If We Don't Take Care Of Young Lawyers, Who Will?, Gary A. Munneke

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

There are now more than 450,000 lawyers in this country, almost double the number of 20 years ago. The American Association of Law Schools estimates that the number of law student graduates averages about 34,000 a year. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor projects that there will be 26,400 new legal jobs each year until 1985. If law school enrollments stay at their current level, that would mean about 8,000 graduates each year would not be able to find a law-related job.

General Thoughts On Admission To Practice In The Federal Courts Of The United States, Robert L. Bogomolny

Cleveland State Law Review

The need for improvement in the quality of practice of law has resulted in a recent tendency to look to two major areas as sources for this improvement. These sources are relatively obvious but need to be restated. The first involves the quality of legal education, particularly in areas dealing with advocacy and adequate representation of clients. The second area involves qualification for admission to the practice of law. What is needed is a critical evaluation of all of the proposals for reform of the quality of advocacy in the courts. It is possible that some may miss the central …

Altruism And Professionalism: Boston And The Rise Of Organized Legal Aid, 1900-1925, Part Ii, Michael Grossberg

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The Boston Legal Aid Society was founded in 1900. In the years after 1910, led by General Counsel Reginald Heber Smith, the Society assumed leadership of the fledgling movement to offer legal services to the urban poor. Under its influence the first organized attack on the legal problems of the impoverished was launched. The effort had its origins in the social and professional crises that beset turn of the century American cities and lawyers. As described in the first installment of this article, the major difficulty facing the movement during this generative era was how to balance the conflicting demands …

The Corporate And Securities Adviser, The Public Interest, And Professional Ethics, Simon M. Lorne

Michigan Law Review

It is the thesis of this Article that we, as a society, need to make deliberate decisions about the proper role of the corporate adviser, and, when that function has been defined, to develop a structure within which it can be performed. As the Article makes clear, the logical choices involve what might be described as either revolutionary change or reactionary change. That is, the current trends should either be accelerated or reversed; the present situation is intolerable. While the author will contend that the case for shifting into reverse is more persuasive, getting into a gear, and out of …

A Lesson From Trollope For Counselors At Law, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

This article is about the process by which a person makes up his mind. In literature, the making up of a character's mind is a stage on which an author lets you know about his people and about his time. An example is Huckleberry Finn deciding whether to report Jim, his companion and a runaway slave. I propose to consider another example of a literary character making up his mind-the story of Septimus Harding and the sinecure, in The Warden, a quaint Victorian ecclesiastical tale by Anthony Trollope.

Lawyers spend hours helping their clients make up their minds. The process …

Applicability Of Federal Antidiscrimination Legislation To The Selection Of A Law Partner, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The decision by the members of a law partnership to invite an associate of the firm to become a partner involves careful consideration of the associate's qualifications. Recently some associates who have been denied advancement to partnership have alleged improper consideration of religion, national origin, or sex in the partner selection process. There are, of course, practical difficulties in proving discrimination in the subjective context of partnership selection. Assuming clear evidence of such discrimination, this Note addresses the question whether an associate may invoke the protection of federal antidiscrimination legislation.
