship. The argument has been made that traditional faculty, while engaged in the "Socratic" method of teaching, have used a hierarchical structure to manipulate and abuse the power relationship between themselves and their students. Clinical methodology, on the other hand, permits a relationship with the student that more closely approximates the model of the ideal lawyer-client relationship, that of equals or "near equals." Occasionally a dissenting voice arises and challenges the notion that clinical methodology is any less manipulative than traditional …


Law And Language: An Interdisciplinary Study Of Client Interviews, Gay Gellhorn, Lynne Robins, Pat Roth Jan 1994

Law And Language: An Interdisciplinary Study Of Client Interviews, Gay Gellhorn, Lynne Robins, Pat Roth

Clinical Law Review

This article describes an interdisciplinary project involving law students, law professors, graduate students in anthropology, and an anthropology professor. The Professional Discourse Project was an educational experiment, the defining feature of which was the use of a law school clinic as a laboratory in which law and anthropology students could explore what constitutes effective legal interviewing and could apply language theory to lawyering problems. In this interdisciplinary learning laboratory, anthropology students videotaped and transcribed lawyer-client interviews conducted by first year law students. The Project participants analyzed the data through an interdisciplinary lens. By crossing disciplinary boundaries, the Professional Discourse Project …


Regulating Law Schools: Should The Aba Accreditation Process Be Used To Speed The Implementation Of The Maccrate Report Recommendations?, Mark Heyrman Jan 1994

Regulating Law Schools: Should The Aba Accreditation Process Be Used To Speed The Implementation Of The Maccrate Report Recommendations?, Mark Heyrman

Clinical Law Review

The publication in 1992 of Legal Education and Professional Development- An Educational Continuum, the Report of the American Bar Association "Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession: Narrowing the Gap," has focussed increased attention on the issue of lawyer competency. The MacCrate Report, like other previous examinations of legal education, finds a pervasive failure to prepare lawyers to practice law competently and recommends that additional attention be paid both during law school and after graduation to insuring that lawyers are provided with the skills and values necessary to practice law. The Report includes a lengthy Statement of the Skills …


Why Not A Clinical Lawyer-Journal, Stephen Ellmann, Isabelle R. Gunning, Randy A. Hertz Jan 1994

Why Not A Clinical Lawyer-Journal, Stephen Ellmann, Isabelle R. Gunning, Randy A. Hertz

Clinical Law Review

The inauguration of the first journal in a field offers a singular opportunity to ruminate upon the history and present state of scholarship within that field and to speculate upon the directions such scholarship might take in the future. Being clinicians, we could hardly pass up the chance to practice what we preach (rather than merely preaching about practice) by engaging in the processes of reflection, critique, and future planning.


Collaborative Lawyering In The Field - On Mapping The Paths From Rhetoric To Practice, Lucie E. White Jan 1994

Collaborative Lawyering In The Field - On Mapping The Paths From Rhetoric To Practice, Lucie E. White

Clinical Law Review

Several years ago, I used a case study from South Africa as a lens for examining how power is exercised to maintain subordination, and in turn might be deployed to dismantle it. Using Steven Lukes' conception of power, I identified three dimensions on which lawyering might be a catalyst for progressive social change. On the first dimension is advocacy which seeks to make the positive law more responsive to the social welfare needs of socially disempowered groups. This dimension encompasses three familiar forms of public interest lawyering: litigation to expand welfare entitlements or improve welfare administration; lobbying to increase resources …


Conferring On The Maccrate Report: A Clinical Gaze, Beverly Balos Jan 1994

Conferring On The Maccrate Report: A Clinical Gaze, Beverly Balos

Clinical Law Review

The MacCrate Report provides a strong statement about the need for legal education to take seriously its responsibility for training students in the values of the profession and skills of legal practice. It is this central focus of the Report that makes it of interest to those of us who recognize the particular contribution clinical education makes to legal training. The Task Force, appointed and supported by the American Bar Association's influential Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, affirmed in its Report the importance of clinical education and the vital role it can play in the training …


The Regulation Of Legal Education; The Potential For Implementing The Maccrate Report's Recommendations For Curricular Reform, John S. Elson Jan 1994

The Regulation Of Legal Education; The Potential For Implementing The Maccrate Report's Recommendations For Curricular Reform, John S. Elson

Clinical Law Review

The MacCrate Task Force Report, with its muted criticisms, copious commendations and gentle recommendations sought mightily for consensus. Controversy, however, continues to be the legacy of the Report's primary conclusion that there is too great a disconnection between what law schools teach and what students need to learn for initial competence in practice. This conclusion, and most importantly, the steps that should logically follow from it, are presently being vehemently debated in the scholarly and popular media and in local and national fora that include law faculties and their various trade associations, state bar associations, the American Bar Association's various …


Reconceptualizing Clinical Scholarship As Clinical Instruction, Gary Palm Jan 1994

Reconceptualizing Clinical Scholarship As Clinical Instruction, Gary Palm

Clinical Law Review

The editors of the Review asked me to consider whether I still adhere to the views I expressed in my 1986 Message from the Chair in the Newsletter of the Clinical Legal Education Section of the Association of American Law Schools. That newsletter Message was in response to a position taken by Dean Susan Prager of UCLA Law School, then the President of the Association of American Law Schools, that clinical teachers should be required to produce scholarship - by which she meant research and publication. In the newsletter, I expressed concern that a publication requirement would diminish the time …


