Litigation In The Consumer Interest, Geraint Howells, Rhoda James

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The identification of the consumer as a discrete party, entitled to specific legal rights, is a product of the latter half of the twentieth century. Looking back on the last four decades, one can now clearly detect a trend for special legislation protecting the interests of consumers.

Law School Externships: Building Another Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Martin A. Geer

Boyd School of Law.


Inclusive Boundaries And Other (Im)Possible Paths Toward Community Development In A Global World, Fran Ansley Nov 2001

Inclusive Boundaries And Other (Im)Possible Paths Toward Community Development In A Global World, Fran Ansley

Scholarly Works

This paper is based on a talk given at a University of Pennsylvania symposium on Social Movements and Law Reform. In it Professor Ansley takes as a case study the U.S. movement against plant closings. In the seventies, eighties and nineties this movement attempted to respond to the increasing flow of industrial capital from the U.S. to other countries. Like other social movements, it devoted a significant part of its energy to "framing" its issues - articulating and attempting to promote a particular way of looking at the issue of plant closings, de-industrialization, and the new international division of labor. …


Practicing Law In The Global Economy, Nancy L. Kaszak Nov 2001

Practicing Law In The Global Economy, Nancy L. Kaszak

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This essay is an edited version of a lecture given by Ms. Kaszak as part of the Francis X. Riley Lecture series at the Northern Illinois University College of Law. It begins by discussing the development of the global economy as resulting from technological developments, such as the personal computer, with the ability to connect globally via the internet, that combine with the relative ease of transporting goods and services across borders making the global economy a reality. It develops the global enterprise as the natural evolution of business in the redefined global economy. The piece then looks at the …

Are Medical Ethics Different From Legal Ethics?, Mervin H. Needell Jan 2001

Are Medical Ethics Different From Legal Ethics?, Mervin H. Needell

St. Thomas Law Review

In this paper I shall compare and contrast some relevant ethical positions of legal and medical precepts and practices which seem to suggest or predispose to a professional bias. I derive these conclusions from official positions contained in institutional accounts, such as case law or treatises. Even if such comparisons do not make a convincing case for professional bias, they should still provide some insight into the ways in which the thought processes of lawyers and doctors do or do not differ. Although the words "moral" and "ethical" are often used interchangeably, if a distinction must be made here, I …


Voluntariness With A Vengeance: Miranda And A Modern Alternative, Jonathan B. Zeitlin Jan 2001

Voluntariness With A Vengeance: Miranda And A Modern Alternative, Jonathan B. Zeitlin

St. Thomas Law Review

One of the most famous opinions in American jurisprudence is that of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Miranda v. Arizona. The Court's prophylactic rule in Miranda has been followed in both state and federal courts with little derogation for over thirty years. On February 8, 1999, in Dickerson v. United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ignored Miranda, turning instead to 18 U.S.C. § 3501, a relatively obscure federal statute enacted in 1968 in response to the Court's decision in Miranda. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari and heard oral …


Litigation Governance: A Gentle Critique Of The Third Circuit Task Force Report, John C. Coffee Jr. Jan 2001

Litigation Governance: A Gentle Critique Of The Third Circuit Task Force Report, John C. Coffee Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

The Third Circuit Task Force on the Selection of Class Counsel (the "Task Force") has worked hard, considered everything, and exhaustively summarized the problems associated with class counsel auctions. Its views will undoubtedly resonate with most of the Bench and the vast majority of the Bar-neither of whom were enthusiastic about the prospect of auctions in the first place. Personally, I agree with the Task Force that auctions are not the most promising reform and that they may exacerbate, rather than correct, existing problems. Still, what is missing from the Task Force Report is the candid recognition that the agency …

Hip-Hip-Hurray For Illinois Taxpayers, Or Is It Too Early To Cheer?: An Analysis Of In Re Consolidated Objections To Tax Levies Of School District No. 205, For Years 1991 Through 1996, Christina M. Cantlin-Vanwiggeren

The Law School Compensation Systems At Three Top Quartile Law Schools: Factors Correlating With Law Professors' Salaries And Suggestions, Bruce D. Fisher, Paul Bowen

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article is a study of the factors which may impact the salary levels of law professors. The authors employ various methods of statistical analysis to determine what association, if any, a variety of factors have to the level of a law professor's salary. These factors include the quality of the faculty, the amount of legal scholarship produced by professors, the seniority of faculty members and their gender. After examining the impact of these factors on the salaries of law professors, the authors then proceed to make several observations and recommendations for streamlining the salary levels of law professors.

Independent, Professional Judgment: The Essence Of Freedom, Bennett H. Brummer Jan 1998

Independent, Professional Judgment: The Essence Of Freedom, Bennett H. Brummer

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article will address the concept of professionalism from a criminal defense attorney's perspective and, more specifically, from the perspective of a public defender. The public defender mission is based on our ideals of freedom and equal justice under law. I have spent twenty-five years as a participant in, and observer of, our judicial system. Whether in government or professional circles, public defenders are often outsiders. We are often treated as the illegitimate children at the family reunion. It is from that perspective that I hope to be of some service to you.
