Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus

Cleveland State Law Review

This article is intended to consider the future of group retainers in light of the conflicting views of proponents and opponents. Attention will first be given to the "Canons of Professional Ethics" which affect this subject and the judicial decisions interpreting them. 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.

Disciplinary Proceedings By The S. E. C. Against Attorneys, Paul J. Kemp

Cleveland State Law Review

The securities and exchange commission, created by Section 4 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, has from its earliest days proclaimed its right to determine who may appear before or transact business with it in a representative capacity and in Rule 2 (e) of its present Rules of Practice has reserved to itself the right, in its discretion, to "deny, temporarily or permanently, the privilege of appearing or practicing before it in any way to any person who is found by the Commission after notice of and opportunity for hearing in the matter (1) not to possess the …

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.

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

Cleveland State Law Review

The Supreme Court of Ohio recently completed revision of its Rules of Practice. They became effective on July 1, 1964. 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 …

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.

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.

Alien Lawyers In The United States And Japan—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The steadily increasing economic and social contacts between Japan and the United States are illustrative of a development which has brought lawyers and laymen of all countries face to face with the need for more adequate, and accurate, information about the laws of all countries. Since the lawyer is the fount to which the informed layman turns for legal advice, it would seem quite natural for such a layman, faced with a problem involving foreign law, either to seek advice from his own attorney, or to turn to an alien admitted to the bar of the country, the laws of …

Investigation Of Unauthorized Practice Of Law By Omnibus Proceeding: The Ohio Method, Jerome M. Smith

Michigan Law Review

The practice of law is impressed with a public interest. Whether by representation in a judicial proceeding or by advice on a legal problem, the lawyer renders professional service to the public. Preserving client confidences, assuring unquestioned loyalty, and rendering expert counsel are typical obligations of the legal profession. Another responsibility of lawyers is that of protecting the public from legal practice by unqualified laymen. Three areas of activity are involved in preventing unauthorized practice of law. Lawyers and public officials must define the practice of law/ investigate and prosecute unlicensed practitioners, and by judicial remedy prohibit further unauthorized practice. …

Thirty Years Of Legal Education, Allan F. Smith

Michigan Law Review

A generation of law students has moved through the University of Michigan Law Quadrangle since its dedication on June 13, 1934. The prophecy quoted above has been fulfilled, although the process of its fulfillment has not ended and will not end, for the process of law is indeed "an endless 'becoming.' " Despite the difficulties of carving segments from that which is essentially continuous and unbroken, it seems appropriate to pause at this thirtieth anniversary of the Quadrangle and to observe the segment of time which separates the dedication and the present day.
