Posner On Literature, L. H. Larue
Posner On Literature, L. H. Larue
Michigan Law Review
Judge Richard A. Posner has expanded the scope of his writing. We have previously known him as one of the leaders in law and economics. He is now moving into the field of law and literature. His offering is an article, Law and Literature: A Relation Reargued, which has been published in the Virginia Law Review.
As one might expect, he performs intelligently. Posner is well read in literature; he displays a genuine love for that which he has read; and he writes with wit and grace. In short, in law and literature, as in law and economics, Posner …
In Defense Of A Double Standard In The Rules Of Ethics: A Critical Reevaluation Of The Chinese Wall And Vicarious Disqualification, Frances Witty Hamermesh
In Defense Of A Double Standard In The Rules Of Ethics: A Critical Reevaluation Of The Chinese Wall And Vicarious Disqualification, Frances Witty Hamermesh
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note suggests that no change is warranted at the present time; courts should not adopt the Chinese wall defense to vicarious disqualification of private firms. The Chinese wall should, however, continue to operate as an internal device for protection of confidentiality. As such, it encourages firms to avoid disqualification by obtaining client consent to successive representation. Neither the historical record of the work of the Commission on the Evaluation of Professional Standards (the Kutak Commission), the empirical evidence currently available, nor the pragmatic arguments offered by many commentators justify an exception to, or modification of, the standard of imputed …

Two Contradictory Criticisms Of Clinical Education: Dilemmas And Directions In Lawyering Education, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Two Contradictory Criticisms Of Clinical Education: Dilemmas And Directions In Lawyering Education, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Antioch Law Journal
This article reviews what legal education is attempting to accomplish in teaching lawyering skills and where, from my perspective as a clinician, I think it has fallen short. I then offer some suggestions for what both clinicians and non-clinicians might do to further our efforts directed at truly educating lawyers. The two critiques I will offer of clinical education derive from two of clinical education's principal goals - teaching students how to "behave"as well as "think" like a lawyer (a behavorist goal), and teaching our students to think more broadly about the purpose of their roles as lawyers in the …
The Stages Of The Clinical Supervisory Relationship, Peter Toll Hoffman
The Stages Of The Clinical Supervisory Relationship, Peter Toll Hoffman
Antioch Law Journal
Clinical education is an established fact in legal education today, despite continuing battles in individual schools over the size and budget of the clinical curriculum and the status of clinical teachers.' Because of increasing pressure from students, the Bar, and faculty committed to the creation and maintenance of clinical courses, law schools have responded by labeling a widely diverse body of courses as falling under that heading. Many of these courses bear only scant resemblance to the service-oriented, live, poverty law clinics that were once the model for clinical programs.2 While no attempt will be made here to call for …
Quebec Legal Education Since 1945: Cultural Paradoxes And Traditional Ambiguities, J Ec Brierley
Quebec Legal Education Since 1945: Cultural Paradoxes And Traditional Ambiguities, J Ec Brierley
Dalhousie Law Journal
Some remarkable things have occurred in Quebec legal education over the last forty years. All phases of the educational process have been the object of an official government enquiry (as a consequence of widespread student discontent that led to street demonstrations); a major sociological and futuristic study of the profession and of university studies has attempted to stimulate a major shift in the intellectual orientations of legal education to ready us for the year 2000; the loss by the Quebec legal professions of lawyers and notaries of substantial power to the profit of a government agency regulating all professions in …

Break The Monopoly Of Lawyers On The Supreme Court, Arthur S. Miller, Jeffrey H. Bowman
Vanderbilt Law Review
The questions these cases pose are: Do lawyers alone have the wisdom to make such sociological and moral decisions as Plessy, Brown, and Roe? Should only lawyers deal with political theory in the way the Supreme Court has in the Legislative Reapportionment Cases? Can only lawyers deal in a definitive way with the troublesome questions concerning the relationship of church and state presented by the Prayer Cases? Although the list of cases may be extended to cover the full range of socioeconomic questions that remain of fundamental importance to this country, the answer to these questions remains the same. No …
