Approaches And Stumbling Blocks To Integration Of Skills Training And The Traditional Methods Of Teaching Law, W. Noel Keyes Jan 1980

Approaches And Stumbling Blocks To Integration Of Skills Training And The Traditional Methods Of Teaching Law, W. Noel Keyes

Cleveland State Law Review

Having practiced for many years before becoming a law professor, the author felt compelled to look at the problem of how to integrate practical training into traditional methods for teaching law. It was soon evident that the solution could not be found if one took a pejorative attitude, dwelling on negative terminology such as "anti-intellectualism," but only if it was recognized that law study has little meaning without a concurrent study of its practice. This commentary will propose a mode for accomplishing this integration.


A Practical Approach To Representation Of A Client During A Federal Antitrust Grand Jury Investigation, Carl L. Steinhouse Jan 1980

A Practical Approach To Representation Of A Client During A Federal Antitrust Grand Jury Investigation, Carl L. Steinhouse

Cleveland State Law Review

Generally, in white-collar crime situations, particularly antitrust, the first time a client may know he is under investigation is after the grand jury proceedings have commenced. The client will usually find out about the investigation through the industry grapevine, through the receipt of a subpoena by his employer or through a subpoena ad testificandum to an individual in his company. It is necessary for an attorney to understand the investigative process in order to properly represent his client in the antitrust proceedings that follow.

The Proposed Product Liability Statute In Ohio - Its Purpose And Probable Results, George D. Roscoe

Cleveland State Law Review

This note will deal with the effects of proposed Senate Bill No. 67 on product liability law as it is now practiced in Ohio, including:1) The types of claims the proposed legislation would preclude due to a time lag between the date of purchase and the date of injury; 2) the effects this proposed legislation would have upon lawsuits whose out-comes depend upon technical applications of the various statutes of limitations now in effect, which depend on whether the claim is based on written or oral contract, tort, implied or express warranty, or professional malpractice; 3) the legislation's consideration of …


The Summary Jury Trial, Thomas D. Lambros, Thomas H. Shunk Jan 1980

The Summary Jury Trial, Thomas D. Lambros, Thomas H. Shunk

Cleveland State Law Review

The American judicial system must necessarily rely on a steady flow of dispositions of cases by settlement lest it collapse because of a demand for trials beyond the ability of the courts to try cases. Settlements are achieved through a variety of procedures and techniques, yet many cases result in trials because of the uncertainty about prospective juror perceptions that pervades settlement discussions. Summary trial helps to eliminate this element of uncertainty and, at the same time, provides an additional basis for settlement of cases otherwise committed to trial. This is not to suggest that trial is to be avoided …


The Putative Defendant In A Federal Grand Jury Investigation, Edward F. Marek Jan 1980

The Putative Defendant In A Federal Grand Jury Investigation, Edward F. Marek

Cleveland State Law Review

This article will examine substantive and procedural considerations arising in connection with the representation of a putative defendant or a subpoenaed witness who may become exposed to criminal charges or contempt in the course of a grand jury investigation. Subtle as well as obvious applications of the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination will be addressed. In addition, certain problem areas will be explored such as whether a "target" of a grand jury investigation who is under subpoena can legally avoid an appearance, or whether illegally obtained evidence can be used to obtain an indictment, or whether and under what circumstances …

Prefatory Remark, Howard H. Baker Jr. Jan 1980

Prefatory Remark, Howard H. Baker Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

I am honored to have been invited to offer some brief remarks on the problems and challenges confronting American legal education. As a lawyer and legislator, I have seen both the strengths and weaknesses of our legal system, and I believe that some changes may well be in order if we are to address successfully the challenges that lie ahead.


