Revising Canada's Ethical Rules For Judges Returning To Practice, Stephen Ga Pitel, Will Bortolin
Revising Canada's Ethical Rules For Judges Returning To Practice, Stephen Ga Pitel, Will Bortolin
Dalhousie Law Journal
It has recently become more common for retired Canadian judges to return to the practice of law This development raises an array of ethical considerations and potential threats to the integrity of the administration of justice. Although most codes of legal ethics contemplate the possibility of former judges returning to practice, the rules on this particular topic are dated, under-analyzed, and generally inadequate. This article reviews the Canadian ethical rules that specifically relate to former judges and identifies their shortcomings. In doing so, the authors consider, for comparative purposes, Canadian ethical rules directed at former public officers who return to …

Ethical Problems In Class Arbitration, Andrew Powell, Richard A. Bales
Ethical Problems In Class Arbitration, Andrew Powell, Richard A. Bales
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article examines two significant conflicts of interest that arise in class arbitration in six parts. Part II provides background on the recent evolution of class arbitration, explaining how the Supreme Court had decided several cases involving class arbitration but has not explicitly ruled that class actions are either permitted or forbidden. Part III discusses the conflicts of interest that could arise at the beginning of class arbitration. Part IV discusses conflicts of interest that arise at the end of class arbitration. Part V of this article argues that if and when Congress amends the Federal Arbitration Act to statutorily …
Confidentiality Explained: The Dialogue Approach To Discussing Confidentiality With Clients, Elisia M. Klinka, Russell G. Pearce
Confidentiality Explained: The Dialogue Approach To Discussing Confidentiality With Clients, Elisia M. Klinka, Russell G. Pearce
San Diego Law Review
This Article offers an alternative dialogue approach. Rather than view the issue of explaining confidentiality either as a strategy for gaining client trust or an obligation necessary to comply with certain legal obligations, we propose understanding it as a key element in creating a relationship of dialogue grounded in honesty and mutual respect.
In doing so, we build on the work of the late Fred Zacharias, whose scholarship in this area provides both pathbreaking empirical insights and unwavering commitment to respecting client dignity. Among Zacharias’s contributions are his oft-cited empirical study suggesting that lawyers wrongly assume that clients would not …
Fred Zacharias And A Lawyer's Attempt To Be Guided By Justice: Flying With Harry Potter And Understanding How Lawyers Can Prosecute The People They Represent, Randy Lee
San Diego Law Review
This Article seeks to embrace Professor Zacharias’s call for lawyers to consider more deeply what it means for a lawyer—and here particularly a government lawyer—to do justice. In so doing, it recognizes two parameters that Professor Zacharias wisely established for this task: first, that lawyers need direction that is concrete in how to behave as lawyers; and second, that lawyers can understand “justice,” “fairness,” and “truth” to be amorphous concepts and that lawyers may even attempt to define those terms with equally amorphous words. This Article also recognizes, however, that although justice, fairness, and truth can be reduced to abstraction, …

Taking The Ethical Duty To Self Seriously: An Essay In Memory Of Fred Zacharias, Samuel J. Levine
Taking The Ethical Duty To Self Seriously: An Essay In Memory Of Fred Zacharias, Samuel J. Levine
San Diego Law Review
This essay delineates a three-tiered approach that incorporates not only the lawyer’s duty to the client and to society, but also the lawyer’s obligation to take into consideration the duty to self, which includes fidelity to the lawyer’s personal ethical values and commitments. In addition, rather than placing the various interests in hierarchical opposition, requiring that one duty invariably prevail over the others, the three-tiered approach looks to consider ways in which competing interests might balance or, at times, be reconciled with one another. To illustrate the three-tiered approach to the lawyer’s ethical obligations, this essay focuses on the lawyer’s …
Prosecutors' Ethical Duty Of Disclosure In Memory Of Fred Zacharias, Bruce A. Green
Prosecutors' Ethical Duty Of Disclosure In Memory Of Fred Zacharias, Bruce A. Green
San Diego Law Review
This Article might lead one to ask which body better apprehended the nature of the prosecutorial disclosure rule. Two parts of this Article will explore that question and reach an unexpected conclusion: although the ABA ethics committee and the Ohio Supreme Court had opposite visions of equivalent rules, they may both be right. Even so, there is something obviously jarring about the divide, which reveals deficiencies in the rule adoption process. The ABA has an interest in persuading courts to adopt not only its Model Rules but also its interpretations of those rules, so the result seems to reflect a …

