The Impeachment Of The Judges Of The Nova Scotia Supreme Court, 1787-1793: Colonial Judges, Loyalist Lawyers, And The Colonial Assembly, Jim Phillips Oct 2011

The Impeachment Of The Judges Of The Nova Scotia Supreme Court, 1787-1793: Colonial Judges, Loyalist Lawyers, And The Colonial Assembly, Jim Phillips

Dalhousie Law Journal

In 1790 the Nova Scotia House of Assembly passed seven "articles of impeachment" against two ofthe colony's Supreme Courtjudges, the firstattempt bya British North American assembly to remove superior courtjudges. Although the impeachment failed when the British government rejected the charges, it is noteworthy nonetheless. The product of a dispute between newly arrived loyalist lawyers and a local elite of "old inhabitants, " it was at one and the same time a political struggle between the Assembly and the executive branch, and one that involved concerns about judicial competence. The impeachment crisis also demonstrates the close links between the judiciary …

What Is Wrong About Wrongdoing, Anthony J. Sebok Oct 2011

What Is Wrong About Wrongdoing, Anthony J. Sebok

Articles

This short article, which was prepared for a conference on civil recourse theory at Florida State University School of Law, asks whether Blackstone’s rejection of maintenance is inconsistent with the theoretical commitments of modern civil recourse theory. Blackstone strongly believed that third parties should not help victims of wrongdoing discover that they have been wronged, this article asks whether modern civil recourse theory is committed to the position (now in retreat throughout common law nations) that third parties who help strangers’ lawsuits are acting against the public interest (or, as Blackstone put it, are “pests of society . . . …


Up Against The Wall: A Guide To The Effective Screening Of Former Government Attorneys In New York, Shira Mizrahi Oct 2011

Up Against The Wall: A Guide To The Effective Screening Of Former Government Attorneys In New York, Shira Mizrahi

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note examines New York Rule of Professional Conduct 1.11, which governs conflicts of interest for former government attorneys transitioning to private practice. It highlights the rule's strict requirements for screening to prevent conflicts and the "appearance of impropriety" standard, which allows courts to disqualify firms even without evidence of wrongdoing. The analysis critiques the rule's effectiveness, particularly in small firms, and proposes reforms to balance public trust, client interests, and attorneys' career mobility.

Lawyering Beyond Without Leaving Individual Clients Behind, April Land Oct 2011

Lawyering Beyond Without Leaving Individual Clients Behind, April Land

Faculty Scholarship

As clinical teachers answer the exciting call to move beyond the traditional model of individual client representation, we should not leave behind the vital lessons that law students learn from individual clients. Individual representation is ideal for teaching law students lawyering skills and values in a human context. Representing individual clients gives students the opportunity to experience full ownership over representation, to experience the role of the attorney, and to feel the profound weight of professional responsibility. Representationof individual clients also grounds the social justice objectives that clinical programs seek to achieve. As clinical programs and other areas of law …

This Time It’S For Real: Using Law-Related Current Events In The Classroom, Amy R. Stein Oct 2011

This Time It’S For Real: Using Law-Related Current Events In The Classroom, Amy R. Stein

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Using law-related current events in the classroom is a great way to engage first-year students, as well as help them develop the habit of keeping up-to-date on the current state of the law. A legal writing teacher does not have to look far to find real news stories with a legal angle that provide a teachable moment. Using the same factual scenario throughout the semester to illustrate various legal writing concepts provides continuity and gives the students the sense that they are representing an actual client.

Judges, Lawyers, And A Predictive Theory Of Legal Complexity, Benjamin H. Barton Sep 2011

Judges, Lawyers, And A Predictive Theory Of Legal Complexity, Benjamin H. Barton

College of Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article uses public choice theory and the new institutionalism to discuss the incentives, proclivities, and shared backgrounds of lawyers and judges. In America every law-making judge has a single unifying characteristic; each is a former lawyer. This shared background has powerful and unexplored effects on the shape and structure of American law. This Article argues that the common interests, thought-processes, training, and incentives of Judges and lawyers lead inexorably to greater complexity in judge-made law. These same factors lead to the following prediction: judge-created law will be most complex in areas where a) elite lawyers regularly practice; b) judges …