The Role Of The Law School In The Teaching Of Legal Ethics And Professional Responsibility, Warren E. Burger Jan 1980

The Role Of The Law School In The Teaching Of Legal Ethics And Professional Responsibility, Warren E. Burger

Cleveland State Law Review

My thesis is simple and straightforward. Every law school has a profound duty-and a unique opportunity-to inculcate principles of professional ethics and standards in its students. This duty should permeate the entire educational experience beginning with the first hour of the first day in law school.


The Search For Good Lawyering: A Concept And Model Of Lawyering Competencies, H. Russell Cort, Jack L. Sammons Jan 1980

The Search For Good Lawyering: A Concept And Model Of Lawyering Competencies, H. Russell Cort, Jack L. Sammons

Cleveland State Law Review

Every task performed by a lawyer can be analyzed and evaluated as a manifestation of that lawyer's underlying abilities. A system for analyzing these tasks, when conducted in a valid and consistent manner, could eventually result in the creation of standards for all legal education, ranging from teaching methods and curriculum design to questions of student retention and lawyer certification. The Competency-Based Task Force of the Antioch School of Law has been working on such a system for six years and believes that a workable model has been developed. The purpose of this article is to describe and explain that …

A New Model For Legal Communication: Sensory Experience And Representational Systems, John L. Barkai

Cleveland State Law Review

The discussion will demonstrate how human beings create sensory-based models of the parts of the world they experience' and how these models affect the communication process. The three principal sensory-based channels of communication will be described, and the article will explain how both knowledge and use of these channels can improve the rapport and informational functions of communication. Emphasis will be placed on the lawyer's ability to recognize the world model of the people with whom he communicates and to adapt his own process of communication to insure that …


Love, Professional Responsibility, The Rule Of Law, And Clinical Legal Education, Steven H. Leleiko Jan 1980

Love, Professional Responsibility, The Rule Of Law, And Clinical Legal Education, Steven H. Leleiko

Cleveland State Law Review

The primary purpose of this article is to explore the tensions which arise in persons who come to law school because they view the practice of law as an expression of their love and concern for people. In examining the underlying causes of these tensions, six related factors will be looked at: (1) the relationship between the values of traditional legal education and the support or lack of support which these values afford to the affective characteristics of students; (2) the role of one's job as a means of expressing love; (3) the role of job satisfaction in one's life; …


Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare Jan 1980

Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare

Cleveland State Law Review

In the past, law school graduates were molded into lawyers through along period of training. However, the modern legal community - law firms, law staffs of corporations and government agencies, bar associations, continuing legal education institutes and law schools - has begun to implement a whole new philosophy of legal training predicated upon the direct teaching of legal practice skills rather than the experience orientated process.


Executive Order 12,114 - Environmental Effects Abroad: Does It Really Further The Purpose Of Nepa, Francis M. Allegra Jan 1980

Executive Order 12,114 - Environmental Effects Abroad: Does It Really Further The Purpose Of Nepa, Francis M. Allegra

Cleveland State Law Review

Executive order 12,144 is a cross-product of two separate vectors. On one axis it is a statement of foreign policy directing administrative review of the extra territorial environmental effects of major federal activities. On the other it is an alleged resolution of a long-standing intergovernmental controversy concerning the applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to major federal actions having solely nondomestic environmental impacts. In either context, the Order should be viewed as an attempt by the United States to assume a more responsible role in world environmental affairs. This note will examine the Executive Order and compare …


Corporate Filings In Ohio: A Procedural Guide, Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr., John J. Biancamano Jan 1980

Corporate Filings In Ohio: A Procedural Guide, Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr., John J. Biancamano

Cleveland State Law Review

The office of the Secretary of State is the official repository for records relating to profit and non-profit Ohio corporations, foreign corporations licensed to transact business in this state and a number of other business related filings. Procedures for most filings with the Secretary of State are spelled out in various chapters of the Ohio Revised Code and forms for many of the transactions are readily available. Nevertheless, more than ten percent of the documents submitted for filing in 1980 were rejected for failure to comply with Code requirements. The rejection of a document causes obvious problems for the filing …
