Survey Of Literature On Discovery From 1970 To The Present: Expressed Dissatisfactions And Proposed Reforms, Daniel Segal

Federal Judicial Center Reports

Eight years have passed since the last major revision of the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. During those years, there has been a substantial amount of writing on the discovery rules. While much of it has been aimed at helping practitioners understand the rules, a large portion has been critical in nature, examining how well the rules are functioning, isolating their problem areas and making suggestions for reform. It was the purpose of the study on which this Report is based to survey and analyze that critical literature. The Report's first section sets out in detail …

Judicial Controls And The Civil Litigative Process: Discovery, Paul R. Connolly, Edith A. Holleman, Michael J. Kuhlman

Federal Judicial Center Reports

This report should be viewed as a beginning. It explores from one perspective the operation of the federal rules governing discovery as revealed in more than 7,000 docketed requests appearing in more than 3,000 terminated cases in six United States district courts, (A survey of practitioners in the six districts suggests that the docketed requests cover the great bulk of discovery activity.) The report is a continuation of the Center's District court studies Project, the first report of which (Case Management and Court Management in United States District Court) appeared several months ago.

The Legal Persona: An Essay On The Professional Mask, James R. Elkins

Law Faculty Scholarship

The legal profession offers little opportunity for the practitioner to analyze the fundamental constructs underlying the legal system or the dynamics of the lawyering process. Jurisprudence and legal education traditionally have emphasized the external aspects of law, implying that man is a rational decisionmaker who freely controls his life and shapes societal institutions., This approach is unrealistic because it neglects the psychological dimension of man and the complexity of man's behavior. Jurisprudential scholars and legal educators should recognize that a growing body of sophisticated literature in linguistics and anthropology as well as social psychology and psychiatry is also relevant to …

The Legal Profession: Client Interests, Professional Roles, And Social Hierarchies, John P. Heinz, Edward O. Laumann

Michigan Law Review

There is a natural urge to study the extreme. The extreme case is likely to be conspicuous and dramatic. Sociological research on the American legal profession has not, for the most part, resisted the urge. The best-known studies examine lawyers at the extremes of the profession's prestige hierarchy-e.g., Carlin's study of solo practitioners and Smigel's study of the Wall Street lawyer. The profession's center has more often been neglected and few data are available on the bar's overall social structure. Ladinsky's study .of Detroit lawyers covers all types and specialities, and contributes substantially to our understanding of the …
