Attorney Solicitation: The Scope Of State Regulation After Primus And Ohralik, David A. Rabin Oct 1978

Attorney Solicitation: The Scope Of State Regulation After Primus And Ohralik, David A. Rabin

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The purpose of this article is to analyze the opinions in Primus and Ohralik, to delineate the scope of permissible state regulation in the wake of those two decisions, and to recommend specific changes in existing state solicitation rules. Part I examines the general nature of attorney solicitation law - by whom it is made and how it is enforced. Part II describes the statutory and constitutional aspects of solicitation law prior to Primus and Ohralik. Part III discusses the Court's holdings in Primus and Ohralik, and the changes in current statutory schemes required by the two …


The Legal Profession: Client Interests, Professional Roles, And Social Hierarchies, John P. Heinz, Edward O. Laumann Jun 1978

The Legal Profession: Client Interests, Professional Roles, And Social Hierarchies, John P. Heinz, Edward O. Laumann

Michigan Law Review

There is a natural urge to study the extreme. The extreme case is likely to be conspicuous and dramatic. Sociological research on the American legal profession has not, for the most part, resisted the urge. The best-known studies examine lawyers at the extremes of the profession's prestige hierarchy-e.g., Carlin's study of solo practitioners and Smigel's study of the Wall Street lawyer. The profession's center has more often been neglected and few data are available on the bar's overall social structure. Ladinsky's study .of Detroit lawyers covers all types and specialities, and contributes substantially to our understanding of the …


The Professions And Noncommercial Purposes: Applicability Of Per Se Rules Under The Sherman Act, Jonathan Cobb Dickey Apr 1978

The Professions And Noncommercial Purposes: Applicability Of Per Se Rules Under The Sherman Act, Jonathan Cobb Dickey

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will examine the doctrine of noncommercial purpose in the professional context and assess whether conduct undertaken by the professions conforms to the presumptions underlying the per se doctrine. It is the thesis of this article that the per se doctrine should not preclude inquiry into whether a valid noncommercial purpose justifies conduct undertaken in good faith by a profession to regulate its membership or to advance some other public interest. This article concludes that, with respect to professions, the goals of the Sherman Act are better served by inquiry into noncommercial purposes and application of the rule of …


Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge, Richard Lempert Jan 1978

Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge, Richard Lempert

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

The article was orginally submitted jointly with Dr. Jay Schulman as prepared testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Improvement of Judicial Machinery. The subcommittee was considering Senate Bill 2074, an omnibus bill which would have required all United States District Courts to switch from twelve to six member juries in civil cases and would have decreased the number of available peremptory challenges in civil cases from three to two. Upon completion of the hearings on this bill, these provisions were deleted from the version sent to the full Committee. It should be noted that most District Courts by local …

The Corporate And Securities Adviser, The Public Interest, And Professional Ethics, Simon M. Lorne Jan 1978

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 …
