Introduction – 21st Century Law, Technology And Ethics: The Lawyer’S Role As A Public Citizen Serving The Public Good, Irma S. Russell

Faculty Works

The lawyer's role as a "public citizen" also involves a duty to "seek improvement of the law." Changing technology has changed the way lawyers practice law. As public citizens lawyers have an affirmative commitment to the social goal of a just society. Ethical issues arise in the use of technology in society, and lawyers play a central role in social ordering. The idea that advocates in an adversary system have special responsibilities is not new.

McVay, who was employed part-time and took home less than $160 per week after taxes, claimed that after paying his basic living expenses he had no money left with which to hire an attorney. A South Carolina court disagreed and denied McVay's requestfor appointed counsel. ' Seven years later, Scott Peterson was arrested for the murder of his wife and unborn child in California.

The "Proof" Of Foreign Normative Facts Which Influence Domestic Rules, Frederic Bachand

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article concerns the ascertainment by judges of normative facts that emanate from within foreign legal orders and must be taken into consideration in the interpretation of domestic rules. The author proposes an analytical approach which is based on three ideas. First, judges must remain in control of the process aimed at ascertaining such facts. Because the interpretation of domestic rules is at stake, they cannot remain passive and rule solely on the basis of the information adduced by the parties, as they normally do while ascertaining the contents of foreign rules under a classic conflict of laws scenario. Second, …

Domestic Violence And The Danger Of Joint Custody Presumptions, Judith G. Greenberg

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article points out that the current trend towards joint custody as the preference or presumption in divorces can create some unwanted side-effects. Specifically, joint custody is dangerous for victims of spousal abuse because it allows, and sometimes even facilitates, the continuation of patterns of abuse. Although many jurisdictions that apply a joint custody presumption attempt to protect victims of domestic violence, neither of the two usual approaches is successful in protecting the victims and their children. As a result, the author makes two recommendations. First, statutes should never create a presumption in favor of joint custody. Second, courts should …

Ranking Law Schools: A Market Test?, Cass R. Sunstein

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Instead of ranking law schools through statistical aggregations of expert judgments, or by combining a list of heterogeneous factors, it would be possible to rely on a market test, simply by examining student choices. This tournament-type approach would have the large advantage of relying on the widely dispersed information that students actually have; it would also reduce reliance on factors that can be manipulated (and whose manipulation does no good other than to increase rankings). On the other hand, a market test has several problems as a measure of law school quality, partly because cognitive biases and social influences may …

Vacatur Of Labor Arbitration Awards: Watering Down The Supreme Court's Drawn From The Essence Precedent May Sound The Death Knell For Labor Arbitration , Jonathan R. Waldron

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In CITGO Asphalt Ref. Co. v. Paper, Allied-Indus., Chem., & Energy Workers Int'l Union Local No. 2-991, the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, while merely giving lip service to Supreme Court precedent, further contributes to the situation where many circuit courts insidiously refuse to follow the Supreme Court's prohibition against reaching the merits of a labor arbitrator's award. It would appear that only through renewed Supreme Court vigilance and clarity can this trend be impeded.

Poverty And Communitarianism: Toward A Community Based Welfare System, Michele E. Gilman

All Faculty Scholarship

This Article analyzes how communitarian political theory addresses poverty and impacts American social welfare programs. For several decades, communitarian and liberal philosophers have debated how best to achieve justice through their competing notions of personhood. Whereas liberal theorists stress the values of individual autonomy and state neutrality, communitarians assert that people are socially constituted and that liberalism therefore pays too little attention to the value of community. Yet despite their attempts to articulate a superior form of justice, communitarian theorists either ignore or misunderstand issues related to poverty, as this Article explains. Nevertheless, their insights are helpful in thinking about …

Circular 230 Redux: Questions Of Validity And Compliance Strategies, Jonathan G. Blattmachr, Mitchell M. Gans, Diana S.C. Zeydel, Tracy L. Bentley

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In this article, the authors revisit their prior article on Circular 230 (see Tax Notes, Apr. 4, 2005, p. 61), focusing in particular on the amendments Treasury adopted on May 18. They consider the meaning of an important, new safe harbor under which transactions that are consistent with the code and its purpose are subject to less rigorous standards. They go on to discuss strategies for making certain that the advice practitioners provide after June 20 will be in compliance with the circular. They also provide a decision tree that will enable practitioners to classify their written advice and thereby …
