Five Years Later: Reconsidering The Original Aba Report On Mdp, Sydney M. Cone Iii. Jan 2004

Five Years Later: Reconsidering The Original Aba Report On Mdp, Sydney M. Cone Iii.

Articles & Chapters

Reconsidering the original report issued in 1999 by the ABA Commission on Multidisciplinary Practice, this essay suggests that that report properly attempted to deal with questions of legal ethics that might arise if the practice of law by lawyers were integrated into an enterprise in which nonlawyers had a significant degree of ultimate control, but that the commission, perhaps because of undue time pressure, neglected to pursue these questions deeply enough. This essay suggests that more was needed than a proposed mechanism for self-certification of compliance with rules of legal ethics, coupled with possible review of compliance. The "more" that …

The Human Right To Housing: Making The Case In U.S. Advocacy, Maria Foscarinis, Brad Paul, Bruce Porter, Andrew Scherer Jan 2004

The Human Right To Housing: Making The Case In U.S. Advocacy, Maria Foscarinis, Brad Paul, Bruce Porter, Andrew Scherer

Articles & Chapters

American anti-poverty advocates are increasingly focusing on expressing homelessness as a violation of fundamental human rights. Conceptualizing homelessness as a human rights violation can help add legal content to advocacy goals, and help build support for the housing resources, policy changes, and improved legal protective measures needed to ensure access to housing.

This article explores the right to housing in domestic and international law, how to evaluate compliance with the right in the United States, and how to employ legal strategies in support of claims to the right. Theauthors review the status of international law in U. S. law and …


A Bar Against Competition: The Unconstitutionality Of Admission Rules For Out-Of-State Lawyers, Andrew M. Perlman Jan 2004

A Bar Against Competition: The Unconstitutionality Of Admission Rules For Out-Of-State Lawyers, Andrew M. Perlman

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

The Article contends that the American Bar Association's Model Rule on Admission by Motion and similar state provisions currently under consideration place unconstitutional limitations on the interstate practice of law and should be revised. These rules often require lawyers, and especially junior lawyers, to re-take the full bar examination as a condition for admission in another state. Although many commentators have criticized these types of requirements as having the primary purpose and effect of protecting the financial interests of the in-state bar, the re-take rule has a more serious and unrecognized flaw. It often violates three constitutional provisions designed to …


Clients As Teachers, Jane H. Aiken Jan 2004

Clients As Teachers, Jane H. Aiken

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

I am deeply honored to have been selected to hold the William Van Cleve Chair. After the announcement several months ago, I have had the pleasure of having people tell me just how wonderful a man Bill Van Cleve was and how lucky I am to have this chair in honor of him. The picture that I have gotten of this man is truly that of the lawyer statesman. He took his profession very seriously. He approached his work with dedication and passion but, more significantly, he loved his profession in the broadest sense. He understood that the practice of …

Leaders, Followers, And Free Riders: The Community Lawyer’S Dilemma When Representing Non-Democratic Client Organizations, Michael R. Diamond, Aaron O'Toole

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article will explore various aspects of the dissonance between the democratic ideal and the reality of groups in disenfranchised and disempowered communities. We will discuss the intersection of democracy and community action by examining the sociology of groups and the social psychology of leaders and followers. We will also examine the role of, and choices presented to, an attorney working in a community and for local community groups.


Too Much Heart And Not Enough Heat: The Short Life And Fractured Ego Of The Empathic, Heroic Public Defender, Abbe Smith Jan 2004

Too Much Heart And Not Enough Heat: The Short Life And Fractured Ego Of The Empathic, Heroic Public Defender, Abbe Smith

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this Article I will examine Professor Ogletree's paradigm for motivating and sustaining public defenders ten years after he proposed it. I will discuss whether Professor Ogletree's paradigm works for defenders in the predominantly high-volume, urban settings in which they practice, and if so, for how long. If the paradigm works for short-term defenders only - or those with smaller caseloads - then perhaps it is a temporary, not a sustaining, motivation. I will examine whether the paradigm is helpful- on an aspirational level if nothing else – or whether it emphasizes motivations that are ultimately self-defeating. After discussing Professor …

Teaching And Doing: The Role Of Law School Clinics In Enhancing Access To Justice, Jane H. Aiken, Stephen Wizner

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This Essay revisits the issue of the role that law school clinics can, and should play, in expanding access to justice. To do so we need to cast a critical eye on what we do, who we are, what we have become, and whether we need to rediscover, redefine, and reimagine our professional role as law school clinical teachers.


Lawrence And Garner: The Love (Or At Least Sexual Attraction) That Finally Dared Speak Its Name, Paris R. Baldacci Jan 2004

Lawrence And Garner: The Love (Or At Least Sexual Attraction) That Finally Dared Speak Its Name, Paris R. Baldacci

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the legal evolution from *Bowers v. Hardwick* to Lawrence v. Texas, highlighting how the latter marked a pivotal shift in recognizing LGBTQ+ rights by emphasizing personal autonomy and dignity. It underscores the significance of narrative strategies in shaping judicial decisions, particularly in *Lawrence*, where the plaintiffs' personal stories influenced the Court's ruling.

Not For Attribution: Government's Interest In Protecting The Integrity Of Its Own Expression, Helen Norton Jan 2004

Not For Attribution: Government's Interest In Protecting The Integrity Of Its Own Expression, Helen Norton

Publications

Public entities increasingly maintain that the First Amendment permits them to ensure that private speakers' views are not mistakenly attributed to the government. Consider, for example, Virginia's efforts to ban the Sons of Confederate Veterans' display of the Confederate flag logo on state-sponsored specialty license plates. Seeking to remain neutral in the ongoing debate over whether the Confederate flag is a symbol of "hate" or "heritage," Virginia argued that the state would be wrongly perceived as endorsing the flag if the logo appeared on a state-issued plate adorned by the identifier "VIRGINIA." The Fourth Circuit was unpersuaded, holding that the …


Changing Landscapes: Enduring Values, Angela Bodino Jan 2004

Changing Landscapes: Enduring Values, Angela Bodino

Service Learning, General

The campus of Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) seems pastoral with 160 acres of woods, a pond, and gentle grassy slopes. Two miles to the west are two golf courses and farmland. Two miles east are homes built in the 17th and 18th Centuries close to the North Branch of the Raritan River, close to a colonial cemetery and the soaring spire of the Reformed Church. This setting reminds us of an early American ethic of hope and change, the promise of vast spaces, new destinies and new communities.

How Lawyers Compete, Michael B. Abramowicz Jan 2004

How Lawyers Compete, Michael B. Abramowicz

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Lester Brickman's article establishes that the market for contingent fee lawyers is unusual, perhaps even bizarre. By removing legal impediments to the solicitation of clients, by unleashing the capital markets to finance legal claims, and by allowing intermediaries to match client and counsel, we could produce competition. Brickman has convinced me that there is little competition in contingency fee markets, and that such markets could be much more competitive. But I am not sure there is as little competition as he thinks, or that the changes in legal regimes he proposes would be sufficient to make the markets more competitive.
