Scientific Eclat And Technological Change: Some Implications For Legal Education, George T. Frampton

Michigan Law Review

The law-trained man has frequently been viewed as faced toward the past and preoccupied with precedent, form, words, technicalities, and money. Well might such a man be the fitting product of an educational diet of moldering appellate case opinions taken Socratically with a few crusts of casebook "notes" and classroom lapses into lecture. This is not a man for the season of scientific successes or for a society transformed by technological change.

Legislation, Law Review Staff

Vanderbilt Law Review

In increasing measure the legal profession has come to recognize its public responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is to protect clients from the dishonesty of lawyers. The lawyer who handles funds of a client is a fiduciary in the highest sense. Occasionally, however, an attorney misappropriates the funds of his client. The client's remedy against the lawyer is probably futile, for an embezzler will generally have no funds to cover the loss. Although misappropriation is rare it receives much publicity when it does occur. Embezzlement and loss with consequent publicity impair the reputation of the entire legal profession.In dealing with …

The Expanding Horizons Of Legal Services--I, Monrad G. Paulsen

West Virginia Law Review

In no country of the world are lawyers so important or so influential as they are in America. Lawyers dominate legislative bodies almost everywhere in the United States; they often provide executive leadership for business enterprize and voluntary associations.

The theme of this paper is that the services offered by the legal profession, a profession already engaged in hundreds of tasks, are rapidly expanding. Some new ways of working are emerging. Some old functions are being performed in a new manner. More resources are being provided for that …

The Defense Of Indigent Persons Accused Of Crime In Washington—A Survey, Richard B. Amandes, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

Eight months before the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Gideon v. Wainwright the American Bar Association, in accordance with its long existing concern with the problem of indigent defendants, authorized the appointment of a special committee with associate subcommittees in each state "to study present practices and to initiate, coordinate and accelerate efforts to assure adequacy of the defense provided indigent persons accused of crime in the United States..." The work of state subcommittees was coordinated and directed by the American Bar Foundation. This article is based upon the report prepared by the Washington subcommittee, and follows …

Next, an attempt will be made to evaluate the effect of the Supreme Court Brotherhood case, and other related decisions, upon the Canons. Finally, an effort will be made to anticipate the prospects of group legal service with a view towards implementing or modifying present standards.

Abuse Of Attorneys By Judges, Francis G. Homan Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

Popular notions have it that almost all misconduct in the courtroom is attributable to attorneys. Yet many practitioners before the bar have suffered abuse by members of the judiciary. How frequently this occurs is not known, but sometimes incidents of non-judicial conduct are revealed in other than case reports.

Split Loyalty: An Ethical Problem For The Criminal Defense Lawyer, Gerald S. Gold

Cleveland State Law Review

Nowhere in law do ethical considerations play a greater part or come into greater conflict than in the defense of those accused of crime. The lawyer defending an accused owes a duty to his client, a duty to society, and a duty to the court. The duties to each are not completely clear and when the various loyalties conflict, fair, safe, and moral resolutions are most difficult.

New Rules Of The Supreme Court Of Ohio (An Analysis), Lee E. Skeel

Three subjects coming within the inherent power and within the constitutional and statutory jurisdiction of the Court are contained in the revision; that is, procedures for presenting cases in which the Court has original jurisdiction, cases which come within its appellate and revisory jurisdiction as provided in each case by the Constitution and Statutes of Ohio (Article IV, Sections 2 and 6), and admission to the practice of the law in Ohio and disciplinary procedures for members of the bar …

Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz

Cleveland State Law Review

The deposition plays an important role in the modern-day practice of law. The enormous backlog of cases in the courts requires preservation of precious testimony during the long wait prior to trial. In addition, the deposition is a valuable tool in evaluating a case, especially during settlement negotiations. Finally, the deposition is a prime means of discovering vital information. The notary public presides at the deposition, and is invested with quasi-judicial powers, including the power to punish for contempt. This paper will briefly survey both the procedural aspects of the deposition and the quasi-judicial power of the notary public.

Evidence, Roslyn M. Litman

Scholarship

This article is not intended to constitute a comprehensive review of all evidence cases decided in Pennsylvania in the past ten years. The cases selected, of necessity, have been limited. They have been chosen because they affect either a field of special interest or one of special confusion. Cases dealing with applications of the parol evi­dence rule and with constitutional issues in criminal prosecutions have been omitted entirely because they are covered elsewhere in this Survey.
