Entertainment Law - The Specter Of Malpractice Claims And Disciplinary Actions, John Sahl

Akron Law Faculty Publications

There is significant risk today that lawyers will become the target of a disciplinary or legal malpractice action, especially given the complexity of the law and advances in technology that reduce the amount of time that lawyers have to reflect about client matters. This risk is heightened by the increased competition in the bar to deliver legal services in a cost-effective manner, the sophistication of clients who expect competent, efficient and reasonably priced services, and the litigious nature of consumers. The risk is further exacerbated by the ever-changing methods and rules for electronic communication and the storage of information. The …

Meeting Saint Vincent's Challenge In Providing Assistance To The Foreign-Born Poor: Applying The Lessons To The Asylum And Immigration Law Clinic, Sioban Albiol J.D.

Vincentian Studies

The Asylum and Immigration Law Clinic of DePaul College of Law furthers Vincent de Paul’s mission of caring for poor persons. It extends the protection of the law to low-income immigrants and asylum seekers by giving them access to legal advice that they so often lack. Background on US immigration law and its punitive effects on the poor is provided. Catholic social teaching with regard to immigration is summarized. Vincent de Paul was a migrant himself, and his approach to missions and other works indicates his special concern for foreigners. An important comparison is made between Vincent’s extension of access …

Prescribing Orthodoxy, Kelly Sarabyn

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the constitutional implications of government actions that compel ideological conformity, particularly focusing on the First Amendment's prohibition against coerced ideological speech. It argues that while the Supreme Court has established that the government cannot force citizens to adopt specific ideological beliefs, the legal framework remains unclear and inconsistent. The analysis emphasizes the need for a structured approach to determine when such coercion crosses constitutional boundaries, especially in cases involving captive audiences and government speech. The author proposes that the prohibition on prescribing orthodoxy should explicitly ban the use of nonrational methods to influence citizens' beliefs, ensuring a …

Law School Programs That Reduce Poverty: The Example Of The Chiapas Human Rights Practicum, Leonard L. Cavise J.D.

Vincentian Studies

The purpose of the Chiapas Human Rights Practicum of DePaul University College of Law is to expose students to poverty in the hopes that they will choose careers in human rights or public service. Reasons why traditional law school programs do not encourage public service are delineated. The practicum’s history and the experiences and observations of students who have participated are described. The program encourages students to think about the causes of poverty, how they might effect change as lawyers, and how the legal system might better serve poor persons. The Chiapas experience has inspired students to undertake many different …

Advertising Competition In Retail Markets, Kyle Bagwell, Gea M. Lee

Research Collection School Of Economics

We consider non-price advertising by retail firms that are privately informed as to their respective production costs. We construct an advertising equilibrium, in which informed consumers use an advertising search rule whereby they buy from the highest-advertising firm. Consumers are rational in using the advertising search rule, since the lowest-cost firm advertises the most and also selects the lowest price. Even though the advertising equilibrium facilitates productive effi ciency, we establish conditions under which firms enjoy higher expected profit when advertising is banned. Consumer welfare falls in this case, however. Under free entry, social surplus is higher when advertising is …

An Offer They Can't Refuse: Racial Disparity In Juvenile Justice And Deliberate Indifference Meet Alternatives That Work, Edgar Cahn, Cynthia Robbins

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

While young people of all races commit delinquent acts, some are provided treatment while others are detained and incarcerated. Once incarcerated, these youth begin their slide down a slippery slope; they lack an equal opportunity to gather evidence and prepare their cases. Furthermore, they will be effectively deprived of the opportunity and the resources to develop the educational and employment skills necessary to progress to productive adult lives. It is well documented that juveniles of color are more likely than their white counterparts to be arrested,1 referred to juvenile court rather than to diversion programs, charged,waived to adult court, detained …

Faqs About Employees And Employee Benefits, Pamela Perun

Memos and Fact Sheets

This primer is an introduction to the basic laws of employee benefits. It is often assumed that there are legal impediments to employers providing benefits to phased retirees, part-time workers and the contingent workforce. From a benefits law perspective, this is really not true. By statute, self-employed workers are sometimes excluded from plans required to be employee-only but employers face few other prohibitions when designing their plans.

From an employer’s perspective, there are far more impediments to excluding these workers from their benefit plans than including them. Tax law provides incentives to employers who sponsor plans and to workers who …

The Power Of Peer Learning, Fannette Modek

New England Journal of Public Policy

My contact with the Boston–Haifa Project started at about the same time that the Seniors Lobby–Haifa saw the light of day. I was fortunate to have participated in the very first Seminar for NGOs in Haifa, held in January 2005. Several representatives of Haifa’s NGOs joined a group of leaders of Boston NGOs for a three-day seminar that put social-change issues on the table: Leadership, Organization, the Social Sector, Advocacy, and Conflict Management. The Power of Vision closing session generated a statement that by 2015, fifteen groups of U.S. social workers and gerontologists would visit Israel to study community-based services …
