Lafler And Frye: A New Constitutional Standard For Negotiation, Rishi Batra Jan 2013

Lafler And Frye: A New Constitutional Standard For Negotiation, Rishi Batra

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The Sixth Amendment guarantees "[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right ... to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense." In 1984 the Supreme Court in Strickland v. Washington established the standard for ineffective assistance of counsel that is a violation of this right. In a pair of decisions handed down in 2012, Lafler v. Cooper and Missouri v. Frye, the Supreme Court extended the holding in Strickland to cover ineffective assistance by defense counsel in the plea-bargaining phase. Recognizing that pleas account for ninety-five percent of all criminal convictions, the court stated that "the negotiation …


The Lawyer With The Adr Tattoo, Jennifer W. Reynolds Jan 2013

The Lawyer With The Adr Tattoo, Jennifer W. Reynolds

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Article considers whether ADR presents a branding problem for legal professionals and, if so, how those professionals can reclaim the brand in productive, career-affirming ways. Whether one should self-identify as proponent, practitioner, or scholar of alternative practices implicates broad tensions not only around assimilating with integrity into any longstanding change-resistant profession, but also around the shortcomings of the adversarial system and the legitimacy of ADR.


People V. Diaz, Senate Bill 914 And The Fourth Amendment, Caitlin Keane Jan 2013

People V. Diaz, Senate Bill 914 And The Fourth Amendment, Caitlin Keane

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

After the Diaz decision in January, Senator Mark Leno, a Democrat representing San Francisco, took matters into his own hands and drafted Senate Bill 914. In short, the bill would have overturned the Court's decision and required law enforcement to obtain a search warrant from a neutral magistrate before searching arrestees' portable electronic devices. The bill passed with overwhelming support from both political parties in the State Assembly and State Senate and needed only Governor Brown's signature or tacit approval to become law. Governor Brown vetoed the bill in October 2011, stating, "[t]he courts are better suited to resolve the …


The Impact Of Rankings And Rules On Legal Education Reform Essay, David Yellen Jan 2013

The Impact Of Rankings And Rules On Legal Education Reform Essay, David Yellen

Connecticut Law Review

Legal education is experiencing intense pressures and is undergoing profound changes. Two important forces that help shape and limit the nature and scope of legal education reform are the U.S. News & World Report rankings and the American Bar Association’s accreditation standards. The push and pull of these forces helps explain why law schools are embracing some changes and resisting others.


U.K. Refugee Lawyers: Pushing The Boundaries Of Domestic Court Acceptance Of International Human Rights Law, Stephen Meili Jan 2013

U.K. Refugee Lawyers: Pushing The Boundaries Of Domestic Court Acceptance Of International Human Rights Law, Stephen Meili

Articles

This Article analyzes how refugee lawyers in the United Kingdom navigate the tension between state power and international norms. Based on interviews with lawyers representing persons seeking asylum and other forms of refugee protection in the United Kingdom, the Article reveals how these lawyers successfully utilize international human rights treaties on behalf of their clients despite domestic policies making it more difficult for refugees to assert their rights. The Article argues that U.K. refugee lawyers play a critical role in the globalization struggle by encouraging state actors (in this case, the judiciary) to adhere to international norms that might otherwise …

The Project Model Of Clinical Education, Anna Carpenter Jan 2013

The Project Model Of Clinical Education, Anna Carpenter

Faculty Articles

In clinical legal education, there is growing interest in the development of project-based clinical work, which includes a broad range of activities, such as legislative and policy reform, community economic development and community legal education. In the project model, students use non-litigation advocacy strategies to solve challenging legal problems for clients and engage a broad range of multidimensional legal skills, including complex problem-solving, strategic planning, project management, and professional communication skills. Clinical scholarship on project-based learning has suggested that key pedagogical methods, particularly maximizing role assumption and student ownership of clinic work, must be compromised in projects due to the …

Free Fall: The Online Market's Consumer Preference Disconnect, Katherine J. Strandburg Jan 2013

Free Fall: The Online Market's Consumer Preference Disconnect, Katherine J. Strandburg

Faculty Articles

Do Internet users “pay” for online products and services with personal data? The common analogy between online data collection for behaviorally targeted advertising and payment for purchases is seriously misleading. There is no functioning market based on exchanges of personal information for access to online products and services. In a functioning market, payment of a given price signals consumer demand for particular goods and services, transmitting consumer preferences to producers. Data collection serves as “payment” in that critical sense only if its transfer from users to collectors adequately signals user preferences for online goods and services. It does not. Indeed, …

Legal Education And Professional Skills: Myths And Misconceptions About Theory And Practice, Kate Kruse Jan 2013

Legal Education And Professional Skills: Myths And Misconceptions About Theory And Practice, Kate Kruse

Faculty Scholarship

Current critiques of legal education push law schools toward seemingly contradictory goals: (1) provide more practical training to a greater number of students; and (2) lower operational costs. This article addresses those who have a sincere desire to meet both goals. Although it offers a proposal for restructuring legal education, its primary focuses is on the mental and psychological barriers — the mistakes in thinking — that prevent law faculties from engaging in substantial. At the deepest level is a basic myth: that professional education can meaningfully separate theory from practice. This myth divides legal education into a series of …

Bad Briefs, Bad Law, Bad Markets: Documenting The Poor Quality Of Plaintiffs' Briefs, Its Impact On The Law, And The Market Failure It Reflects, Scott A. Moss

Emory Law Journal

For a major field, employment discrimination suffers surprisingly low-quality plaintiffs[apostrophe] lawyering. This Article details a study of several hundred summary judgment briefs, finding as follows: (1) the vast majority of plaintiffs¿ briefs omit available caselaw rebutting key defense arguments, many falling far below basic professional standards with incoherent writing or no meaningful research; (2) low-quality briefs lose at over double the rate of good briefs; and (3) bad briefs skew caselaw evolution, because even controlling for win[emdash]loss rate, bad plaintiffs[apostrophe] briefs far more often yield decisions crediting debatable defenses.
