Cautionary Lessons From American Securities Arbitration: Litigation Versus Arbitration, Ronald D. Rotunda

Law Faculty News Articles, Editorials, and Blogs

In the United States, it is now quite common for lawyers and others to bemoan what is often referred to as 'the litigation crisis. ' No less an authority than former Chief Justice Warren Burger has long complained that American courts 'have become overburdened' by too may lawsuits... Similarly, the Report of the prestigious American Bar Association's Commission on Professionalism recommends expanded use of arbitration in lieu of a norrnal trial before a judge and lay jury.

Seasoned To The Use, Carol Sanger

Faculty Scholarship

Two recent novels, Presumed Innocent and The Good Mother, have more in common than critical success, longevity on best-seller lists and big-name movie adaptations. Both books are about law: Presumed Innocent is a tale of murder in the big city; The Good Mother is the story of a custody fight over a little girl. Central characters in both books are lawyers.

While the books could be classified in other ways – Presumed Innocent as mystery, The Good Mother as women's fiction – each meets a suggested genre specification of a legal novel: …

The Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege: A Study Of The Participants, Vincent C. Alexander

Faculty Publications

Empirical research on the practical effects of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate context has been almost nonexistent. This Article seeks to help fill the gap by synthesizing traditional doctrinal analysis with the results of a survey of individuals with first-hand information about the subject: corporate attorneys, corporate management, and federal judges and magistrates. The survey, which consisted of 182 interviews in New York City, produced a broad range of information about some of the assumptions underlying the corporate privilege, the forms and processes of corporate attorney-client communications and the adjudication of privilege claims.
