Attorney's Fees: Where Shall The Ultimate Burden Lie?, James H. Cheek, Iii

Vanderbilt Law Review

Unfettered access to the courts is the cornerstone of the American concept of justice, yet even today we are far from achieving this ideal. Recently much progress has been achieved in improved legal services for the poor;' but the poor will never have completely free access to the courts unless the American rule that each litigant must bear the burden of paying his own attorney's fees is changed...

Since the first note of protest in 1925, a few writers, recognizing the intimate relationship between attorney's fees and full relief for the wronged party, have urged the adoption of some form …

Supplement--The Class Of 1951, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Communications between the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School and alumni have improved rather dramatically in recent years. The appearance of Law Quadrangle Notes in 1957 was followed in 1960-1961 by the organization of the Law School Fund and in 1962 by the first meeting of the Committee of Visitors. As a result of these and other activities, the faculty and the alumni are better acquainted. But, as is so often true, a little information seems only to generate the need for more.

In order to test the utility of comprehensive information about graduates, former Dean A. F. …

Unauthorized Practice Of Law-Union Program Of Hiring Attorneys Is Unauthorized Practice Of Law--Illinois State Bar Ass'n V. United Mine Workers Of America, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

District 12 of the United Mine Workers (UMW) employed an attorney on a salary basis to prosecute members' claims under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Members were free to employ other counsel, but if they sought help from the union lawyer, the union agreed not to interfere with the attorney-client relationship. The attorney prepared his case from filed reports of the accidents, and, generally, his first contact with the union member was when they appeared before the Commission. Since the attorney was compensated by the union, the entire amount received in award or settlement went to the member. The Illinois Bar …

Ann Arbor And Legal Aid, James J. White

Articles

Since the leasing of its office in August 1965, the Washtenaw County Legal Aid Society has been open nearly 50 hours per week and has been staffed exclusively by second and third-year law students from the University of Michigan Law School. The bulk of the practice has been in family law--divorce, support, custody--but there have been a substantial number of creditor-debtor cases, a handful of misdemeanor defense cases, and a large batch of miscellaneous cases.

Women In The Law, James J. White

Articles

IN 1869 Belle A. Mansfield, reputedly the first female lawyer admitted to practice in the United States, was admitted to the state bar of Iowa. Others soon followed her and this dribble of women entering the legal profession has grown to a persistent and continuous trickle in the twentieth century, but it shows no signs of becoming a flood. At last count approximately 7,000 out of America's 300,000 listed lawyers were women. Since the practice of law-even in the most masculine and aggressive Perry Mason style-does not require a strong back, large muscles, or any of the other peculiarly male …

Preliminary Notes Toward A Study Of Judicial Notice, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The author describes the common law as a "machine," with judges and lawyers as its working parts. He explains that its successful operation requires a kind of "intellectual adrenalin" in order to keep it responsive to its changing environment. This is the function of judicial notice. The author next examines the different views of judicial notice and points out that each is a reflection of the era in which it was created. He concludes that judicial notice is not a distinct doctrine like the hearsay rule, but rather is simply the art of thinking as practiced within the legal system.

Trademarks-Successful Plaintiffs In Trademark Infringement Actions Under The Lanham Act May Not Recover Attorney's Fees-Maier Brewing Co. V. Fleischmann Distilling Corp., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In an action for trademark infringement under the Lanham Act and for unfair competition, the District Court enjoined the defendant company from further use of the trademark and awarded the plaintiff $60,000 in attorney's fees. On appeal, held, reversed in part. The issuance of the injunction was upheld but the court declared that attorney's fees are not recoverable in trademark infringement cases prosecuted under the Lanham Act since Congress had not expressly provided for such awards.

Attorney-Client-Client's Right To Engage Out-Of-State Attorney For Advice Concerning Federal Claim Is A Privilege And Immunity Of National Citizenship--Spanos V. Skouras Theatre Corp., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The state and federal courts, existing side by side within the boundaries of each state, separately control admission to practice law before their respective bars. Although membership in a state bar is generally a prerequisite for admission to the bar of a federal court, the two systems do function under separate and distinct ground rules, and they appear to have done so with a minimum of friction. However, the principal case is indicative of the problems that may arise when state policy on the right to practice law within the state conflicts with federal policy.

[Review Of] Richard A. Levine & George D. Horning, Jr., Manual Of Federal Practice, Sherman L. Cohn

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Today the federal court is becoming increasingly familiar to the average attorney. Gone is the day when federal practice was limited to a select bar in the largest cities. Going is the day when an attorney can economically and realistically limit himself to the state court practice. Social Security, government contract, tax, labor, federal tort matters now bring the federal presence into every hamlet. Every Congress increases that presence and the occasion for federal court litigation-our increasingly mobile society renders a diversity case more and more usual. Yet many attorneys outside the District of Columbia have not the slightest acquaintance …

A Tribute To Chief Judge Tuttle, Earl Warren

Georgia Law Review

It is entirely fitting that this new and lively journal of the law should be paying tribute to Judge Elbert P. Tuttle. For though he has relinquished his position as Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit because of the statutory age limit he continues to serve that court and to stand for what is young and vibrant and progressive in his State, in the South and throughout the country. I am honored to have been invited to add my few words in praise of a great Judge.

Judge Tuttle came to the federal …

Chief Judge Tuttle And The Fifth Circuit, John M. Wisdom

Georgia Law Review

Before putting pen to paper I asked two men who have worked closely with Elbert Tuttle how, in a word, they would describe his outstanding quality. One of the men is the Deputy Clerk of Court for the Fifth Circuit; the other is a member of our court. The overburdened Deputy Clerk somehow remembered that Judge Tuttle's first opinion concerned electric motors. He hesitated a moment, then answered, "Judge Tuttle's been going like an electric motor ever since his first opinion back in October 1954." Our brother judge did not hesitate. "I can give it to you in one word: …
