The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham Jan 1997

The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham

Fordham International Law Journal

The focus in this Essay is on the regulations which have been adopted in the various states within the United States to recognize lawyers licensed in other countries. As the financial and commercial markets move beyond national boundaries to become global markets, lawyers practicing in the United States will increasingly be called upon to analyze and understand international law and the laws of countries outside the United States. Adopting regulations allowing foreign legal consultants to practice law will permit US lawyers to better serve their current clients. In addition, US lawyers will more easily obtain access to markets for legal …

Consent, Contract, And The Responsibilities Of Insurance Defense Counsel, Robert H. Jerry Ii Jan 1997

Consent, Contract, And The Responsibilities Of Insurance Defense Counsel, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

This paper examines some of the assumptions on which many contemporary assessments of defense counsel's relationship with the insurer and the policyholder rest, contends that some of the current turmoil in this area is traceable to shaky assumptions, and argues that the drafting of clearer liability insurance contracts would add stability to the relationships. Part I briefly describes the current uncertainty confronting policyholders and defense counsel. Part II explores what the most widely-used liability insurance contracts say about the responsibilities of insurance defense counsel, examining both the context in which these policies are sold and the texts themselves. It contends …

The Effects Of Telecommunications On Business, Richard Susskind Jan 1997

The Effects Of Telecommunications On Business, Richard Susskind

Fordham International Law Journal

Speech given at Session 2: World Communication: Where is Technology Leading Us? In many ways it does not make much sense if, say, you are setting up a business to go to one source for your legal guidance, another source for your accounting guidance, and another source for your financial advice. It will all come together, and lawyers may indeed be the people who bring that together into multidisciplinary services, bringing together the information that people require in their real-world circumstances. We will no longer package or present our guidance in the traditional legal categories, but we will aim them …

25 Divorce Attorneys And 40 Clients In Two Not So Big But Not So Small Cities In Massachusetts And California: An Appreciation, David L. Chambers

Reviews

Jane is meeting with her lawyer Peter. She has been complaining bitterly about a restraining order obtained ex parte by the lawyer for her husband Norb. The order bars her from entering the home that she still owns jointly with Norb and that Norb has continued to live in. She moved out voluntarily, as a gesture of good will, a short while before only to have her husband's lawyer run to court and secure the order she abhors. Readers first met Jane back in 1986 when Austin Sarat and William Felstiner published the first article growing out of their massive …
