Conflicts-Of-Interest Disqualification In Medical Malpractice Litigation, George J. Annas
Conflicts-Of-Interest Disqualification In Medical Malpractice Litigation, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Less than two decades ago it was thought sufficient to say, "When a practitioner is in doubt on an ethical question, the best answer is usually No." A more recent commentator has suggested, however, that "[s]uch platitudes have become increasingly inadequate to guide the attorney facing conflicts of interests in the private practice of law." Because of the general vagueness of the American Bar Association's Model Code of Professional Responsibility, and of state codes based on it, courts have begun to fashion a vast "common law" of conflicts of interest A particularly controversial entry to this body of common law …

A Paradigm Of First Amendment Dilemmas: Resolving Public School Library Censorship Disputes, Leora Harpaz
A Paradigm Of First Amendment Dilemmas: Resolving Public School Library Censorship Disputes, Leora Harpaz
Faculty Scholarship
In recent years courts have begun to ponder the first amendment issue of public school library book censorship. These fledgling judicial efforts have produced a mostly inadequate analysis of the complex legal picture presented by school library book censorship. Courts that desire to intervene in censorship disputes almost unthinkingly have relied on first amendment doctrines developed outside of the censorship area and assumed their easy application to this new problem. Courts that take a hands-off attitude toward the area rely heavily on the appropriateness of judicial intervention as their central theme. Nowhere to be found in these judicial responses is …

Making Sense Of Desegregation And Affirmative Action, William W. Van Alstyne
Making Sense Of Desegregation And Affirmative Action, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This review discusses J. Harvie Wilkinson's "From Brown to Bakke" and its companion work, "Counting by Race: Equality from the Founding Fathers to Bakke and Weber" written by Terry Eastland and William J. Bennett. Wilkinson's work is found to maintain a narrow focus on its specific subject of school desegregation and the Supreme Court, but it suffers from over-exaggeration and an abundance of adornment in his writing style. "Counting" is a provocative piece that asserts the position that the Constitution is still not color-blind, despite what many have proposed, and makes an authoritative argument for such a claim.
Constitutional Limits On Aid To Sectarian Universities, Kent Greenawalt
Constitutional Limits On Aid To Sectarian Universities, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
Because private colleges and universities have more and more difficulty keeping their heads above water financially, the possibility of government support increasingly is becoming a question of survival. Almost certainly the level of public support for private academic institutions will rise in the future, and any doubts about eligibility for this support are of vital concern for affected universities. The major issue regarding eligibility has been the status of sectarian universities. Given the stringent constitutional limits on government aid to religion, can universities that are connected to churches or are otherwise sectarian receive public assistance?
Judicial Scrutiny Of "Benign" Racial Preference In Law School Admissions, Kent Greenawalt
Judicial Scrutiny Of "Benign" Racial Preference In Law School Admissions, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
Racial preferences for blacks generate ambivalence in those who care about racial equality and also believe that individuals should be judged "on their own merits." This ambivalence is reflected in divergent "equal protection" values, the value of eliminating barriers to equality imposed on minority groups and that of distributing the burdens and benefits of social life without reference to arbitrary distinctions. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that after Marco DeFunis, Jr. challenged the constitutionality of racial preferences for admission to a state law school, the Supreme Court's resolution of the issue was awaited with intense interest and some trepidation. For …

Law And Medicine: Myths And Realities In The Medical School Classroom, George J. Annas
Law And Medicine: Myths And Realities In The Medical School Classroom, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
The goal of legal education in a nutshell is to get the student to "think like a lawyer." The goal of medicolegal courses in medical schools, on the other hand, has often seemed to be to get the medical student to think bad things about lawyers. While the total solution to the legendary distrust between these two professions may not be an understanding of methodology, this article will suggest that one way to increase cooperation between the professions is to teach law in medical schools in a way that emphasizes methods of approaching problems and which seeks to dispel the …
Changing Directions At Columbia, Michael I. Sovern
Changing Directions At Columbia, Michael I. Sovern
Faculty Scholarship
Each period in history handles reform in its own way. In the earlier days we placed a heavy emphasis on legal realism. We stressed the need to adapt the learning of other disciplines to legal education and to bring the learning of other disciplines into the law school instructional program. As you know, that is an incomplete revolution. It remains a part of our present concern, but our focus today is different.
2-1-1: The 4th Revolution In Legal Education, Michael I. Sovern
2-1-1: The 4th Revolution In Legal Education, Michael I. Sovern
Faculty Scholarship
If we were to count the great changes in legal education from Charles Evans Hughes' day to this, we would find ourselves with a short list. The shift from apprenticeship to school was already well begun by the time Mr. Hughes was graduated from the Columbia School of Law in 1884. The case method was a new idea, but it would become the orthodox methodology in a startlingly short time. By the turn of the century, a number of law schools had moved from two- to three-year programs, but two years was still enough for admission to the bar in …

The Project provides student legal services to indigent prison inmates at the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth and the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing, Kansas. Launched in 1965 through the efforts of Paul E. Wilson, Kane Professor of Law, the Project has since been a model for similar clinical undertakings at law schools across the country.
Public Support And The Sectarian University, Walter Gellhorn, Kent Greenawalt
Public Support And The Sectarian University, Walter Gellhorn, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
In mid-1968 we undertook to advise Fordham University concerning steps that might be appropriate to establish its eligibility for public assistance. As part of that task we tried to determine the extent to which present law requires official differentiation between Church-related and other institutions of higher learning. Since the University sought a wholly detached consideration of its legal posture, our conclusions in this article represent our best judgment of the present state of the law and its probable development. We have avoided indicating our own personal position on debatable legal and ethical issues.
