Amicus (Fall 2007), University Of Colorado Law School

Amicus

Colorado Law has always been extremely proud of its alumni who choose to utilize their law degree to help serve the greater good. Acting as public servants, these graduates have chosen to eschew higher pay and better job security in favor of positively serving their communities. This issue shines a spotlight on a few of the many Colorado Law alumni who have chosen to walk this path.

Featured in this issue:

• Patricia Moore ‘92

The Accountable Attorney: A Proposal To Revamp The Aba’S 1976 Statement Of Policy Regarding Lawyers’ Responses To Auditors’ Requests For Information, James S. Johnson

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

The American Bar Association's (ABA) long-standing compromise' with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) regarding the role of lawyers in audits of public companies needs an overhaul. The current process is dysfunctional: accountants attempt to opine on a company's disclosures about litigation and to assess loss exposure without any foundation in the legal issues involved. During this process, those accountants turn to their clients' attorneys for help. But lawyers, concerned about preserving confidentiality and privilege, routinely respond to the accountants' requests with verbiage honed to say nothing at all. This Comment argues that the time has come to …

Do Judges Systematically Favor The Interests Of The Legal Profession?, Benjamin H. Barton

Scholarly Works

This Article answers this question with the following jurisprudential hypothesis. Many legal outcomes can be explained, and future cases predicted, by asking a very simple question: is there a plausible result in this case that will significantly affect the interests of the legal profession (positively or negatively)? If so, the case will be decided in the way that offers the best result for the legal profession.

The article presents theoretical support from the new institutionalism, cognitive psychology and economic theory. The Article then gathers and analyzes supporting cases from areas as diverse as constitutional law, torts, professional responsibility, employment law, …

Why Children Still Need A Lawyer, Marcia Robinson Lowry, Sara Bartosz

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Every day approximately 500,000 children across the United States wake up in foster care, most in foster family homes, though many others in group homes and institutions. These children entered the state foster care system as innocent victims of abuse or neglect occurring in their birth homes. As wards of the state, they depend completely on the government to provide for their essential safety and wellbeing and to reconnect them with a permanent family, hopefully their own.

Though state child welfare agencies possess fundamental legal obligations under the United States Constitution and federal and state statutes to provide adequate care …

Medium-Specific Regulation Of Attorney Advertising: A Critique, Lyrissa Lidsky, Tera Peterson

Faculty Publications

Florida has been one of the most aggressive states in regulating attorney advertising. The Florida Supreme Court recently adopted new and more stringent rules regulating broadcast advertising by attorneys, and the court appears poised to adopt new and more stringent rules governing Internet advertising by attorneys. As this Article details, the problem is that Florida's new and proposed rules violate both the First Amendment and sound public policy principles. This Article provides guidance to states contemplating further regulation of attorney advertising, and it indirectly critiques current commercial speech doctrine.

Why Practice Management?, Gary A. Munneke

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Today, lawyers must regard the practice of law as a business, inasmuch as they earn their livelihood from the practice of law. The marketplace for legal services is a competitive one; not only has the size of the profession more than quadrupled in the past 50 years, but other professions and businesses have also begun to perform services traditionally restricted to lawyers. For example, accounting firms have encroached on tax litigation, banks in the trusts and estates area, and financial planners in estate planning. In a series of cases, the United States Supreme Court has made it clear that lawyers …

This Article advocates for law schools to integrate family violence law further into their curricula and proffers reasons why family violence training is critical in preparing students to practice law. The authors posit that although live-client specialty clinics are the most in-depth way to teach family violence law, the topic should also be offered through doctrinal courses, externships, or general subject matter clinics. The Article then describes the authors' own experiences in cofounding a child advocacy clinic in New York City, outlining the steps taken to transform a vision into the actual formation of a clinic. Finally, the authors conclude …
