The Borders Of Responsibility, The Democratic Intellect, And Other Elephants In The Room, Liam Mchugh-Russell Jun 2023

The Borders Of Responsibility, The Democratic Intellect, And Other Elephants In The Room, Liam Mchugh-Russell

Dalhousie Law Journal

What can André Zucca’s photos, taken during the Nazi occupation of Paris, tell us about the law to come or the challenges it will pose to lawyers, legal scholars and legal educators? In short: Zucca’s photos serve not just as a cipher for a past in need of reckoning but as a caution about abiding a present in which crisis is always just out of frame. In the throes of slow-motion apocalypse, what should an intellectual be? And for whom? In 80 years, when someone is rifling through an attic shoebox of our history, will we appear like the subjects …

The Changing Face Of Legal Education: Its Impact On What It Means To Be A Lawyer, Thomas D. Morgan Jun 2015

The Changing Face Of Legal Education: Its Impact On What It Means To Be A Lawyer, Thomas D. Morgan

Akron Law Review

I have written a book called The Vanishing American Lawyer. My premise is not that too few people have a legal education. I say, instead, that what people now do with legal training is changing rapidly and likely will continue to become more diverse. That leaves me suggesting that there is little left to the general concept of being a lawyer. Yet people still talk about lawyers, and the question of what it means to be a lawyer is especially timely in light of current American Bar Association efforts to revise the standards by which American law schools are accredited. …

Quebec Legal Education Since 1945: Cultural Paradoxes And Traditional Ambiguities, J Ec Brierley Jun 1986

Quebec Legal Education Since 1945: Cultural Paradoxes And Traditional Ambiguities, J Ec Brierley

Dalhousie Law Journal

Some remarkable things have occurred in Quebec legal education over the last forty years. All phases of the educational process have been the object of an official government enquiry (as a consequence of widespread student discontent that led to street demonstrations); a major sociological and futuristic study of the profession and of university studies has attempted to stimulate a major shift in the intellectual orientations of legal education to ready us for the year 2000; the loss by the Quebec legal professions of lawyers and notaries of substantial power to the profit of a government agency regulating all professions in …


Future Roles For Lawyers: Reflections On Crossing The Bar, Thomas Ehrlich Jan 1977

Future Roles For Lawyers: Reflections On Crossing The Bar, Thomas Ehrlich

Cleveland State Law Review

Sometime ago, the New York Times reported that Erwin Griswold -former Dean of the Harvard Law School, former President of the American Bar Foundation, former Solicitor General of the United States, and one of my own mentors and friends -was asked whether all private lawyers should donate some of their time and talents to serving the poor. "Should carpenters build houses free?" he responded. The question was obviously intended as rhetorical, but in view of Mr. Griswold's stature in the legal profession his analogy deserves serious consideration, and his views deserve a serious response. My comments attempt to provide that …


Scientific Eclat And Technological Change: Some Implications For Legal Education, George T. Frampton Jun 1965

Scientific Eclat And Technological Change: Some Implications For Legal Education, George T. Frampton

Michigan Law Review

The law-trained man has frequently been viewed as faced toward the past and preoccupied with precedent, form, words, technicalities, and money. Well might such a man be the fitting product of an educational diet of moldering appellate case opinions taken Socratically with a few crusts of casebook "notes" and classroom lapses into lecture. This is not a man for the season of scientific successes or for a society transformed by technological change.

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey Jan 1957

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey

Cleveland State Law Review

Some one once observed that the size of a man is measured by the size of the things that he will let bother him. Which is to say, that what concerns the legal profession, and those who aspire to enter it, is the adequacy of the job that is being done. The great majority of the lawyers have had training in the law schools of the country - very few come to the practice today via law office study. The practicing profession is, therefore, but the mirror that reflects the schools in which the lawyers were trained. If the bench …


German Lawyers-Training And Functions, Burke Shartel, Hans Julius Wolff Dec 1943

German Lawyers-Training And Functions, Burke Shartel, Hans Julius Wolff

Michigan Law Review

Before Hitler, Germany took justifiable pride in the quality of its judiciary, its bar and its legally trained officials. Germany was a country where special training for civil, military, business, and professional functions was highly developed and where special qualifications were highly esteemed. The solid quality of all legal personnel was merely a consequence and manifestation in one sphere of a general stress on expertness which characterized all aspects of German life. The high standards of bench, bar and other legal personnel have, however, been largely broken down by the Hitler regime. This result has not ensued from an open …
