Always Judged: A Case Study Of An Interview Using Conversation Analysis, Linda F. Smith Jan 2010

Always Judged: A Case Study Of An Interview Using Conversation Analysis, Linda F. Smith

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

Legal interviews are infrequently recorded and rarely studied. The few empirical studies of actual legal interviews have been primarily critical of the lawyers for being too controlling, eager to impose a solution on the clients, and uninterested in the message the clients want to convey. This article presents a case study of something heretofore unavailable – an experienced, expert attorney conducting a successful initial interview with an actual client. This article uses ethnographic conversation analysis to describe the interview in terms of question form, interruptions, control of the floor, and expressions of empathy. It relies upon the insights from prior …

The Need For A National Civil Justice Survey Of Incidence And Claiming Behavior, Theodore Eisenberg Jan 2010

The Need For A National Civil Justice Survey Of Incidence And Claiming Behavior, Theodore Eisenberg

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Civil justice issues – family law issues such as divorce and child custody, consumer victimization issues raised by questionable trade practices, and tort issues raised by surprisingly high estimated rates of medical malpractice, questionable prescription drug practices, and other behaviors – are part of the fabric of daily life. Yet we lack systematic quantitative knowledge about the primary events in daily life that generate civil justice issues. This paper explores the desirability of, and issues related to, creating a national civil justice survey (NCJS) analogous to the National Crime Victimization Survey. The need for information about civil justice issues and …

A National Security Puzzle: Mosaic Theory And The First Amendment Right Of Access In The Federal Courts, Michael P. Goodwin Jan 2010

A National Security Puzzle: Mosaic Theory And The First Amendment Right Of Access In The Federal Courts, Michael P. Goodwin

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This article examines the tension between sensitive national security information and transparency in the federal courts. Although courts are public institutions with long histories of public access, courts also have the power to restrict access to information if it poses a threat to national security. In a variety of contexts, restrictions on access have been justified by mosaic theory-the idea that even apparently innocuous information can be harmful to national security interests if pieced together by a knowledgeable observer, such as a foreign intelligence organization. This article traces the development of mosaic theory in the federal courts, and argues that …


Access To Knowledge Africa: The Role Of Copyright, Dick Kawooya Jan 2010

Access To Knowledge Africa: The Role Of Copyright, Dick Kawooya

A repository of copyright educational resources for higher education

The African Copyright and Access to Knowledge (ACA2K) Project, which ran from 2007 to 2011, probed the relationship between national copyright environments and access to learning materials in African countries. The project looked at this relationship within an access to knowledge (A2K) framework -- a framework which regards the protection/promotion of user access as one of the central objectives of copyright law.

What's Love Got To Do With It: Contemporary Lessons On Lawyerly Advocacy From The Preacher Martin Luther King, Jr., Deborah J. Cantrell Jan 2010

What's Love Got To Do With It: Contemporary Lessons On Lawyerly Advocacy From The Preacher Martin Luther King, Jr., Deborah J. Cantrell

St. Thomas Law Review

Lawyers have long been inspired by the advocacy work of Martin Luther King, Jr. From his work on the Montgomery bus boycott, to lunch counter sit-ins, to his March on Washington, Dr. King demonstrated skilled advocacy that resulted in important legal advancements. While lawyers give primacy to Dr. King as an advocate, Dr. King gave primacy to his work as a preacher. This article challenges the legal profession to consider the ways in which Dr. King, the preacher, may be as inspirational and instructive as Dr. King, the civil rights icon. Just as Dr. King's religious values were not abstracted …

Part II of this Comment discusses the development of pro se litigation from its historical roots to modern day concepts.

