A Synergistic Pedagogical Approach To First-Year Teaching, Jamie Abrams

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

The First “Colonial Frontier” Legal Writing Conference, held at Duquesne University School of Law, focused on Engendering Hope in the Legal Writing Classroom: Pedagogy, Curriculum, and Attitude. This conference built on the foundational work of Allison Martin and Kevin Rand in which these scholars call for educators to engender hope in law students to prepare them for practice. Martin and Rand conclude that hope is a predictor of students’ academic performance and psychological health during the first semester of law school and recommend that law professors “maintain and creat[e] hope in law students” by embracing five core principles. Martin and …

Corporations Beware: The Eighth Circuit Announces New Criteria For Parent Corporation Liability And Constructive Notice Of Harassment, Lawrence S. Hall

Missouri Law Review

In Sandoval v. American Building Maintenance Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit announced two very important principles affecting corporations in regard to harassment liability. First, in looking at parent-subsidiary corporate relationships, the court re-established a four-factor test, which was vacated by the Eighth Circuit in 2007, that determines whether a parent corporation can be held liable for the acts of its subsidiaries. Second, when looking at a hostile work environment claim, the Eighth Circuit held that events involving harassment at multiple locations of which the defendant corporation was aware can be admitted to show that …

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

This article summarizes the legislative process in Arkansas. It lists and provides descriptions of Arkansas's primary sources of legislation, including print and online resources. An examination of case law focuses on this question: what do Arkansas appellate courts mean when they say they consider legislative history in determining the intent of the legislature; specifically, what types of information will the courts consider? A brief discussion of several general rules of statutory construction in Arkansas precedes an examination of specific sources the courts have relied on. These sources include House and Senate Journals, act titles, preambles, emergency clauses, official commentary, executive …

Shadow Lawyering: Nonlawyer Practice Within Law Firms, Paul R. Tremblay

Indiana Law Journal

Lawyers commonly associate with nonlawyers to assist in their performance of lawyering tasks. A lawyer cannot know with confidence, though, whether the delegation of some tasks to a nonlawyer colleague might result in her assisting in the unauthorized practice of law, because the state of the law and the commentary about nonlawyer practice is so confused and incoherent. Some respected authority within the profession tells the lawyer that she may only delegate preparatory matters and must prohibit the nonlawyer from discussing legal matters with clients, or negotiating on behalf of clients. Other authority suggests that the lawyer may delegate a …

Lawyering At The Intersection Of Public Law And Legal Ethics: Government Lawyers As Custodians Of The Rule Of Law, Adam M. Dodek

Dalhousie Law Journal

Government lawyers are significant actors in the Canadian legal profession, yet they are largely ignored by regulators and by academic scholarship. The dominant view of lawyering fails to adequately capture the unique role of government lawyers. Government lawyers are different from other lawyers by virtue of their role in creating and upholding the rule of law Most accounts of government lawyers separate public law duties of government from ethical duties of lawyers; for example, acknowledging the "public interest" role ofgovernment lawyers but asserting that this has no impact on their ethical duties as lawyers. Instead of this compartmentalized approach, this …

Harmonization Of International Legal Structure For Fostering Professional Services: Lessons From Early U.S. Federal-State Relations, Amar Gupta, Deth Sao

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

In the current global marketplace, liberalization of trade in professional services (services) presents both big challenges and profitable opportunities for the international community. Changes in technology and state-privatization polices over the past half century have made services the fastest growing sector in international trade. Despite such a transformation, the potential for further innovation and expansion in services industries is in jeopardy. In response to public-policy initiatives, regulatory concerns, and political pressures to protect domestic jobs and industries, states have adopted a plethora of discriminatory and restrictive policies against trade in services. Because existing international legal mechanisms are ill-equipped to resolve …
