The Cocaine Addicted Lawyer And The Disciplinary System, Raymond P. O'Keefe

St. Thomas Law Review

This article will discuss cocaine addiction within the legal profession and its impact upon individual attorneys, clients, and the profession as a whole. It discusses different approaches that have been taken in Bar disciplinary proceedings and the need for professional sanctioning bodies to accept cocaine addiction as a disease, and recovery from it as a mitigating factor. It argues that admitting evidence of addiction and recovery as mitigation best serves the goals of the disciplinary proceeding, which are to 1) protect the public, 2) maintain the integrity of the legal profession,. and 3) preserve public confidence in the legal profession. …

The Scope Of Attorney Advertising In Illinois, Robert J. Franco, Anne Scheitlin Johnson

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Attorneys have long been allowed to advertise their services, with restrictions.

Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered V. United States: Seizing Attorney Fees-Frozen Assets Or Frozen Justice? The Sixth Amendment Right To Counsel Of Choice Is Given The Cold Shoulder, Anthony G. Vella

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This note examines the United States Supreme Court decision that found confiscation of criminal defense attorney fees under RICO and the continuing criminal enterprise statutes is permissible under the sixth amendment. The Court's reasoning is presented in this note. The note analyzes the Court's decision through the eyes of the dissenters and other commentators opposed to the result. The author concludes that this decision has rendered the sixth amendment right to counsel of choice an insubstantial right and damaged the integrity of the adversary system in our courts.

Doorkeepers: Legal Education In The Territories And Alberta, 1885-1928, Peter M. Sibenik

Dalhousie Law Journal

Legal education has been subjected to greater scrutiny in common law jurisdictions since the publication of Lawyers and the Courts in 1967.2 Most of the recent literature has addressed the issue of who received a legal education and became entitled to practise law. It has also examined how a conservative-minded profession regenerated itself, and whether it equipped new recruits with the proper tools to meet the challenges of a changing society.

The Role Of The Lawyer In Society, Wm. Reese Smith Jr.

St. Thomas Law Review

The task of adequately addressing the role of the lawyer in society is not without challenge because of the breadth and complexity of the subject. And necessarily, because my background has given me greater knowledge of the role of law and lawyers in the West, my analysis here draws heavily on the history and traditions of Western societies, while trying to be mindful of other legal traditions as well. Because the great difference among legal systems seems so obvious, perhaps one should begin by focusing on shared experiences in the development of the role of law in society. All legal …

Corporate Counsels' Lack Of Retaliatory Discharge Action, Nancy K. Renfer

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment examines the denial of a retaliatory discharge cause of action to corporate counsel. Such a denial was the result of judicial concern over the need to protect the attorney-client relationship. The author concludes that, as a result, corporate attorneys have fewer employment rights and protections than any of their fellow employees. This comment advocates three possible solutions through which corporate counsel may maintain a retaliatory discharge action.

The Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege: A Study Of The Participants, Vincent C. Alexander

Faculty Publications

Empirical research on the practical effects of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate context has been almost nonexistent. This Article seeks to help fill the gap by synthesizing traditional doctrinal analysis with the results of a survey of individuals with first-hand information about the subject: corporate attorneys, corporate management, and federal judges and magistrates. The survey, which consisted of 182 interviews in New York City, produced a broad range of information about some of the assumptions underlying the corporate privilege, the forms and processes of corporate attorney-client communications and the adjudication of privilege claims.

Illinois Home Rule And Taxation: A New Approach To Local Government Enabling Authority, James M. Banovetz, Thomas W. Kelty

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Article examines and assesses the use of the home rule powers which were granted to local governments by the 1970 Constitution. Focusing primarily on the power of taxation, the Article notes that the use of the home rule powers has been restrained and generally successful. The Article points to narrow judicial reactions, however, which may conflict with the apparent intent of the constitution's drafters to grant broad authority to local government under the home rule powers.

A discussion of the recent treatise on the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.

Lawyers In Business, Justin A. Stanley

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Article explores a new and interesting question in the area of professional responsibility: How should the legal profession deal with large law firms involved in non-legal businesses? The modern trend in today's large law firms towards offering non-legal financial and real estate investment and counseling services poses some difficult professional responsibility questions which this Article begins to explore. Mr. Stanley concludes that the American Bar Association, or some other appropriate agency, should move quickly to deal with this growing problem before the government takes steps to regulate in this area.
