The Upgraded Lawyer: Modern Technology And Its Impact On The Legal Profession, Thomas R. Moore Mar 2019

The Upgraded Lawyer: Modern Technology And Its Impact On The Legal Profession, Thomas R. Moore

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

At the peak of the Space Race in 1963, President John F. Kennedy remarked that, despite the great leaps brought by technology, "man is still the most extraordinary computer of all." With the advent of the internet and artificial intelligence, today's technological advancements might have shaken even Kennedy's faith in human superiority. For the legal profession, new technology presents a challenge to traditional notions in the practice of law as well. Clients may grow to expect tech-savviness from their attorneys, especially when their cases involve digital concepts. At the same time, the necessity for flesh-and-blood counsel may be diminished by …

The Continuing Work Of The Bellow Scholars, Jeanne Charn

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In November 2010, the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law hosted the fourth Bellow Scholar Workshop and subsequently published the work of two Bellow Scholars in Volume 16 of the UDC Law Review.1 I was privileged to contribute a foreword to Volume 16 in which I commented on thelegacy of my late husband, Gary Bellow, and offered a brief narrative of the origins of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Clinical Section's Bellow Scholar program.2 Most of the earliest Bellow Scholars had worked with Gary or had taken his courses. We understood that …

The Plural Of Anecdote Is Not Data: Teaching Law Students Basic Survey Methodology To Improve Access To Justice In Unemployment Insurance Appeals, Enrique S. Pumar, Faith Mullen

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

This project has its origins at the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC). In March 2008, UDC hosted a meeting between the Pro Bono Committee of the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Hearings, and clinical professors and pro bono coordinators from several law schools in the District of Columbia. At that meeting, the Pro Bono Committee initiated a dialogue about how to better meet the needs of self-represented individuals who appear before the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) and extended an invitation to attend some OAH hearings.

Yes We Can, Pass The Bar. University Of The District Of Columbia, David A. Clarke School Of Law Bar Passage Initiatives And Bar Pass Rates - From The Titanic To The Queen Mary!, Derek Alphran, Tanya Washington, Vincent Eagan Phd.

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

Bar passage rates began to fall at the University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC-DCSL) in the late 1990s as the District and the School of Law dealt with many changes related to uncertain funding and staffing. As a result, in 1998, the Law School created the Bar Passage Task Force (BPTF) to study the issue, prepare a plan of action to put bar passage on an upward path, and to implement that plan. In 2003, at the time of UDC-DCSL's application for full accreditation with the American Bar Association (ABA), the Law School's …

Millennium Showdown For Public Interest Law And Non-White Access To Public Higher Education: Wolves Circling At The Henhouse Door, Stephanie Y. Brown Mar 2003

Millennium Showdown For Public Interest Law And Non-White Access To Public Higher Education: Wolves Circling At The Henhouse Door, Stephanie Y. Brown

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

Institutions of higher education are uniquely positioned to influence the tone and character of justice available in the society. As centers of information and acculturation, colleges, universities, and professional schools determine the next generation of legal innovators and how they will be trained. In an era when aggressive opponents of racial equality indulged by a conservative court impede the gradual progress made possible through affirmative action programs, I believe that legal educators share considerable responsibility for the chronic deficiency of equal access to education plaguing racial minorities in this country. Intoxicated by the rhetoric of public interest and ritualistic tilting …
