The Beginning, Flourishing And Decline Of The Inns Of Court: The Consolidation Of The English Legal Profession After 1400, Anton Hermann Chroust Dec 1956

The Beginning, Flourishing And Decline Of The Inns Of Court: The Consolidation Of The English Legal Profession After 1400, Anton Hermann Chroust

Vanderbilt Law Review

The origin and history of the Inns of Court, their relation to each other and to the English legal profession, and their subsequent decline, pose some puzzling problems which often do not admit of a precise or uniform answer. This paper, however, will attempt to clarify some of the following questions: When and under what conditions did the lawyers of England move into common dwelling places or Inns? Why did they cluster together in a strip of land which was surrounded on the south by the River Thames, on the east by the old City of London, on the north …


Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch Nov 1956

Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch

Washington Law Review

The subject of my remarks indicates that at some time in the past and as of now advocacy has been practiced. To me advocacy is the backbone and the real strength of justice in this great land of ours. The term "advocate" has been linked with the legal profession—and properly so—from the beginning of time. We are a profession that has always taken an objective point of view, as contrasted with the negative or defensive point of view, to the end that principles and ideals shall be maintained.


Necessity As A Justification: A Critique Of Perka, Donald Galloway Jun 1956

Necessity As A Justification: A Critique Of Perka, Donald Galloway

Dalhousie Law Journal

In his characteristically trenchant and influential investigation, "A Plea for Excuses",' J. L. Austin reminded us that we can and do use different strategies of defending a person when it is claimed that he has done wrong. He drew attention to two distinct tactics: One way of going about this (defending a person) is to admit that he, X, did that very thing, A, but to argue that it was a good thing, or the right or sensible thing, or a permissible thing to do . . . To take this line is to justify the action, to give reasons …

Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens Mar 1956

Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The average attorney has little interest in, nor does he realize the inadequacy of, the attorney's lien laws of his state—until he finds himself personally involved. Yet, a glance at the law reviews and pertinent cases indicates that the organized bar and its individual members should show more than a casual interest in the number and variety of problems arising in this field.

Practice Of Taxation: Accountants Vs. Attorneys, Orville J. Weaver Jan 1956

Practice Of Taxation: Accountants Vs. Attorneys, Orville J. Weaver

Cleveland State Law Review

What constitutes the illegal or unauthorized practice of law by accountants in their tax practice? The popular conception of the practice of law is the appearance in courts by attorneys. This may be a very small part of the average attorney's law practice. he spends most of his time in determining his clients' legal problems other than in court. So the unauthorized practice of law concerns itself with activities of persons, other than lawyers, who give legal advice to clients in connection with the practice of their professions. Accountants have prepared federal income tax returns, and returns for various state …
