The Legal Persona: An Essay On The Professional Mask, James R. Elkins

Law Faculty Scholarship

The legal profession offers little opportunity for the practitioner to analyze the fundamental constructs underlying the legal system or the dynamics of the lawyering process. Jurisprudence and legal education traditionally have emphasized the external aspects of law, implying that man is a rational decisionmaker who freely controls his life and shapes societal institutions., This approach is unrealistic because it neglects the psychological dimension of man and the complexity of man's behavior. Jurisprudential scholars and legal educators should recognize that a growing body of sophisticated literature in linguistics and anthropology as well as social psychology and psychiatry is also relevant to …

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 …

Improving On The Contingent Fee, Kevin M. Clermont, John D. Currivan

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Two basic fees--contingent and hourly--dominate the variety of fees that lawyers charge clients for pursuing damage claims. Each of these two types has its advantages; each is plagued with substantial disadvantages. This Article proposes a new type of fee, one that preserves the respective advantages of the two present fees while minimizing their distinct disadvantages.

In essence, the proposed fee calls for the payment, on a contingent basis, of an amount computed by adding one component tied to hours worked and another component linked to amount recovered. The preferability and feasibility of this proposed fee argue for the abolishment, or …

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 …
