The authors assert that a successful hire will influence every aspect of your library and, as such, a library needs to devote considerable attention and resources to librarian searches.
The Disability Dilemma: A Skeptical Bench & Bar, Wendy Hensel
The Disability Dilemma: A Skeptical Bench & Bar, Wendy Hensel
Wendy F. Hensel
The legal profession is no stranger to the bias and prejudice present in American society. Members of the bar have been shown to engage in both conscious and subconscious discrimination, posing challenges to the profession as the profile of those practicing law has changed over the last several decades. Although women and minorities have made significant inroads into the profession, attorneys with disabilities remain the "forgotten diversity group." Many members of the bar continue to believe that these attorneys are primarily limited by their medical problems rather than any bias in the profession. They do not embrace disability as a …

This article responds to the difficulty that lawyers sometimes face in maintaining the balance between protecting their clients’ legal interests and translating complex legislative provisions into plain language that conveys the appropriate message to the intended audience. Using the example of a consumer credit contract transaction, Part II highlighted common drafting challenges. With these difficulties in mind, Part III discussed the theory of teaching legal skills, with a particular focus on teaching the skill of legal drafting, suggesting that a scaffolded experiential approach to skills development is an effective way to nurture the development of students’ legal drafting skills.

Chinese Courts' Role In Financial Reform: On The First "Vam Agreement" Case In China, Siyi Huang

Traditional belief is that courts in authoritarian regimes are only passive institutions and their authority and influence are extremely limited. Despite the conventional wisdom, it’s been noticed that Chinese courts have played a crucial role in China’s financial reform. Drawing on insights from the judgments of three Chinese courts at different levels on the first “value adjustment mechanism” case in China, this article attempts to explore the functional techniques and decision-making process of Chinese courts. The analysis of the court’ judgments suggests that Chinese courts have performed a policy-making function in deciding controversial economic cases, by transcending social and business …

Attorney Mark O’Mara’s use of social media as part of the defense strategy in the representation of George Zimmerman, who was prosecuted for the death of Trayvon Martin, highlighted the use of social media in the practice of law, and because of the tremendous media coverage of the trial, facilitated a robust conversation on whether the legal profession’s use of social media is the “new normal.” In fact, lawyers’ increasing use of social media is evidenced by a growing body of case law, ethics opinions, and journal articles discussing the propriety of using social media in areas such as investigation, …
