Governmental And Private Advocates For The Public Interest In Civil Litigation: A Comparative Study, Mauro Cappellitti

Michigan Law Review

This article examines the means by which public and group interests are represented in civil proceedings throughout the world. I have focused particular attention upon the Ministère public--a French institution imported by a large number of countries--and its analogues, the Attorney General in the common-law countries and the Prokuratura in the socialist world. The Ministère public is, and has been through its centuries-long history, an institutional method for assuring that the "public interest"--or the "collective" or "general interest,'' or the "social concern"--is adequately represented in civil litigation. Yet, other solutions have been utilized--to some extent, even in France--in lieu …

Some Comments On Proposals For Reform Of The Federal Appellate Court System, Terrance Sandalow

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

In response to growing concern over the rapidly increasing caseloads of the federal courts of appeal, the 92nd Congress established the Commission on Revision of the Federal Court Appellate System. The Commission was instructed "to study the structure and internal procedures of the federal courts of appeal system" and to recommend such "changes in structure or internal procedure as may be appropriate for the expeditious and effective disposition of the caseload of the Federal courts of appeal...."

In April 1975, the Commission issued a preliminary report of its views. Among the recommendations contained in that report was a proposal that …

The Inns Of Court, Edson R. Sunderland

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Edson R. Sutherland was Professor of Law at the University of Michgian from 1901-1944 and Professor Emeritus until 1959. This manuscript, based on original research by Prof. Sunderland and presented orally in 1951 to a faculty group from all parts of the University, hasbeen found only recently among his papers. The idea of publishing the piece came from Thomas V. Koykka, Class of 1930, a student of Sunderlands who knew him quite well from service with him on the University board in control of student publications. At Mr. Koykka's suggestion that the piece ought to have "a wider audience than …

The Clinical Law Experiment: Michigan's First Five Years, Steven D. Pepe

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Many Michigan law alumni continue to inquire about the Clinical Law Program, now entering its fifth year of fulltime operation. Prof. Al Conard's "Letter from the Law Clinic" in the fall, 1973, Law Quadrangle Notes gave a perceptive and entertaining glimpse into some of the case situations at the clinic and the types of learning in which clinic students are engaged. This article will sketch the development and operation of our clinical experiment in legal education. A future article will explore the goals, methodology, and problems of clinical legal education. A third and final article will focus on a particular …

Lawyers And Professionalism: A Further Psychiatric Perspective On Legal Education, Andrew S. Watson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In recent years, clinical teaching methods have played an increasingly significant role in the education of this nation's lawyers. With the consequential accumulation of data pertaining to various institutional experiences, it is now worthwhile to explore, from a clinician's perspective, some of the psychodynamics of this educational process as it appears to affect a student's future professional behavior. In addition to such an examination, this article will delineate methods for dealing with the stresses of a lawyer's professional life, suggesting ways in which the attorney may satisfy his goals as well as those of his client. It is hoped that …

The Sherman Act And Bar Admission Residence Requirements, Harvey Freedenberg

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will focus on the restrictive aspects of residence qualifications for admission to the state bar. Such restrictions are significant in three cases: initial admission to the bar, relocation by a foreign attorney, and multistate practice by an attorney admitted to the bar in another state. An attempt will be made to determine whether these requirements might be invalid under the Sherman Act and to analyze the case for their abolition. The commercial counterpart of professional entry restrictions has been termed "the very essence of monopoly,” and on this basis it is submitted that further freedom from antitrust scrutiny …
