Private Sanctions, Public Harm?, Jon J. Lee
Private Sanctions, Public Harm?, Jon J. Lee
BYU Law Review
The legal profession has a secret. In response to widespread public distrust in the profession’s ability to regulate itself, disciplinary authorities have undertaken modest efforts over the last several decades to make their activities more transparent. They have opened up their formal proceedings, publicized the identities of sanctioned attorneys, and shared information about their work online. But at the same time, most have quietly continued to resolve cases of ostensibly “minor” and “isolated” misconduct through private sanctions, keeping the identities of disciplined attorneys – and their misconduct – hidden from view.
This Article takes a comprehensive look at private sanctions …

A Lawyer’S Introduction To Meaning In The Framework Of Corpus Linguistics, Neal Goldfarb
A Lawyer’S Introduction To Meaning In The Framework Of Corpus Linguistics, Neal Goldfarb
BYU Law Review
Corpus linguistics is more than just a new tool for legal interpretation. Work in corpus linguistics has generated new ways of thinking about word meaning and about the interpretation of words in context. These insights challenge the assumptions that lawyers and judges generally make about words and their meaning. Although the words that make up a sentence are generally regarded as the basic units of meaning, corpus analysis has shown that in many cases, the meaning of a word as it is used in a given context is a function, not of the word by itself, but of the word’s …
Corpus Linguistics As A Tool In Legal Interpretation, Lawrence M. Solan, Tammy Gales
Corpus Linguistics As A Tool In Legal Interpretation, Lawrence M. Solan, Tammy Gales
BYU Law Review
In this paper, we set out to explore conditions in which the use of large linguistic corpora can be optimally employed by judges and others tasked with construing authoritative legal documents. Linguistic corpora, sometimes containing billions of words, are a source of information about the distribution of language usage. Thus, corpora and the tools for using them are most likely to assist in addressing legal issues when the law considers the distribution of language usage to be legally relevant. As Thomas R. Lee and Stephen C. Mouritsen have so ably demonstrated in earlier work, corpus analysis is especially helpful when …

Government Speech And The Publicly Employed Attorney, Margaret Tarkington
Government Speech And The Publicly Employed Attorney, Margaret Tarkington
BYU Law Review
In Garcetti v. Ceballos, the U.S. Supreme Court incorporated the "government speech" doctrine into its case law regarding the speech rights of public employees. This incorporation had the effect of nullifying a public employee's free speech rights whenever the employee is speaking pursuant to her official duties. While the Garcetti rule may be problematic in a number situations, it is particularly problematic as applied to publicly employed attorney speech, most notably the speech of prosecutors and public defenders. Attorney speech (including the speech of publicly employed attorneys) is not government speech and should not be treated as government speech. A …