Part V examines the tremendous effect of pro se litigation on the court system and highlights areas of the law in which pro se litigants find it extremely difficult to survive a motion to …

Connecting Self-Representation To Civil Gideon: What Existing Data Reveal About When Counsel Is Most Needed, Russell Engler Jan 2010

Connecting Self-Representation To Civil Gideon: What Existing Data Reveal About When Counsel Is Most Needed, Russell Engler

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Over the past decade, the phenomenon of self-representation in civil cases has led to the development of programs designed to facilitate self-representation. A revitalized movement seeking to establish a civil right to counsel has emerged (civil Gideon, a civil right to counsel based on Gideon v. Wainwright), pressing for the expansion of the availability of counsel for the poor. What are the scenarios in which full representation by counsel is most needed? Part of this question involves policy choices as to the importance of what is at stake in the proceeding. Part of this question, however, is a research question: …


Higher Demand, Lower Supply? A Comparative Assessment Of The Legal Resource Landscape For Ordinary Americans, Gillian K. Hadfield Jan 2010

Higher Demand, Lower Supply? A Comparative Assessment Of The Legal Resource Landscape For Ordinary Americans, Gillian K. Hadfield

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Systematic efforts to assess the legal landscape for the ordinary citizen - what legal services cost and what fraction of that cost is for real value - have been few and far between. Most studies focus instead on the performance of the legal system for corporate clients or on the delivery of legal services to the poor as a form of charity or welfare assistance. This article reviews and compares the few existing legal needs studies and looks for the macro indicators of the extent to which resources across the economy as a whole are devoted to providing legal inputs …


The Challenges Of Calculating The Benefits Of Providing Access To Legal Services, J.J. Prescott Jan 2010

The Challenges Of Calculating The Benefits Of Providing Access To Legal Services, J.J. Prescott

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This essay explores how policymakers and other public-interested actors have empirically calculated the benefits of providing low-income access to legal services in the past, and how they might improve upon existing methods going forward. The author reviews, criticizes, and tries to build on two major civil justice needs studies, one published by the Legal Services Corporation in 2005 and the other by the American Bar Association in 1994. The author also briefly criticizes assertions that the public provision f services is necessarily counterproductive.


If We Don't Get Civil Gideon: Trying To Make The Best Of The Civil-Justice Market, Thomas D. Rowe Jr. Jan 2010

If We Don't Get Civil Gideon: Trying To Make The Best Of The Civil-Justice Market, Thomas D. Rowe Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article considers what market-oriented or market-regulation approaches might be most practical and helpful in trying to satisfy unmet civil legal-service needs and how much it appears that such approaches may be able to succeed in doing so.


Lawyerless Dispute Resolution: Rethinking A Paradigm, Jean R. Sternlight Jan 2010

Lawyerless Dispute Resolution: Rethinking A Paradigm, Jean R. Sternlight

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article suggests that our failure to focus on the possible need for representation in mediation and arbitration is fundamentally misguided. Although legal representation is no doubt more important in some contexts than others, it is wrong to make the binary assumption that legal representation is always more important in litigation than in ADR processes; legal representation may often be critically important in ADR processes. Because many disputes will be finally resolved in ADR and because legal representation can be equally or even more important in ADR than in litigation, we need to focus simultaneously on improving representation in both …

It has also been a year in which we left behind the role of …

Multijurisdictional Adr Practice: Lessons For Litigators, Kristen M. Blankley, Emily E. Root, John Minter Jan 2010

Multijurisdictional Adr Practice: Lessons For Litigators, Kristen M. Blankley, Emily E. Root, John Minter

Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications

As everything else in life has become more global, so has the practice of law. Lawyers commonly have clients and conduct work in states other than the ones in which they reside and are licensed. Transactional lawyers commonly work for clients in different states or put together deals that close in states other than the ones in which they are licensed. Litigators, too, often have clients in other states, participate in court proceedings in other states, and engage in both formal and informal discovery in other states. The work of the litigator poses even more questions if that litigator is …

What Judges Think Of The Quality Of Legal Representation, Richard A. Posner, Albert H. Yoon Jan 2010

What Judges Think Of The Quality Of Legal Representation, Richard A. Posner, Albert H. Yoon

Articles

Studying the legal profession poses several challenges. The evolution of law has moved lawyers away from a generalist practice towards increased specialization. This makes it difficult to compare lawyers across different practice areas meaningfully and to provide a comprehensive assessment of the legal profession. Judges are well situated to provide such an evaluation, given their experience and scope of cases. This Article reports the responses of federal and state judges to a survey we conducted in 2008. The questions relate to their perceptions of the quality of legal representation, generally and in criminal and civil cases; how the quality of …