The Zealous Prosecutor As Minister Of Justice, Bennett L. Gershman
The Zealous Prosecutor As Minister Of Justice, Bennett L. Gershman
San Diego Law Review
As my contribution to this Memorial tribute to Professor Fred Zacharias, I have chosen to write about Fred’s 1991 article in the Vanderbilt Law Review entitled Structuring the Ethics of Prosecutorial Trial Practice: Can Prosecutors Do Justice?. I have always seen this article as a classic, one of the finest and most important discussions of the special role of the prosecutor in the criminal justice system and of the meaning of the prosecutor’s ethical duty to “do justice.” This article is cited repeatedly for numerous points: the conception of the prosecutor’s duty not to win a case but to see …

Hotel Managers Identify Ethical Problems: A Survey Of Their Concerns, Betsy Stevens
Hotel Managers Identify Ethical Problems: A Survey Of Their Concerns, Betsy Stevens
Hospitality Review
This study identified and examined the concerns of hotel general managers regarding ethics in the hospitality industry. Thirty-five managers were interviewed during and immediately following the economic recession to determine which ethical issues in the hotel industry and at their own properties concerned them the most. Results showed that more people and organizations attempted to renegotiate hotel rates, which actions, in turn, led to some lapses in ethical behavior. Managers said that because of the economic downturn, they felt pressure from both private owners and corporate headquarters. They also said a lack of work ethic, low motivation, and low pay …
Practical Ethics For The Professional Prosecutor., Enrico B. Valdez
Practical Ethics For The Professional Prosecutor., Enrico B. Valdez
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
In Brady v. Maryland, the United States Supreme Court held that the prosecution's withholding of material exculpatory evidence violated the defendant's due process rights regardless of the absence of bad faith. The implications of this duty can be seen in the case of John Thompson, a man who was convicted of murder in Louisiana in 1985 after the prosecution failed to turn over exculpatory evidence. Thompson was able to get his conviction reversed and subsequently sued the district attorney's office. This Article analyzes Brady and the decisions that followed it to outline the obligations of prosecutors who are in possession …

An Article We Wrote To Ourselves In The Future: Early 21st Century Views On Ethics And The Internet., David Hricik, Prashant Patel, Natasha Chrispin
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
Written from the viewpoint of the year 2050, this Article discusses the clash between legal ethics and the technological revolution of the early twenty-first century. As a result of ethics rules being applied to new technologies in ways never contemplated under traditional circumstances, lawyers had to be overly cautious when they used the Internet to correspond with or seek out clients, or otherwise promote their legal services. The lesson learned is that the legal community should reflect on the harm caused by over zealous regulation and take a more reasoned approach to the use of technology for the benefit of …

Capital Punishment, Psychiatrists And The Potential Bottleneck Of Competence , Jacob M. Appel
Capital Punishment, Psychiatrists And The Potential Bottleneck Of Competence , Jacob M. Appel
Journal of Law and Health
The purpose of this paper is to merge two largely separate bodies of writing on the subject of psychiatric participation in capital punishment. Much has already been written from the perspective of legal academics regarding the rights of prisoners to be free from unwanted medical care if the purpose of providing such care is to render them fit for execution. Medical ethicists have also written much on the degree to which physicians, and specifically psychiatrists, may participate in facilitating the death penalty before they become so complicit as to violate accepted standards of professional ethics. Surprisingly, these two fields of …

Prosecuting The Informant Culture, Andrew E. Taslitz
Prosecuting The Informant Culture, Andrew E. Taslitz
Michigan Law Review
Alexandra Natapoff, in her outstanding new book, Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American Justice, makes a compelling case for reform of the system by which we regulate police use of criminal informants. Indeed, as other writers have discussed, law enforcement's overreliance on such informants has led to a "snitching culture" in which informant snitching replaces other forms of law enforcement investigation (pp. 12, 31, 88-89). Yet snitches, especially jailhouse snitches, are notoriously unreliable.
