The Lawyer As Legal Scholar, Michael J. Madison
The Lawyer As Legal Scholar, Michael J. Madison
Articles
I review Eugene Volokh's recent book, Academic Legal Writing. The book is nominally directed to law students and those who teach them (and for those audiences, it is outstanding), but it also contains a number of valuable lessons for published scholars. The book is more than a writing manual, however. I argue that Professor Volokh suggests implicitly that scholarship is underappreciated as a dimension of the legal profession. A well-trained lawyer, in other words, should have experience as a scholar. The argument sheds new light on ongoing discussions about the character of law schools.

Riddikulus!: Tenure-Track Legal Writing Faculty And The Boggart In The Wardrobe, Mary Beth Beazley
Riddikulus!: Tenure-Track Legal Writing Faculty And The Boggart In The Wardrobe, Mary Beth Beazley
Scholarly Works
Professor Beazley compares myths to boggarts in this examination of the reasons schools cite when explaining their lack of tenure-track positions for legal writing faculty. These boggarts are the living myths that pop out and whisper in faculty ears whenever someone suggests that law schools should create tenure-track - or even permanent - faculty positions in legal writing. Although some faculties have defeated these boggarts, they are still out there, popping out not from under the bed or from behind the closet door, but at lunch in the faculty lounge, after the committee meeting, and during the conversation in the …

Preface, Philip Girard
Dalhousie Law Journal
The foreword to the first issue of the Dalhousie Law Journal (September 1973) stated that the editors commenced the enterprise "without lofty pretensions." If the newjournal' s existence served "to encourage creative research and writing among law teachers, among students, and generally among the legal profession and related disciplines, that may be justification." The editors nonetheless concluded with a lofty enough mission statement: "we shall be endeavouring to produce a stimulating journal exemplifying those qualities that most people would characterize as scholarly, among them thoroughness, precision of thought, independence of judgment." The Editorial Board believes that the Journal has fulfilled …

Lawyering And Client Decisionmaking: Informed Consent And The Legal Profession, Mark Spiegel
Lawyering And Client Decisionmaking: Informed Consent And The Legal Profession, Mark Spiegel
Mark Spiegel
In this Article, Professor Spiegel examines the doctrine of informed consent as it relates to the legal profession. The Article first traces the development of the informed-consent doctrine and then considers the extent to which current legal doctrines and professional norms incorporate informed consent between lawyers and their clients. Professor Spiegel suggests that the predominant focus of informed consent is on a lawyer’s power to bind his client vis-à-vis third parties and advocates for the development of an informed-consent doctrine that accounts for the interests of all parties involved. Professor Spiegel concludes with a discussion of the application of his …

Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The teaching of skills that result in sound legislative drafting is neglected in law schools, and professionalism in legislative drafting is lacking on both the federal and state fronts. With the adoption by the American Bar Association of seven major principles relating to the drafting of federal legislation, perhaps there is more hope now that there will be a move toward professionalism.

Automation And The Lawyer, F. Reed Dickerson
Automation And The Lawyer, F. Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Computers and automation have brought about what some have called the "Second Industrial Revolution." But automation is most frequently considered and discussed as it applies to industry or to scientific research. In this article, Professor Dickerson points out that lawyers, too, are already greatly affected by the age of automation. Computers can probably be most useful to lawyers in the area of research, but as the writer indicates, they can and are being used for such diverse things as estate planning, legislative redistricting and predicting in advance the outcome of judicial decisions.
The Diseases Of Legislative Language, Reed Dickerson
The Diseases Of Legislative Language, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In this article Professor Dickerson examines some of the most basic problems facing the legislative draftsman in his attempt to obtain clarity in statutes. He discusses the "diseases" of ambiguity, over-vagueness, over-precision, over- and under-generality and obesity, and distinguishes them from useful devices with which they are often confused.

The Law Of Citation And Citation Of Law, Chin-Shih Tang
The Law Of Citation And Citation Of Law, Chin-Shih Tang
Dalhousie Law Journal
Legal citation is based primarily upon the writing habits of a particular profession - lawyers. In all its form, it is mostly a matter of convention, sometimes learned, always untaught. As one of the technical subjects in law, it may well be the most difficult topic in legal research and writing. This is partly because its method tends to concern more with adopted convention than with the abstraction of principles governing the intricacies of citation. Partly it is because there are more precedents for the adoption of a specific convention than there is for the law of citation itself. The …
