Providing Legal Services For The Poor: A Dilemma And An Opportunity, Robert M. Hardaway, Kay H. Paine, Jane P. Gill

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article serves as a report on the status of pro bono legal services programs in Colorado and the possible options available for attorney participation. It is hoped that this information will assist attorneys in examining their pro bono responsibilities and in seeking creative ways to turn these responsibilities into opportunities. Perhaps as background, the definition of pro bono should first be examined.


Legal Aid For The Poor: A Conceptual Analysis, Marshall J. Breger Jan 1982

Legal Aid For The Poor: A Conceptual Analysis, Marshall J. Breger

Scholarly Articles

In this Article Professor Breger examines the competing justifications that have been advanced for the provision of free legal aid to those who cannot afford to engage a private attorney. Professor Breger argues that every citizen has the right to effective access to the courts to resolve disputes in that they aret he only state-sanctionedd ispute resolution mechanism. Because of the complexity of our legal system, effective access to the courts often requires the services of an attorney. Under this theory of "access rights" a person is entitled to free legal aid when necessary for the enforcement of a legal …

Law And Aesthetics: A Critique And A Reformulation Of The Dilemmas, John J. Costonis Jan 1982

Law And Aesthetics: A Critique And A Reformulation Of The Dilemmas, John J. Costonis

Michigan Law Review

This Article both examines these consequences and explains why they have departed so frequently from the ostensible goals of the policies that produced them. It also surveys the principal legal dilemmas that attend aesthetic policy-making, which is sensitive to the values actually at stake in the type of "aesthetic" controversies that legal institutions are called upon to resolve in American society. The aesthetic controls addressed are those adopted in such areas as zoning, historic or environmental preservation, and urban design to shape the visual appearance of the built and natural environments. The content of the aesthetics idea is explored through …

The Community Service Obligation Of Hill-Burton Health Facilities, Ken Wing Jan 1982

The Community Service Obligation Of Hill-Burton Health Facilities, Ken Wing

Faculty Articles

This article focuses squarely on the community service provision and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The analysis traces the statutory and regulatory history of the community service obligation and examines the scope of the discretion that has been delegated to federal and state agencies to define and enforce this obligation. The discussion begins with a brief history of the original Hill-Burton program and the several amendments and modifications of the program over the last several decades. Next, the legislative history of the community service obligation is examined in an effort to determine the scope of authority created by Congress in establishing …

Nineteenth Century Interpretations Of The Federal Contract Clause: The Transformation From Vested To Substantive Rights Against The State , James L. Kainen Jan 1982

Nineteenth Century Interpretations Of The Federal Contract Clause: The Transformation From Vested To Substantive Rights Against The State , James L. Kainen

Faculty Scholarship

During the early nineteenth century, the contract clause served as the fundamental source of federally protected rights against the state. Yet the Supreme Court gradually eased many of the restrictions on state power enforced in the contract clause cases while developing the doctrine of substantive due process after the Civil War. By the end of the nineteenth century, the due process clause had usurped the place of the contract clause as the centerpiece in litigation about individual rights. Most analyses of the history of federally protected rights against the state have emphasized the rise of substantive due process to the …


A Reprise On Herbert V. Lando And The Law Of Defamation, Howard Hunter Jan 1982

A Reprise On Herbert V. Lando And The Law Of Defamation, Howard Hunter

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Three and a half years ago, in an article, published in a symposium issue of the Kentucky Law Journal focusing on the first amendment, I examined the United States Supreme Court decision of Herbert v. Lando. The Court held that reporters, editors and publishers are not protected by any "editorial privilege" from "state of mind" inquiries during discovery in a defamation case governed by the standard of liability set forth in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. The Supreme Court decision in Lando stirred a mild flurry of academic comment, partly because it reversed the Second Circuit's broad ruling in …


Electoral Folklore: An Empirical Examination Of The Abortion Issue, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1982

Electoral Folklore: An Empirical Examination Of The Abortion Issue, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

Though partisans on both sides claim credit for electoral victories and defeats, and politicians treat both groups with deference, few studies have attempted to gauge the impact of the abortion issue in more than an anecdotal manner. In 1976, NARAL noted that of the 13 members of the U.S. Representatives that lost re-election bids, nine were pro-life, and four were pro-choice. A study conducted by the Alan Guttmacher Institute of the 1974 House races found that, in “competitive” districts, 92 percent of the pro-choice candidates studied were re-elected while only 61 percent of the pro-life candidates were returned to Congress, …


A Judge's View On Justice, Bureaucracy, And Legal Method, Harry T. Edwards Dec 1981

A Judge's View On Justice, Bureaucracy, And Legal Method, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

At the recent Inaugural Lecture of the University of Windsor's Distinguished Scholars Program on Access to Justice, my former law teaching colleague, Professor Joseph Vining, delivered a speech entitled Justice, Bureaucracy, and Legal Method. Because, in my view, Professor Vining's address raised some disturbing questions, and some seriously misguided suggestions, about the growth of bureaucracy in the courts and the delivery of justice, I believe that a response is appropriate.


Beyond The Limits Of Executive Power: Presidential Control Of Agency Rulemaking Under Executive Order 12,291, Morton Rosenberg Dec 1981

Beyond The Limits Of Executive Power: Presidential Control Of Agency Rulemaking Under Executive Order 12,291, Morton Rosenberg

Michigan Law Review

This Article addresses the substantial legal problems posed by Executive Order 12,291. Part I argues that the Order, taken as a whole or separated into its procedural and substantive components, violates the constitutional separation of powers. Drawing on the analytic framework outlined by Justice Jackson in the Steel Seizure case, Part I maintains that courts should demand clear congressional support for the Order's requirements. The available evidence, however, conclusively demonstrates Congress's intent to deny the President formalized, substantive control over administrative policymaking. As interpreted by the Supreme Court, moreover, the informal rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (AP A) …


Witness For The Defense: A Right To Immunity, Robin D. Mass Nov 1981

Witness For The Defense: A Right To Immunity, Robin D. Mass

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note has outlined various constitutional arguments that the criminal defendant can invoke in support of an application for witness immunity.First, the Note relies on the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Nixon for its argument that courts should use a flexible separation of powers approach in the context of witness immunity grants. While the Nixon Court accepted the notion that separation of powers protects the decision making authority of the individual branches of government from infringement by the other branches, it observed that the doctrine does not enforce an absolute executive privilege. Thus, the separation of powers doctrine …


Civil Juries And Complex Cases: Let's Not Rush To Judgment, Richard O. Lempert Nov 1981

Civil Juries And Complex Cases: Let's Not Rush To Judgment, Richard O. Lempert

Michigan Law Review

When a fundamental constitutional right is at issue, it is admittedly difficult for the Court to treat the lower courts as laboratories. But if the constitutional right turns on empirical questions, it is better to wait for knowledge than to rush toward a judgment that may later be shown to have vitiated an important right across all circuits. If the Court feels compelled to resolve the conflict, the better decision - if empirical issues are seen as central - is to sustain the right to jury trial regardless of complexity. Sustaining that right will allow courts and researchers to collect …
