Lawyering For Social Change: What's A Lawyer To Do?, Kevin R. Johnson Jan 1999

Lawyering For Social Change: What's A Lawyer To Do?, Kevin R. Johnson

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This article analyzes two questions that are raised by Professor Yamamoto's provocative article. Part I argues that any significant transformation of the social structure of United States society is far more likely to occur through mass political movements than through litigation. Consequently, advocates of social change, especially those trained in law, should not expect too much reform from the courtrooms. They instead should consider how traditional legal action might complement and encourage-not replace-community activism and political involvement. Put simply, an exclusive focus on litigation will not accomplish fully the desired objective. Part II contends that attorneys' ethical duties to their …

Courting Cyberspace, Al Harrison Jan 1999

Courting Cyberspace, Al Harrison

Computer Law Review and Technology Journal

Having the ability to practice law in cyberspace has virtually metamorphosed the legal landscape into an amorphous mass. In this murky region, trying to apply well-established legal principles creates a colloidal covering of uncertainty. Besides compelling changes in the way legal services are delivered, this metamorphosis has introduced numerous practical and ethical concerns for lawyers and law firms. For example, consider the following questions:

  • With whom are you communicating by sending e-mail?
  • Are you inadvertently providing free legal advice to an unknown person in an unknown venue?
  • Have you inadvertently established an attorney-client relationship?
  • Are you licensed in the state …

Enhancing Autonomy For Battered Women: Lessons From Navajo Peacemaking, Donna Coker Jan 1999

Enhancing Autonomy For Battered Women: Lessons From Navajo Peacemaking, Donna Coker

Articles

In this Article, Professor Donna Coker employs original empirical research to investigate the use of Navajo Peacemaking in cases involving domestic violence. Her analysis includes an examination of Navajo women's status and the impact of internal colonization. Many advocates for battered women worry that informal adjudication methods such as Peacemaking ignore domestic hierarchies of power and thus facilitate the batterer's ongoing violence against the victim. Those who endorse the use of Navajo Peacemaking and other systems of restorative justice believe that such processes are better equipped to cut through the batterer's denial and victim blaming and are more likely to …

Commercial And Corporate Lawyers 'N The Hood, Alfred Dennis Mathewson Jan 1999

Commercial And Corporate Lawyers 'N The Hood, Alfred Dennis Mathewson

Faculty Scholarship

I shall begin the development of this proposition with a theme from a "Last Lecture" I was asked to deliver by the UNM Campus Ministries several years ago. I was asked to pretend that I would die immediately after giving the lecture. I opened the lecture with a story my mother used to tell us about the time she was traveling on Trailways with two of my older brothers, then toddlers. The bus driver asked her to move to the back of the bus. She had not wanted to get up but decided that compliance with the demand was in …


Designing And Teaching The Large Externship Clinic, Mary Jo Eyster Jan 1999

Designing And Teaching The Large Externship Clinic, Mary Jo Eyster

Clinical Law Review

The focus of this article is the design and teaching of the externship clinic, with a particular focus on the large and diverse program with a variety of placements. I will first review some of the traditional conceptions (and possibly misconceptions) of clinical programs, including both externship and other clinics. In Section I, I consider the range of goals that might be adopted, and how this choice will affect the overall design of the clinic, including choices of host offices and seminar design. Next, in Section II, I discuss a number of teaching methods that might be used in the …
