Access To Justice: The Use Of Contingent Fee Arrangements By Public Officials To Vindicate Public Rights, Neil F. X. Kelly, Fidelma L. Fitzpatrick

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the legality and efficacy of contingent fee agreements in public nuisance litigation, particularly in the context of childhood lead poisoning cases. It argues that such agreements are valid, ethical, and necessary for governments to pursue justice and remediation in cases where public health and safety are at risk. The analysis focuses on the landmark Rhode Island case against lead pigment manufacturers, highlighting how contingent fee arrangements ensure fair representation and accountability without compromising due process or impartiality.

Walking The Path Of The Law: How Law Graduates Navigate Career Choices And Tolerate Jobs That Fail To Meet Expectations, Deborah J. Cantrell, Elizabeth Levy Paluck, Heather Lord, April Smith

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article presents a longitudinal study of Yale Law School graduates from 1970 to 1999, analyzing their career paths, job satisfaction, and gender differences in professional experiences. It highlights the prevalence of career transitions, with many graduates moving from private practice to academia, government, or public interest roles. The study reveals significant gender disparities in job satisfaction and work-life balance, while challenging common assumptions about legal careers, such as the notion that women abandon private practice more frequently than men. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding career dynamics to improve support systems for law graduates.

Allies Not Adversaries: Teaching Collaboration To The Next Generation Of Doctors And Lawyers To Address Social Inequality, Elizabeth Tobin Tyler

Pro Bono Collaborative Staff Publications

Recent reports from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as well as from other medical and legal educators, stress that professional training of doctors and lawyers focuses too narrowly on knowledge-based learning, and not enough on context-based problem solving, professionalism, and ethics. Tracing recent calls from both legal and medical educators to increase the teaching of ethics, social responsibility, the lawyer-client and doctor-patient relationship, and holistic problem-solving, this article offers a model of interdisciplinary medical-legal education focused on developing practitioners sensitive to the needs of diverse and disenfranchised clients and patients. It highlights a burgeoning medical-legal partnership model, …

Pressures Toward Mediocrity In The Representation Of Children, Barbara Glesner Fines Jan 2008

Pressures Toward Mediocrity In The Representation Of Children, Barbara Glesner Fines

Faculty Works

When children are the subject of dependency, adoption or guardianship proceedings, protecting those children requires attention to a variety of interests. Children need a voice: an advisor and an advocate whose judgment is unclouded by conflicting interests. Courts need information that the adult parties to the proceedings may not easily discover or willingly provide. The families and social services agencies need monitors and mediators. The attorney guardian ad litem (GAL) is, in many situations, called upon to meet all these needs. During the past decade, major academic conferences and professional organizations have devoted thousands of hours to developing standards of …

Following this introduction, Part II evaluates the effectiveness of the BAPCPA by measuring bankruptcy filing rates pre- and post-enactment and examines the losses disclosed by some of the largest credit lenders who lobbied for the bill. Part III discusses the legal challenges to BAPCPA that have already appeared in federal court. Part IV explains some of the more heavily-criticized shortcomings of the BAPCPA. This comment concludes with a brief discussion of the root causes of bankruptcy that remain unaffected by the passage of the BAPCPA.

Really Leaving No Child Behind: How The Supreme Court's Student Speech Doctrine Compromises Modern Education Reform - And How It Can Use The In Loco Parentis Doctrine To Change It, Scott J. Street

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

tudent speech" doctrine defined by Tinker in favor of an in loco parentis standard that defers to the expertise of school officials in maintaining a safe, effective, and orderly school environment.
