Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson Mar 1976

Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson

Washington Law Review

The failure of the Bar to regulate effectively the ethical conduct of its members is not solely the failure of law school teaching methodology. A much more serious deficiency-and one far more difficult to resolve—concerns the way lawyers perceive and attempt to enforce professional responsibility. Instead of providing an analytical framework which the individual lawyer can employ in considering problems arising in practice, the legal profession has chosen a series of ambiguous and only tangentially related rules which are often contradictory or misleading.

The Unpopularity Of Lawyers In America, Jon R. Waltz Jan 1976

The Unpopularity Of Lawyers In America, Jon R. Waltz

Cleveland State Law Review

What's wrong with us lawyers?

Lost to the public is the portrait of most lawyers, the sorts of lawyers that I hope this University produces. They are quiet people who come to the law, and stay with it, because they know that the law's power lets them help people make the best of a trying world.
