Governmental And Private Advocates For The Public Interest In Civil Litigation: A Comparative Study, Mauro Cappellitti

Michigan Law Review

This article examines the means by which public and group interests are represented in civil proceedings throughout the world. I have focused particular attention upon the Ministère public--a French institution imported by a large number of countries--and its analogues, the Attorney General in the common-law countries and the Prokuratura in the socialist world. The Ministère public is, and has been through its centuries-long history, an institutional method for assuring that the "public interest"--or the "collective" or "general interest,'' or the "social concern"--is adequately represented in civil litigation. Yet, other solutions have been utilized--to some extent, even in France--in lieu …

Teaching Professional Ethics, Tom C. Clark

San Diego Law Review

Unless the bar is uniformly imbued with that spirit of honesty and decency and unless it is inspired to insist upon the exercise of the highest ideals in the day-to-day practice of law, then no disciplinary system can be effective and no code of professional conduct will be anything more than a hypocritical farce. How can such an ethical renaissance take place? That, to be sure, is the question and to my mind there is but one possible answer. It must begin in the law schools of this country and spread from there — through continuing legal education programs and …

Legal Ethics Of The Trial Lawyer--How They Serve The Client, Leonard M. Ring

San Diego Law Review

The trial lawyer, especially, must recognize that the entire basis of legal intercourse is ethical and moral. Even viewed solely from the standpoint of those whom he represents, the attorney who enjoys a reputation for high ethical standards receives favorable treatment from the court which inures to the benefit of the client. First of all, the court knows that whatever a trial lawyer says or does, he dos so with the sincerity of his convictions, and also because he believes that it is the moral and proper thing to be done. The court is bound to attach greater weight to …

Watergate And The Law Schools, Donald T. Weckstein

San Diego Law Review

The misdeeds of the Watergate lawyers involve more than image tarnishing. A large number of the showcase successes for the profession have acted unethically, dishonestly, corruptly and criminally. But out of the debris of these fallen idols an opportunity for professional reform, more favorable than perhaps at any other time in our history, has arisen.

One Man's Perspective On Ethics And The Legal Profession, William Pincus

San Diego Law Review

The present system of educating and qualifying lawyers is questionable on ethical grounds because it holds out that it is preparing lawyers to serve clients when it does not do so. Limited to classroom and library in law school and to written exercises on Bar examinations, our educational and qualification process ignores the necessary transition from learning theory and doctrine to putting these into practice with a client. The present systems leaves untouched the largest part of the professional development of the lawyer, satisfied as it is with achievement in intellectual analysis and unconcerned as it has been with professional …

Professional Responsibility Problems And Contempt In Advocacy, Horace W. Gilmore

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, I propose to deal with a comparison between the standards of the ABA Code of Professional Responsibility and general contempt standards in two contexts: advocacy in the court room and the limits of pre-trial publicity by advocates.

Is The Bar Meeting Its Ethical Responsibilities?, John V. Tunney

San Diego Law Review

Our society depends to a large extent on lawyers to assure all citizens the protection and advantages of the law. The legal profession itself ? through its largest national organization, the American Bar Association, and through most state bars which adopt or enforce disciplinary rules for lawyers ? has chosen, in the canons quoted above, to impose on itself the ethical responsibility of making competent legal services available to all those who need them. Society has accepted the profession's position, and has subjected the ethical conduct of lawyers to little government interference or supervision.

Canon 2 - The Bright And Dark Face Of The Legal Profession, Alex Elson

San Diego Law Review

The focus of this Article is on the disciplinary rules which, though intended to implement Canon 2, in fact foreclose lawyers from ethically participating in plans designed to extend legal services to many Americans who otherwise would go without a lawyer.

Ethical Problems In Connection With The Delivery Of Legal Services, Walter P. Armstrong Jr.

San Diego Law Review

When the Code of Professional Responsibility was presented to the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association at its 1969 annual meeting by the Special Committee on the Evaluation of Ethical Standards, the only exception taken to any of its provisions was to that dealing with cooperation by a lawyer with an organization engaged in facilitating the delivery of legal services to the public. The Code, as drafted by the Committee, and as ultimately adopted at that time by the House of Delegates, provides that "a lawyer shall not knowingly assist a person or organization that recommends, furnishes or …

Some Comments On Proposals For Reform Of The Federal Appellate Court System, Terrance Sandalow

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

In response to growing concern over the rapidly increasing caseloads of the federal courts of appeal, the 92nd Congress established the Commission on Revision of the Federal Court Appellate System. The Commission was instructed "to study the structure and internal procedures of the federal courts of appeal system" and to recommend such "changes in structure or internal procedure as may be appropriate for the expeditious and effective disposition of the caseload of the Federal courts of appeal...."

In April 1975, the Commission issued a preliminary report of its views. Among the recommendations contained in that report was a proposal that …

The Inns Of Court, Edson R. Sunderland

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Edson R. Sutherland was Professor of Law at the University of Michgian from 1901-1944 and Professor Emeritus until 1959. This manuscript, based on original research by Prof. Sunderland and presented orally in 1951 to a faculty group from all parts of the University, hasbeen found only recently among his papers. The idea of publishing the piece came from Thomas V. Koykka, Class of 1930, a student of Sunderlands who knew him quite well from service with him on the University board in control of student publications. At Mr. Koykka's suggestion that the piece ought to have "a wider audience than …

The Clinical Law Experiment: Michigan's First Five Years, Steven D. Pepe

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Many Michigan law alumni continue to inquire about the Clinical Law Program, now entering its fifth year of fulltime operation. Prof. Al Conard's "Letter from the Law Clinic" in the fall, 1973, Law Quadrangle Notes gave a perceptive and entertaining glimpse into some of the case situations at the clinic and the types of learning in which clinic students are engaged. This article will sketch the development and operation of our clinical experiment in legal education. A future article will explore the goals, methodology, and problems of clinical legal education. A third and final article will focus on a particular …

Lawyers And Professionalism: A Further Psychiatric Perspective On Legal Education, Andrew S. Watson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In recent years, clinical teaching methods have played an increasingly significant role in the education of this nation's lawyers. With the consequential accumulation of data pertaining to various institutional experiences, it is now worthwhile to explore, from a clinician's perspective, some of the psychodynamics of this educational process as it appears to affect a student's future professional behavior. In addition to such an examination, this article will delineate methods for dealing with the stresses of a lawyer's professional life, suggesting ways in which the attorney may satisfy his goals as well as those of his client. It is hoped that …

The Sherman Act And Bar Admission Residence Requirements, Harvey Freedenberg

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will focus on the restrictive aspects of residence qualifications for admission to the state bar. Such restrictions are significant in three cases: initial admission to the bar, relocation by a foreign attorney, and multistate practice by an attorney admitted to the bar in another state. An attempt will be made to determine whether these requirements might be invalid under the Sherman Act and to analyze the case for their abolition. The commercial counterpart of professional entry restrictions has been termed "the very essence of monopoly,” and on this basis it is submitted that further freedom from antitrust scrutiny …
