Aiding Clinical Education Abroad: What Can Be Gained And The Learning Curve On How To Do So Effectively, Leah Wortham Jan 2006

Aiding Clinical Education Abroad: What Can Be Gained And The Learning Curve On How To Do So Effectively, Leah Wortham

Scholarly Articles

The author advocates donor support for clinical education projects abroad and outlines the minimal requisites that she would have for such projects - direct experience with disadvantaged clients, faculty involvement, and sincerity and integrity of organizers. She cautions against funders and consultants pressing new clinics to fit American clinical models. She provides sample reporting questions that would require projects to reflect on goals sought and results achieved. She draws lessons for efforts to assist clinics abroad from critiques of the law and development movement (LDM), the last major international initiative in legal education reform; more recent efforts termed the New …

A Double Standard For Lawyer Dishonesty: Billing Fraud Versus Misappropriation, Lisa G. Lerman Jan 2006

A Double Standard For Lawyer Dishonesty: Billing Fraud Versus Misappropriation, Lisa G. Lerman

Scholarly Articles

In this Article, I examine the dishonest billing practices alleged to have occurred and the analysis of the dishonesty by the Hearing Committee and the court. I offer a critique of the investigation of the case, the findings of fact and the legal standards applied. I compare this billing fraud case to the leading case on misappropriation of client funds in the District of Columbia. I argue that the decision-makers (Hearing Committee, Board on Professional Responsibility, and court of appeals) have gone to great lengths to avoid addressing the very grave dishonesty that led to this disciplinary matter. I speculate …

Personal Jurisdiction For Internet Torts: Towards An International Solution, Holger P. Hestermeyer Jan 2006

Personal Jurisdiction For Internet Torts: Towards An International Solution, Holger P. Hestermeyer

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

As an introduction to the issue of Internet tort jurisdiction, Part I will recount the Yahoo! case, the most divisive case on the issue recently. Parts II and III will give an overview of the current law on Internet tort jurisdiction in two different legal systems: the United States and Germany. They will show that several recent cases in both countries have applied targeting approaches as advocated by Michael Geist and Rufus Pichler. However, insecurity remains and jurisprudence is far from consistent. Part IV will argue that insecurity about Internet jurisdiction could be reduced significantly if countries were to commit …

Same Plant, Different Soil: Japan's New Merger Guidelines Symposium On Competition Law And Policy In Developing Countries, Salil K. Mehra Jan 2006

Same Plant, Different Soil: Japan's New Merger Guidelines Symposium On Competition Law And Policy In Developing Countries, Salil K. Mehra

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Japan's New Merger Guidelines ("New Merger Guidelines"), issued by the Japan Fair Trade Commission ("JFTC") in May 2004, mark a turning point for antitrust in Japan. It is likely that Japan's New Merger Guidelines will be seen as a model for legal transplants in the future. Despite the similarities between Japan's New Merger Guidelines and the U.S. Horizontal Merger Guidelines ("U.S. Merger Guidelines"), Japan's New Merger Guidelines are unlikely to be a "success" in the same way that the U.S. Merger Guidelines have been a success since their adoption by the American competition agencies. Although Japan is far from a …

A Minor Conundrum: Contracting With Minors In Canada For Film And Television Producers, Bob Tarantino Jan 2006

A Minor Conundrum: Contracting With Minors In Canada For Film And Television Producers, Bob Tarantino

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Concerns surrounding the enforcement of a contract with minors have plagued the entertainment industry, particularly in the areas of film and television. Amidst a confusing hodgepodge of laws, various North American jurisdictions have responded with a series of judicial decisions and legislative initiatives. These changes have increased marketplace certainty for the benefit of film producers and the minors with which they do business. The Canadian province of Ontario, however, remains without the benefit of such a regime of laws, creating uncertainty in Ontario's film and television marketplace. If Ontario wishes to develop as a major film and television production center, …

The (Neglected) Importance Of Being Lawrence: The Constitutionalization Of Public Employee Rights To Decisional Non-Interference In Private Affairs, Paul M. Secunda Jan 2006

The (Neglected) Importance Of Being Lawrence: The Constitutionalization Of Public Employee Rights To Decisional Non-Interference In Private Affairs, Paul M. Secunda

Faculty Publications

This paper argues that whatever debates continue to stew regarding the true meaning of Lawrence v. Texas, at the very least, Lawrence represents the recognition of an individual's heightened interest in decisional non-interference in private affairs. This is an important constitutional development since a problem under the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions only arises when the government offers a benefit, like government employment, conditioned on the waiver of a preferred constitutional right. Thus, a government employer, post-Lawrence, should be prohibited, under the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions, from firing a government employee who exercises her rights to decisional non-interference in private affairs. …

