University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In analyzing the package of Tenant Rights Bills enacted in Michigan in 1968 this article will focus on three questions: 1) whether such legislation raises false hopes in being heralded as a major declaration of rights and an effort to solve the problem of housing shortage; 2) whether such legislation actually further oppresses tenants, especially in their exercise of the one effective instrument in their power: collective action; and 3) whether such legislation significantly changes the …


Group Legal Services For Trade Associations, Richard D. Copaken Apr 1968

Group Legal Services For Trade Associations, Richard D. Copaken

Michigan Law Review

This Article will examine the goals of the Canons of Professional Ethics in this trade association context, noting the pre-Button limitations on the representation of members of such associations, and analyzing the possible impact of the three cases on the development of group legal services in this area. Hopefully, the perspective gained from such an examination may prove useful in the difficult task immediately confronting the legal profession: reformulation of the Canons to bring them into conformity with Button, BRT and UMW while minimizing, on the one hand, the loss of those traditional conceptions which have continuing value and …

Review Of Handbook Of Appellate Advocacy, By M. Josephson., Douglas A. Kahn Jan 1968

Review Of Handbook Of Appellate Advocacy, By M. Josephson., Douglas A. Kahn

I have personally observed a sizeable number of cases which were lost on appeal, not because counsel failed …
