The Role Of Law And The Function Of The Lawyer In The Developing Countries, Wolfgang G. Friedmann Dec 1963

The Role Of Law And The Function Of The Lawyer In The Developing Countries, Wolfgang G. Friedmann

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the majority of contemporary democratic societies, the role of the lawyer is important, in some cases (such as the United States) predominant. This is so partly because a democratic constitution and legal order--for all the differences between the various types of democracy--are based on a delicate and precarious balance of functions and powers, which makes the role of the lawyer, as a trained balancer, important. But it is also connected with the fact that in the formative era of modern democracies, especially throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the predominant economic philosophy of democracy was that of laissez …


The Lawyer's Response To The Demand For Both Stability And Change Through Law, Orison S. Marden Dec 1963

The Lawyer's Response To The Demand For Both Stability And Change Through Law, Orison S. Marden

Vanderbilt Law Review

We need not worry about the lawyer's response to the need for stability in the law. The average lawyer is a conservative chap who does not favor change unless the need for it has been proved to the hilt.Nor need we tender full apologies for this hardheaded attitude, for,as Judge Cardozo once said, "certainty and uniformity are gains not lightly to be sacrificed. Above all is this true when honest men have shaped their conduct upon the faith of the pronouncement." At times, however, we have allowed these considerations, important as they are, to outweigh even more compelling reasons for …

The Growing Need For Specialized Legal Services, Elliott E. Cheatham

Vanderbilt Law Review

In this lecture Professor Cheatham discusses the specialization of lawyers, a topic of increasing interest and importance to members of the bar. He concludes that while there is a need for specialists in the practice of law, the general practitioner remains vital to the profession.The author lists problems inherent in specialization including training in a particular area, and coordination and cooperation between the specialist, the client, and the generalist, and emphasizes a need for the bar to take an active part in the solution of these problems.

The Roles Of Lawyers In U.S.-Japanese Business Transactions, Dan Fenno Henderson Apr 1963

The Roles Of Lawyers In U.S.-Japanese Business Transactions, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

This article deals with the organization, qualifications and roles of lawyers in U.S.-Japanese transactions, with emphasis on the liaison lawyer. It is not easy for the liaison lawyer to define his specialty because it is determined by the transactions, and they sprawl across the borders of two or more countries and cut across multiple fields of substantive law. Some awkward professional problems and postures can result. First, there are unusual threshold problems of language and multiple bar membership, different professional ethics and scopes of practice, and conflicting governing laws. Then once in the practice, the liaison lawyer's inventory of useful …


Partnership By Estoppel, William H. Painter Mar 1963

Partnership By Estoppel, William H. Painter

Vanderbilt Law Review

"Wherever one of two innocent persons must suffer by the acts of a third, he who has enabled such third person to occasion the loss must sustain it."' This statement, repeated with tedious frequency in the cases, is both obvious and misleading in its simplicity, for of all the maxims of law based on notions of natural justice, this is one of the most difficult to apply. This discussion will explore it as applied in the law of partnership, so-called "partnership by estoppel." In addition, the liability of those who have retired from partnerships will be considered since, although this …

Attorney-Client Privilege And Corporations, Richard C. Klein Jan 1963

Attorney-Client Privilege And Corporations, Richard C. Klein

Cleveland State Law Review

On August 3, 1962 a memorandum decision was handed down in an antitrust proceeding which startled practicing attorneys and text writers alike. It held specifically that the "attorney-client privilege" did not apply to the corporate client.' What had been accepted as law for over one hundred and twenty-five years was curtly cast aside by Chief Judge William J. Campbell.
