All The Wild Possibilities: Technology That Attacks Barriers To Access To Justice, Ronald W. Staudt

All Faculty Scholarship

Predicting how technology will affect the future of the legal profession is difficult and unreliable work. I have made my share of such predictions in the past thirty years, including foretelling the death of the paper casebook in law schools and vast improvements in law practice that would be triggered by computers and document assembly software. Neither of these two prophesies has yet been fulfilled. Yet a real success story has emerged based in part on my persistent optimism that technology can improve the delivery of legal services. A2J Author, a modest software tool that allows lawyers to build guided …

Boumediene’S Quiet Theory: Access To Courts And The Separation Of Powers., Stephen I. Vladeck

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

At the core of Justice Kennedy's majority opinion in Boumediene v. Bush are his repeated suggestions that habeas corpus is an integral aspect of the separation of powers, and that, as such, the writ remains relevant even when the individual rights of those who would seek its protections are unclear. And whereas some might view these passages as little more than rhetorical flourishes, it is difficult to understand the crux of Kennedy's analysis - of why the review available to the Guantanamo detainees failed to provide an adequate alternative to habeas corpus - without understanding the significance of his separation-of-powers …

'Once Upon A Time, In A Land Far, Far Away...' Lawyers And Clients Telling Stories About Ethics (And Everything Else), Carolyn Grose

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Framed by an analysis of two particular ethical rules and their application to specific situations, this piece uses the metaphor of storytelling to explore the lawyer's role as an effective and ethical client representative. Drawing from the experiences of two sets of clients and their lawyers, the piece proposes an approach to ethical regulation (as one component of the lawyer-client relationship) that requires the lawyer to engage in a deeply contextual analysis of the specific and particular ethical conflicts presented to him in any particular case; and work with his client to determine how to resolve those conflicts.

Alberta Legal Services Mapping Project: Action Plan Update, Glynnis Lieb

Canadian Forum on Civil Justice

In 2006, the Canadian Forum on Civil justice conducted the Self-Represented Litigant (SRL) Mapping Project. This Project aimed to gain a better understanding about SRLs in Alberta, what their legal needs are and what resources are available to them. Mapping for this project was conducted in three sites; Grand Prairie, Red Deer and Edmonton. Findings from this Project were strongly indicative of the lack of public understanding of the justice system and the need for easily accessible public legal information. Based on the recommendations from the SRL Mapping Project, Law Information Centres (LInCs) were established in all three jurisdictions.

Over Under Or Through: Physicians, Law, And Health Care Reform, William M. Sage

Faculty Scholarship

My purpose in this commentary is twofold. First, I want to offer a few thoughts on why the American medical profession sometimes has a hard time accepting law on its own terms. Second, I want to suggest that even “good law” from the perspective of the medical profession—should it overcome its habits of resistance—may still be bad health policy for the United States.

See No Evil: Applying A Labor Lens To Prostitute Organizing, Monica R. Moukalif

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

This Note examines labor organizing efforts of marginalized labor and, based on that examination, formulates a theory of what the author call "margins-organizing." It then applies that theory to the labor organizing efforts of sex workers. It argues that whatever one's feelings are about sex work itself, the separate work of labor organizing is as similar to and as valid as that of other marginalized workers. The hope is that by bringing sex workers within the margins-organizing lens, that group will be better able to form ties with, learn from, and teach other marginalized labor groups. Part I introduces the …

Collateral Children: Consequence And Illegality At The Intersection Of Foster Care And Child Support, Daniel L. Hatcher

All Faculty Scholarship

This Article is the third in a series addressing the conflict between state revenue maximization strategies and the missions of state agencies serving low-income children. The Article examines the policy of foster care cost recovery through child support enforcement. When children are removed from poor families and placed in foster care, federal law requires child welfare agencies to initiate child support obligations against the parents. Resulting payments do not benefit the children but are converted into a government funding stream to reimburse the costs of foster care. This cost recovery effort often subordinates the child welfare system’s primary goals of …
