How To Write And Speak More Effectively As Advocate, Negotiator, Or Counselor -- Suggestions To The Budding Lawyer, Arthur R. Landever

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

How best to give you some ideas about legal communication? The traditional approach is to focus narrowly upon a particular type, for example, appellate oral argument. My approach is different. I view communication in its total aspect -- whatever its general nature (e.g. writing or speech), degree of formality (e.g. brief or office negotiation), or audience (e.g. lawyer or layman). My ideas proceed from a fundamental assumption: As a student you can gain insights about the subject, by first studying the broad canvas. As you then reflect upon any particular mode, it can be set against that background. The suggestions …

The Questionable Validity Of The Automatic Exemption Of Attorneys From Jury Service, Barbara Ann Dalvano

University of Richmond Law Review

On January 10, 1980 Senator Emick proposed a bill in the Virginia General Assembly to abolish the automatic and optional exemptions from jury service of persons engaged in certain occupations. The bill was not passed in its proposed form. Section 8.01-341, providing optional exemptions, still remains in force in its entirety. Automatic exemptions, however, were eliminated for optometrists, clerks of both houses of the General Assembly, ministers, jail keepers, superintendents of public and mental hospitals, undertakers, veterinarians, members of fire departments, pharmacists, clinical psychologists and citizens of Broad Water and Cobb Islands. Licensed practicing attorneys, however, along with several other …

Student Representation Of Indigent Defendants And The Sixth Amendment: On A Collision Course, Robert M. Hardaway

Cleveland State Law Review

This article will review the parallel patterns of development of clinical education and the sixth amendment, highlighting areas in which the practices of the former either conflict, or contain the potential for conflict with the latter. An analysis will be made of the present legal status of law student representation of indigent criminal defendants, with reference primarily to constitutional and sixth amendment considerations, but also to such related matters as the confidentiality of student-client communications, law student professional responsibility, and the applicability to students of state bar disciplinary rules. Finally, guidelines will be proposed regarding the proper scope of student …

The Legacy Of Clinical Education: Theories About Lawyering, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Cleveland State Law Review

This article will examine some of the various schools of thought about what lawyers do. It is offered as a commentary on the beginning of a philosophy or sociology of lawyering that is derived from the clinical movement which will survive long after the pedagogical and political disputes about clinical methodology have been resolved. This is a subjective study which incorporates my own interpretations of the concepts of the various schools of thought. I describe the approaches to or theories about lawyering and their "creators" as I know them, recognizing that some major theories, schools and people may not for …

Professional Responsibility Of A Law Teachers, Norman Redlich

Cleveland State Law Review

What are the essential ingredients of the proposed code of professional responsibility for the law teacher? First, the law teacher should take seriously the subject of ethics and professional responsibility. Second, law teachers should insist on students adhering to professional standards. Third, the essential quid pro quo for insisting on high professional standards on the part of the student is for the law teacher to demonstrate respect for students and for their time. Law teachers should respond to the views of the students with the courtesy and respect accorded to fellow professionals. Respect for one's faculty colleagues is an important …

Why Don't Law Schools Teach Law Students How To Try Law Suits, Edward J. Devitt

Cleveland State Law Review

As chairman of the Devitt Committee I was exposed to a wide range of views concerning the issue of the quality of trial advocacy in this country's courts. That experience made apparent the seriousness of the problem of inadequate trial advocacy and the necessity for appropriate remedies. The cure for this lies primarily with the law schools. What is needed is a fundamental change in attitude among American law schools. This commentary will establish that these pragmatic views have the support of logic, history and the available hard evidence.

Here's What We Do: Some Notes About Clinical Legal Education, Stephen Wizner, Dennis Curtis

Cleveland State Law Review

For the past decade we have been engaged in developing the Yale Law School clinical program. From time to time academic colleagues, practicing lawyers, and even non-lawyers have asked what we do. Until we were invited to do so, however, we never could bring ourselves to put down on paper some of our thoughts about legal education in general, and clinical legal education in particular, gleaned from years of working in the field. These notes represent a beginning in that direction.

The Contradictions Of Clinical Legal Education, Ralph S. Tyler, Robert S. Catz

Cleveland State Law Review

The central thesis of this commentary is that clinical methodology is sound theoretically, as it provides a necessary and vital complement to other modes of legal education, but that the exciting potential of this method will not be realized so long as law school clinical programs rely primarily on "live client" cases to teach their students. Because the live client model is used extensively in clinical programs, this commentary will assess that model of clinical education by seeking to identify the problems associated with maintaining a law office in the law school environment. Particular attention will be given to the …

Clinical Legal Education: The Case Against Separatism, Frank W. Munger

Cleveland State Law Review

In this article I attempt to support my conclusion that the future of clinical education lies in its contributions to the classroom, rather than in its function as an independent source of training. This last phase of the clinical movement is the most important, and will constitute the greatest contribution of clinicians to legal education. I will argue that the concerns of clinicians have stimulated the soundest recent thinking about improvements in legal education, and that, therefore, clinics should be used to develop innovations in teaching which can be applied to the traditional classroom. If my arguments are valid, then …

Approaches And Stumbling Blocks To Integration Of Skills Training And The Traditional Methods Of Teaching Law, W. Noel Keyes

Cleveland State Law Review

Having practiced for many years before becoming a law professor, the author felt compelled to look at the problem of how to integrate practical training into traditional methods for teaching law. It was soon evident that the solution could not be found if one took a pejorative attitude, dwelling on negative terminology such as "anti-intellectualism," but only if it was recognized that law study has little meaning without a concurrent study of its practice. This commentary will propose a mode for accomplishing this integration.

Chinese Legal Tradition Under the Mongols: The Code of 1291 as Reconstructed. By Paul Heng-chao Ch'en

The author's analysis of the "New Code" leads him to two conclusions: that the Yuan penal system was more lenient than its predecessors in imposing lesser punishments for minor offenses, and that the Mongol-Chinese partnership of the Yuan dynasty developed one of the most impressive and mature judicial systems that imperial China ever had for the administration of justice. He therefore argues that Chinese law in the time of Marco Polo was much less barbaric than has traditionally been thought.