Lessons From A Semester In Practice, Liz Ryan Cole Jan 1994

Lessons From A Semester In Practice, Liz Ryan Cole

Clinical Law Review

He was a very big guy. He was already balding, and looked as if his body, which had been so good for football, would run to fat before he was 35. He talked as if he had a pretty high opinion of himself. He wore his shirts open one more button than the norm and always seemed to wear gold chains around his neck. This was February of his second year of law school. I'll call him Peter. She presented herself to me through her resume. The first time I read it, I had the impression she was as two-dimensional …


Clinical Scholarship And Skills Training, Peter Toll Hoffman Jan 1994

Clinical Scholarship And Skills Training, Peter Toll Hoffman

Clinical Law Review

The creation of a new journal of clinical scholarship is an auspicious occasion for several reasons. First, the mere existence of such a journal is an affirmation of the integrity and value of clinical legal education and of the optimism of those involved with the creation of the journal about the future of our calling as clinical teachers. Second, the inauguration of the journal offers opportunities for reflection about the current state of clinical scholarship and the future direction of our scholarly endeavors. Titling a new journal the "Clinical Law Review" invites the question of what should be contained within …


The Role Of Casuistry In Legal Ethics: A Tentative Inquiry, Paul R. Tremblay Jan 1994

The Role Of Casuistry In Legal Ethics: A Tentative Inquiry, Paul R. Tremblay

Clinical Law Review

This Essay explores ethical decisionmaking within law practice "at the margins"-that is, when substantive, positive lawyering standards do not require a particular resolution to moral conflict. While lawyering is unique among professions in its elaborate designation of particular rules and mandates to be applied to questions normally considered "ethical," it at the same time leaves a substantial chunk of ethical decisionmaking up to the discretion of individual practitioners. The language, the methods, and the guidance to lawyers about how to make such calls, however, are impoverished and relatively unexplored. Consider, for instance, how doctors approach ethical conflict. Compared to lawyers, …


Significant Curricular Developments: The Maccrate Report And Beyond, Gary Laser Jan 1994

Significant Curricular Developments: The Maccrate Report And Beyond, Gary Laser

Clinical Law Review

When I first started my career in clinical education in 1968 at Northwestern Law School, I spent most of my time practicing law, supervising students, and thinking about how my colleagues and I could dramatically improve some small corner of the world through law reform and representation of groups promoting radical societal change. It seems that I now spend most of my time on curriculum development, evaluation, and administration of the large and growing in-house and externship clinical programs at the Chicago-Kent College of Law. I still think about improving the world through clinical education, but I now tend to …


Unitariness And Independence: Solicitor General Control Over Independent Agency Litigation, Neal Devins Jan 1994

Unitariness And Independence: Solicitor General Control Over Independent Agency Litigation, Neal Devins

Faculty Publications

With a few exceptions, the Solicitor General controls all aspects of independent agency litigation before the Supreme Court. Solicitor General control of Supreme Court litigation creates a tension between independent agency freedom and the Solicitor General's authority. On the one hand, Solicitor General control provides the United States with a unitary voice before the Supreme Court, and provides the Court with a trustworthy litigator to explicate the government's position. On the other hand, such control may undermine the autonomy of independent agency decision making. In this Article, the author argues for a hybrid model of independent agency litigation in the …

Redefining The Sixth Amendment, John B. Mitchell

Faculty Articles

This article compares public defenders in lower courts with public defenders in superior courts across the country. The article concludes that lower criminal courts suffer from problems of funding and resource allocation and that these issues must be addressed before they can adequately administer justice.


Divorce Violence And The No-Fault Divorce Culture, Lynn D. Wardle Jan 1994

Divorce Violence And The No-Fault Divorce Culture, Lynn D. Wardle

Utah Law Review

One of the major purposes for no-fault divorce reform was to reduce the hostility historically associated with divorce-related litigation. Generally it was believed that eliminating fault grounds for divorce would reduce or eliminate animosity and belligerent conflict. Yet, the continued existence of pervasive serious violence associated with divorce-related litigation a quarter of a century after the adoption of no-fault divorce laws defies the claims and expectations of no-fault divorce reformers. This Article considers some of the connections between divorce and violence, and specifically between no-fault divorce and acts of serious violence by those affected by contemporary divorce-related litigation. The focus …

First, the scope of the UTPA is examined. Next, private remedies authorized by the UTPA are critiqued. Finally, the role of the DOJ is reformulated in response to declining public resources and increased reliance on private enforcement.

The Bespeaks Caution Doctrine: Revisiting The Application Of Federal Securities Law To Opinions And Estimates, Royce De R. Barondes Jan 1994

The Bespeaks Caution Doctrine: Revisiting The Application Of Federal Securities Law To Opinions And Estimates, Royce De R. Barondes

Faculty Publications

Disclosure of estimates and opinions, which are often referred to as ‘soft information,‘ has presented a number of difficult issues to courts, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and companies issuing offering materials or required to file periodic reports with the SEC. Although this type of information often consists of projections, historical financial statements also include this type of information to varying degrees. For example, a bank's statement of financial position requires specification of loan loss reserves and is therefore dependent on an assessment of future events (the timing and extent of repayment). Similarly, determination of the timing of a …
