Corporations - Stockholders - Availability Of Federal Remedy As Basis For Denial Of Attorney Fees In Derivative Action, Jerome Prewoznik Feb 1957

Corporations - Stockholders - Availability Of Federal Remedy As Basis For Denial Of Attorney Fees In Derivative Action, Jerome Prewoznik

Michigan Law Review

Defendants were directors of Merritt, Chapman and Scott Corporation and of Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. simultaneously. Plaintiff, a stockholder in Merritt, instituted a derivative suit to compel the resignation of defendants from their positions with Ward on the ground that an interlocking directorate existed making Merritt subject to criminal and civil prosecution under federal law. Defendants resigned before judgment. Plaintiff, arguing that its suit was the cause of the resignations and that Merritt was thereby benefited, moved for an award of counsel fees to be assessed against Merritt. Held, application for counsel fee denied. Plaintiff could have achieved …

Matt Excell - Trial Lawyer Extraordinary, Elmer E. Mcnulty Jan 1957

Matt Excell - Trial Lawyer Extraordinary, Elmer E. Mcnulty

Cleveland State Law Review

One day, in the civil assignment room, Matt Excell said to me: "When the Lord made that lawyer (pointing to one) he hand-carved him, and when He was making him (pointing to another) He was called to the telephone." If his own definition were to be applied to Matthew B. Excell, he was a lawyer "hand-carved by God." This story pertains to the period in which I knew, worked and lived with him in court and in the preparation of cases for court.

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey Jan 1957

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey

Cleveland State Law Review

Some one once observed that the size of a man is measured by the size of the things that he will let bother him. Which is to say, that what concerns the legal profession, and those who aspire to enter it, is the adequacy of the job that is being done. The great majority of the lawyers have had training in the law schools of the country - very few come to the practice today via law office study. The practicing profession is, therefore, but the mirror that reflects the schools in which the lawyers were trained. If the bench …


Symbolic Logic: A Razor-Edged Tool For Drafting And Interpreting Legal Documents, Layman E. Allen Jan 1957

Symbolic Logic: A Razor-Edged Tool For Drafting And Interpreting Legal Documents, Layman E. Allen

Articles

A large amount of the litigation based on written instruments-whether statute, contract, will, conveyance or regulation-can be traced to the draftsman's failure to convey his meaning clearly. Frequently, of course, certain items may purposely be left ambiguous, but often the question in issue is due to an inadvertent ambiguity that could have been avoided had the draftsman clearly expressed what he intended to say. In this Article it is suggested that a new approach to drafting, using certain elementary notions of symbolic logic, can go a long way towards eliminating such inadvertent ambiguity. This new approach makes available to draftsmen …


Reforms Needed In Negligence Practice, Howard L. Oleck Jan 1957

Reforms Needed In Negligence Practice, Howard L. Oleck

Cleveland State Law Review

Negligence lawyers now often are classed with criminal lawyers, in public opinion, as the "black sheep" of the legal profession. In the minds of many average Americans, there is something vaguely disreputable about lawyers who specialize in plaintiffs' personal injury practice. Nor is defense practice deemed to be without blemish. That public opinion now is so well established, rightly or wrongly, that it no longer can be ignored.

The Beginning, Flourishing And Decline Of The Inns Of Court: The Consolidation Of The English Legal Profession After 1400, Anton Hermann Chroust Dec 1956

The Beginning, Flourishing And Decline Of The Inns Of Court: The Consolidation Of The English Legal Profession After 1400, Anton Hermann Chroust

Vanderbilt Law Review

The origin and history of the Inns of Court, their relation to each other and to the English legal profession, and their subsequent decline, pose some puzzling problems which often do not admit of a precise or uniform answer. This paper, however, will attempt to clarify some of the following questions: When and under what conditions did the lawyers of England move into common dwelling places or Inns? Why did they cluster together in a strip of land which was surrounded on the south by the River Thames, on the east by the old City of London, on the north …


Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch Nov 1956

Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch

Washington Law Review

The subject of my remarks indicates that at some time in the past and as of now advocacy has been practiced. To me advocacy is the backbone and the real strength of justice in this great land of ours. The term "advocate" has been linked with the legal profession—and properly so—from the beginning of time. We are a profession that has always taken an objective point of view, as contrasted with the negative or defensive point of view, to the end that principles and ideals shall be maintained.

Necessity As A Justification: A Critique Of Perka, Donald Galloway Jun 1956

Necessity As A Justification: A Critique Of Perka, Donald Galloway

Dalhousie Law Journal

In his characteristically trenchant and influential investigation, "A Plea for Excuses",' J. L. Austin reminded us that we can and do use different strategies of defending a person when it is claimed that he has done wrong. He drew attention to two distinct tactics: One way of going about this (defending a person) is to admit that he, X, did that very thing, A, but to argue that it was a good thing, or the right or sensible thing, or a permissible thing to do . . . To take this line is to justify the action, to give reasons …

Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens Mar 1956

Our Inadequate Attorneys' Lien Statutes—A Suggestion, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The average attorney has little interest in, nor does he realize the inadequacy of, the attorney's lien laws of his state—until he finds himself personally involved. Yet, a glance at the law reviews and pertinent cases indicates that the organized bar and its individual members should show more than a casual interest in the number and variety of problems arising in this field.
