Naked Self-Interest? Why The Legal Profession Resists Gatekeeping, Sung Hui Kim Feb 2013

Naked Self-Interest? Why The Legal Profession Resists Gatekeeping, Sung Hui Kim

Florida Law Review

This Article asks and answers the following question: why does the legal profession resist gatekeeping? Or, put another way, why do lawyers resist duties that require them to act to avert harm to their corporate client, its own shareholders, and-possibly-the capital markets? While acknowledging that the economic self-interest of the profession is an undeniable force fueling the bar’s opposition to gatekeeping, this Article argues that the characterization of naked rent-seeking behavior is too simplistic. It argues that economic self-interest exerts a more subtle influence than the conventional story would suggest. In addition, the legal profession’s resistance to gatekeeping is grounded …

Proxy Citizenship And Transnational Advocacy: Colombian Activists From Putumayo To Washington, Dc, Winifred Tate Feb 2013

Proxy Citizenship And Transnational Advocacy: Colombian Activists From Putumayo To Washington, Dc, Winifred Tate

Faculty Scholarship

Proxy citizenship is the mechanism through which certain rights of citizenship—the ability to make claims for redress to a state—are conferred on activists through relationships with NGOs. Focusing on advocacy from within the policy process, U.S. and Colombian NGOs channeled political legitimacy and rights of access to Colombians, whose claims emerge from the experience of governance as articulated through testimony. This process, and its roots within the shared history of the Putumayo region of Colombia and Washington, DC, reveals emerging practices of citizenship claims and transnational political participation.

Caveat Taxpayer: How And Why The Internal Revenue Service May Examine Your Books, Your Accountant And Even Your Attorney, Brian E. Holthus Jan 2013

Caveat Taxpayer: How And Why The Internal Revenue Service May Examine Your Books, Your Accountant And Even Your Attorney, Brian E. Holthus

Pepperdine Law Review

The IRS is authorized, by the use of an administrative summons, to thoroughly inspect a taxpayer's business and financial background. Although the taxpayer's attorney may feel powerless to restrict this free flow of information, there are defined limitations to the use of an administrative summons. These limitations are designed to abrogate its abuse by the IRS. This comment provides a summary of the limitations of an administrative summons, case law interpretation of the requirements for its issuance, and practical considerations for the protection of the taxpayer's financial privacy.
