The Duty To Report Violations Of The Rules Of Professional Conduct: Alternative Views, Lloyd B. Snyder, Harry D. Cornett Jr.
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Thomas Horwitz wrote a thoughtful, provocative article in the November edition of this Journal critizicing Ohio Advisory Opinion 2007-1. That opinion offers the view of the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline on several features of Rule 8.3 of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 8.3 requires lawyers to report certain violations of the Rules. Failure to report is itself a violation of the Rules. Horwitz not only criticized the advisory opinion, he also disapproved the procedures followed by the Board in formulating its advisory opinion. The authors of this article disagree with Howitz and offer their views …

A Colorado district attorney used deception to get a man who had murdered three people and was threatening to kill again to surrender himself to the police.

Brief Against Homophobia At The Bar: To Law School Dean-Mid 1960s, Joel J. Finer
Brief Against Homophobia At The Bar: To Law School Dean-Mid 1960s, Joel J. Finer
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In the mid-1960s, the author addressed the following "brief" to the Dean of a major law school on behalf of a law student, successfully urging that the Dean not report the student's homosexual activities to the state Bar committee which screened applicants for "good moral character." My own view, to be presently elaborated, is that to deprive a law student of the well-earned fruits of his labor on the basis of psychiatric findings that he might, at some future time commit a homosexual act that might become public and might merely embarrass a client, employer or associate, would manifest gross …
Challenges In Judging: Some Insights From The Writings Of Moses, Gordon J. Beggs

As our discussion today will reveal, he may also be credited with authoring some significant principles with respect to the judicial function.
