The Practice Of Law As Moral Discourse, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

The beginning and end of a lawyer's professional life is talking with a client about what is to be done. I My claim here is that this is a moral conversation. I will suggest three ethical orientations which seem to govern the conversation, and then weigh the adequacy of each of the three orientations.

On Choosing Clients And Careers: A Speculative Essay On The Problems Of Initial Choice, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

This paper deals with the moral dimensions of initial choices of careers and clients. Although the foregoing tale is addressed to the initial choice of career, similar considerations enter into the initial choice of clients. The problems of initial career choice were highlighted because they are more immediate to law students.' In addition, one's choice of career may have a significant effect on future choices of clients.

In order for a lawyer to make an initial choice of either career or client, moral questions of the first rank must be answered. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these …

A Review: Unequal Justice: Lawyers And Social Change In Modern America, Lawrence Mayberry

IUSTITIA

Unequal Justice is a social history of the legal profession from the emergence of The American Bar Association in the 1870's until the 1970's. Auerbach is a professional historian and not a member of the legal profession who writes history, nor is he a sociologist. But before his graduate work in history, the author entered and quickly left law school. The honesty with which he relates the experience and the competent research and analysis manifest in his work demonstrate that he writes this book from a perspective of understanding rather than of bitterness or indifference. In fact Auerbach's unique frame …

Future Roles For Lawyers: Reflections On Crossing The Bar, Thomas Ehrlich

Cleveland State Law Review

Sometime ago, the New York Times reported that Erwin Griswold -former Dean of the Harvard Law School, former President of the American Bar Foundation, former Solicitor General of the United States, and one of my own mentors and friends -was asked whether all private lawyers should donate some of their time and talents to serving the poor. "Should carpenters build houses free?" he responded. The question was obviously intended as rhetorical, but in view of Mr. Griswold's stature in the legal profession his analogy deserves serious consideration, and his views deserve a serious response. My comments attempt to provide that …

Consensual Government "The Morality of Consent" by Alexander M. Bickel

Reviewed by Ernest van den Haag

Bickel wanted to make the scope of the law comprehensive enough to proclaim the norms that are consensually perceived to be necessary to social life, yet to let individuals and groups pursue their choices without being forced to conform altogether to majority views or being strapped into judicial strait jackets. His work, and the unifying theme of this posthumous collection of essays, very largely consisted of elaborations of his answer to the question: how can we define the province of constitutional interpretation so as …

The Unpopularity Of Lawyers In America, Jon R. Waltz

Cleveland State Law Review

What's wrong with us lawyers? Mainly, it is that the worst among us pose for our portrait, so that we are viewed as avaricious and egomaniacal, all flair and no substance, seeking and wielding power without having the strength of character to wield it well. Lost to the public is the portrait of most lawyers, the sorts of lawyers that I hope this University produces. They are quiet people who come to the law, and stay with it, because they know that the law's power lets them help people make the best of a trying world.

Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The teaching of skills that result in sound legislative drafting is neglected in law schools, and professionalism in legislative drafting is lacking on both the federal and state fronts. With the adoption by the American Bar Association of seven major principles relating to the drafting of federal legislation, perhaps there is more hope now that there will be a move toward professionalism.