Nothing New In The (North) East? Interpreting The Rhetoric And Reality Of Japanese Corporate Governance, Luke R. Nottage Jan 2006

Nothing New In The (North) East? Interpreting The Rhetoric And Reality Of Japanese Corporate Governance, Luke R. Nottage

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

Japan finally seems to be pulling itself out of its "lost decade" (and a half) of economic stagnation. Some grudgingly or triumphantly attribute this to micro-economic reforms, freeing up arthritic markets, although there is also evidence that macro-economic policy failures have been a major cause of poor performance since the 1990s. Many point to overlapping transformations in corporate governance, broadly defined to cover relationships among managers and employees as well as between firms and outside shareholders, creditors, and other stakeholders. These relationships are in flux, with moves arguably favouring shareholders and more market-driven control mechanisms. It has certainly been a …

A Tribute To Judge Bo Vesterdorf, Roger J. Goebel Jan 2006

A Tribute To Judge Bo Vesterdorf, Roger J. Goebel

Fordham International Law Journal

Judge Bo Vesterdorf retires this fall after serving as Judge on the Court of First Instance (“CFI”) since its inauguration on September 25, 1989, acting as its President for three successive terms since 1998. It is accordingly highly appropriate that the editors of the Fordham International Law Journal (“ILJ”) should dedicate this annual issue devoted to European Union (“EU”) law to Judge Vesterdorf as an eminent jurist who has significantly contributed to the development of the CFI's jurisprudence, and also provided able pragmatic leadership as its presiding judge. The ILJ can be considered to act on behalf of the entire …

Are You Misappropriating Client Funds - Missouri's Iolta Plan After Mottl, Timothy D. Steffens Jan 2006

Are You Misappropriating Client Funds - Missouri's Iolta Plan After Mottl, Timothy D. Steffens

Missouri Law Review

In Mottl v. Missouri Lawyer Trust Account Foundation, the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District addressed the constitutionality of Missouri's IOLTA program for the first time and held that participation in Missouri's IOLTA program is not state action because of the voluntary nature of the program. 6 By so deciding, the court shifted liability for participation in the program from the state to private attorneys and law firms. As a result, an attorney must inform a client during initial consultation that the attorney or the attorney's firm voluntarily participates in the IOLTA program and that, as a result …

World Without Trials, A, Marc Galanter Jan 2006

World Without Trials, A, Marc Galanter

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Imagine some friendly visitors to America-from Europe or Asia or even from Mars-who are seeking to comprehend the American legal system. Our Martian visitors would have seen A Civil Action and The Runaway Jury at the Red Canal multiplex and surely they have seen syndicated episodes of the ubiquitous Law and Order. Upon arrival they turn on the TV news in their hotel room and scan the newspaper slipped under the door and find both saturated with accounts of square-jawed wife murderers, egomaniacal corporate executives, and freakish entertainers on trial. Unsurprisingly, our visitors readily conclude that the trial is the …

Worlds In A Small Room, Christopher Honeyman

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In the lead article of this symposium, Marc Galanter points out that steeply declining trial rates hold true across a variety of trial genres, including state and federal courts, criminal and civil matters, and even federal administrative agencies' own trial equivalents. This brief essay will explore a new setting in which to examine Galanter's thesis.

A Legal Career For All Seasons: Remembering St. Thomas More’S Vocation, Veryl Victoria Miles Jan 2006

A Legal Career For All Seasons: Remembering St. Thomas More’S Vocation, Veryl Victoria Miles

Scholarly Articles

The vast majority of the work taking place in most law schools is the preparation of law students for the practice of law; namely, to teach legal theory and doctrine, legal analysis, writing, and advocacy. In sum, the goal of most law schools is to teach the many different skills required in law practice and the professional rules of legal ethics. What appears to be lacking in the preparation of future lawyers are lessons on how to incorporate this vast amount of specialized learning and skill in ways that will be harmonious with the personal, moral, and ethical values that …

Nebraska Law Review

Regulation of lawyer conduct in the State of Nebraska. Upon the Nebraska Supreme Court's adoption of the Nebraska Rules of Professional Conduct ("Nebraska Rules") through its ruling on In re Petition of the Nebraska State Bar Association to Adopt Rules of Professional Conduct Governing Attorneys, the state shed its distinct position as one of only six jurisdictions not yet utilizing some form of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The new system represents the first complete revision of the professional ethical standards to which Nebraska lawyers are held accountable since the adoption of the Code of Professional Responsibility ("Nebraska …
