Evidence--Privileged Communications--The Attorney-Client Privilege In The Corporate Setting: A Suggested Approach, Michigan Law Review Dec 1970

Evidence--Privileged Communications--The Attorney-Client Privilege In The Corporate Setting: A Suggested Approach, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will first review the development of the personal attorney-client privilege and the extent to which the term "client" has been expanded for use with that privilege. Then, the development of the corporate attorney-client privilege will be examined with an eye toward isolating the tests that the courts have used to define the extent of the term "client." Finally, with the results of these examinations in mind, an approach will be suggested that, if adopted by the courts, could effectively eliminate the confusion that presently exists with regard to the scope of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate setting.

Attorney-Client Privilege—Contempt: The Dilemma Of Non-Disclosure Of Possibly Privileged Information.—Dike V. Dike, 75 Wash. Dec. 2d 1, 448 P.2d 490 (1968), Anon

Washington Law Review

A recent Washington case examines the attorney's dilemma. In Dike v. Dike, the Washington Supreme Court reviewed a summary contempt conviction imposed upon an attorney for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of his client, the defendant in a pending divorce action. The client had removed her daughter from the temporary court-awarded custody of a third party, and would not return the child. Having failed to answer a motion to hold his client in contempt for violating the custody order, the attorney was directed to appear, and either produce the defendant or show cause why he could not produce her. The …

Tardiness Of Attorneys As Contempt Of Court, Thomas L. Esper Jan 1970

Tardiness Of Attorneys As Contempt Of Court, Thomas L. Esper

Cleveland State Law Review

Tardiness of an attorney is a violation of the Cannons of Professional Ethics. A continual disregard of the canons of ethics constitutes misconduct or moral turpitude. Misconduct or moral turpitude are grounds for disbarment. Just as clearly, tardiness of an attorney is punishable as contempt of court. Contempt of court is viewed as a criminal conviction, since the contemner is subject to fines and imprisonment. Contempt of court, if sufficiently repeated, is ground for disbarment.


Constitutional Law--The Right To A Jury Trial In Disbarment Proceedings, Michigan Law Review Jan 1970

Constitutional Law--The Right To A Jury Trial In Disbarment Proceedings, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Lawyers in the United States have long been considered officers of the court, subject to examination for good moral character and adequate education in law before admission to the bar. They have also been subject to summary proceedings for disbarment whenever they have deviated from accepted standards of conduct embodied in various codes of professional ethics. Although the specific grounds for disbarment vary from state to state and between federal and state courts, one thing is clear: in the absence of a specific statutory provision there traditionally has been no right to a jury trial in disbarment proceedings. Since the …
