The Bounds Of Zeal In Criminal Defense: Some Thoughts On Lynne Stewart, Abbe Smith

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

On April 9, 2002, a troop of armed FBI agents stormed the Brooklyn town house of sixty-two-year-old Lynne Stewart. A school librarian turned criminal lawyer, Stewart thought they had come for her life partner, longtime political activist Ralph Poynter. Flashing an arrest warrant, the agent in charge informed her otherwise, "We're not here for him, we're here for you." As her neighbors looked on, Stewart was handcuffed and taken off to jail.

Indicted under a federal law that prohibits providing "material support or resources" to organizations designated by the Secretary of State as engaging in terrorist activity, Stewart suddenly found …

Well-Known Trademark Protection In The People's Republic Of China — Evolution Of The System, Edward Eugene Lehman, Camilla Ojansivu, Stan Abrams

Fordham International Law Journal

Protection of intellectual property is an integral part of China's economic reform policy. It paves the way for faster development of science, technology, and culture and creates a stronger basis for the Chinese market economy. With the rapid development of China's economy, culminating in China's entry into the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), and the pressure put to bear from multinational corporations and the governments of developed countries, the Chinese government has become aware that protection of well-known trademarks pursuant to the standards of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights of the WTO (“TRIPS” or “TRIPS Agreement” or …

Articles & Chapters

In this article, I first, suggest that the current deplorable state of criminal defense services should provide a motivation for judicial action. Then, I review the precedent providing the foundation for judicial action. In the third section, I discuss the standards applicable to defense services.

Corrections To Laurel S. Terry, Gats' Applicability To Transnational Lawyering, Laurel S. Terry

In October 2001, the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law published an article I wrote entitled GATS' Applicability to Transnational Lawyering and its Potential Impact on U.S. State Regulation of Lawyers, 34 Vand.

After my article was published, I came to discover several mistakes in it. The pages that follow are my corrections to that October 2001 article. I am very grateful to the editors of the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law for the opportunity to publish …

Maccrate's Missed Opportunity: The Maccrate Report's Failure To Advance Professional Values Symposium, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

The 1992 Report of the Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession: Narrowing the Gap (the "Task Force"), Legal Education Professional Development - An Educational Continuum, popularly known as the MacCrate Report (the "Report"), was the most ambitious effort to reform legal education in the past generation. Some commentators have described the Report as "the greatest proposed paradigm shift in legal education since Langdell envisioned legal education as the pursuit of legal science through the case method in the late 19th century.” Although the Report sought to promote education in both lawyering skills and values, its major influence has …

The article reviews the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence, integrating mental health principles into the juvenile justice system and the sentencing of juveniles. It discusses reasons why mental health and juvenile justice systems have not worked well together in the United States. The author describes current theories of juvenile justice and community health that would allow these systems to work better together, such as Balanced and Restorative Justice and the Child and Adolescent Service System Program. He explains how these theories can be better integrated into the juvenile justice system and argues that the best hope for therapeutic jurisprudence lies in …

Conflict Of Interest And Competency Issues In Law Clinic Practice, Peter A. Joy, Robert R. Kuehn

Scholarship@WashULaw

Although clinical legal education is an established part of American legal education, few commentators have considered how the ethical issues governing lawyers' conflicts of interest and competency apply in the law school clinic context. This article fills that gap by identifying and explaining the ethical obligations law clinic students and supervising clinical faculty encounter in case and client selection due to conflict of interest and competency considerations. It analyzes various conflicts of interest due to prior, current, or future employment of law clinic students and faculty, and it explores conflicts based on the status of clinical faculty as employees of …
