Introduction: Towards An Inclusive Professionalism, Peter Margulies Jan 1995

Introduction: Towards An Inclusive Professionalism, Peter Margulies

St. Thomas Law Review

The landscape of lawyering seems bewilderingly chaotic today, compared with images of practices past, replete with country clubs and white male practitioners.' Despite their exclusiveness, corporate law firms of old at least had some shared values, and some commitment to norms other than those generated by the market. Our society, as well as the legal profession, is more diverse than it was. The present-day invocation of professionalism is one reaction to the increased diversity of the legal profession, and to the vaulting prominence of market forces, which has reduced many lawyers in major firms to a race to the bottom …

Practiced Moral Activism, Paul R. Tremblay Jan 1995

Practiced Moral Activism, Paul R. Tremblay

St. Thomas Law Review

Readers of legal ethics literature frequently encounter the following question: "Can a good lawyer be a good person?" This Article addresses a variation of that question: "Can a good lawyer be a good person if that person is not a good philosopher?" This new question confronts a perplexing realization about most moral exploration of lawyering-that it takes place amidst a language and an intellectual world with which most practicing lawyers are not familiar or conversant. Of course, the philosophers inhabiting that world and using that language aim to affect the lives of working attorneys in some concrete way,but reading the …

The President's Welcome Address, Franklyn M. Casale

St. Thomas Law Review

Welcome to this symposium, fittingly entitled, "Tribal Sovereignty: Back to the Future?" hosted by the St. Thomas University Human Rights Institute and its School of Law. Many languages are spoken in this room, and especially in our South Florida area, but rarely do we hear the richness of the languages that we have experienced here in prayer. I thank those who have prayed with us in their own languages for adding to the richness of our already rich and diverse South Florida community here at St. Thomas University. I welcome you all. I welcome especially their excellencies, the various Chiefs …

"Solutions In Sciences Outside Of The Law!?" Rodriguez V. British Columbia (A.G.), Anne Jackman Apr 1994

"Solutions In Sciences Outside Of The Law!?" Rodriguez V. British Columbia (A.G.), Anne Jackman

Dalhousie Law Journal

While we are forced, somewhat begrudgingly, to face the fact that there are limitations to what medicine can achieve, we still seem to have an undisturbed faith in what law can achieve. The limitations to what litigation under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms' can achieve was highlighted most recently in the case of Rodriguez v. British Columbia (A.G.)2 where the Supreme Court of Canada, by a five to four margin, upheld the constitutionality of the assisted suicide provisions of the Criminal Code.3 The Court recognized that Ms. Rodriguez's rights were violated but concluded that the infringement did not …
