Crafting An Advocate For A Child: In Support Of Legislation Redefining The Role Of The Guardian Ad Litem In Michigan Child Abuse And Neglect Cases, Albert E. Hartmann Oct 1997

Crafting An Advocate For A Child: In Support Of Legislation Redefining The Role Of The Guardian Ad Litem In Michigan Child Abuse And Neglect Cases, Albert E. Hartmann

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Michigan's current statutory system leaves the role of the child's attorney unclear. In this Note, Hartmann advocates the adoption of a legislative proposal that will redefine the role of the child's attorney. The proposal specifies that the child's primary legal representative should be a guardian ad litem who will represent the best interests of the child. Hartmann begins by describing the current system and then analyzes how the proposal will modify the role of the child's attorney. Hartmann argues that the proposed changes would be highly beneficial and identifies specific points of improvement. Hartmann concludes by suggesting several reforms to …

Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher Jul 1997

Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

There is much in legal education which contributes to lawyering practices that are fundamentally at odds with the formation of social movements. These practices include the "individualization" of client problems; the reshaping of the realities of clients' lives into legal categories or boxes; the commitment to instrumentalism (that is, to securing a favourable legal result); and lawyer domination and control and the correlates of client silence and passivity. The genesis for these features of dominant lawyering practices can be traced, at least in part, to legal education. More specifically, legal education's emphasis upon doctrinal analysis, its tendency to trade upon …

The Use Of Self-Regulation To Curb Discrimination And Sexual Harassment In The Legal Profession, Joan Brockman Apr 1997

The Use Of Self-Regulation To Curb Discrimination And Sexual Harassment In The Legal Profession, Joan Brockman

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Many law societies in Canada have responded to studies documenting gender bias and sexual harassment in the legal profession by introducing anti-discrimination rules. The Law Society of British Columbia introduced anti-discrimination rules in 1993. This article discusses the attitudes of a stratified random sample of lawyers (50 women and 50 men) called to the Bar in British Columbia between 1986 and 1990, gathered through in-depth interviews conducted in 1993-94. It addresses the question of whether they think the Law Society's rules prohibiting discrimination and sexual harassment will be effective. The article also raises some questions about the role of self-regulation …

Inside The Law: Canadian Law Firms In Historical Perspective, Douglas C. Harris Apr 1997

Inside The Law: Canadian Law Firms In Historical Perspective, Douglas C. Harris

Dalhousie Law Journal

This collection of essays edited by Carol Wilton' chronicles the changing character of Canadian law firms from the "golden age" of the sole practitioner in the nineteenth century to the mega-firms of the late twentieth. Most of the essays describe the changing profession through a case study of a single lawyer or firm, and Wilton has collected a representative sample of firms from across the country. Some of the firms remained small or disappeared, while others grew into full-service corporate commercial law firms of several hundred lawyers. Most of the essays focus on the personalities of the lawyers involved, their …
