Attorney Fee Disgorgement As A Disciplinary Action, Lynn P. Barker

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment first explores reasons for the rare application of fee disgorgement as a disciplinary measure. It then examines the contexts under which courts deprive attorneys of their fees in both nondisciplinary and disciplinary proceedings. This Comment concludes that, in many cases, disgorgement of fees as a disciplinary action for attorney misconduct would most effectively protect the public, deter unethical conduct, and restore confidence in the legal profession.

Ethical Considerations For The Justice Department When It Switches Sides During Litigation, Clifford Freed

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment briefly discusses the history of Washington v. Seattle School District No. 1, and then demonstrates the difficulties in applying the present ABA Code of Professional Responsibility to certain ethical questions that can arise when the government changes its allegiance in the midst of litigation. The ethical propriety of the Department of Justice's actions is examined, and alternatives are proposed for situations in which the United States, represented in court by the Justice Department, switches sides in the same case.

Promise, Benefit, And Need: Ties That Bind Us To The Law, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

In this lecture, I address the fundamental question of whether we have a good moral reason for obeying the law. Understanding why we should obey the law, if we should, is the starting point for resolving conflicts between that duty and other claims upon us.

I am primarily concerned here with generally applicable laws of the state, but I also consider rules that apply to members of more limited associations, such as law schools and the bar. Concern over obligation to obey rules does not begin and end with rules of the state. Moreover, the relation of citizens to the …

The Gentleman In Professional Ethics, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

The character of the “gentlemen” has served as a basis for ethics in professionalism. The purpose of this article is to describe the gentleman’s ethics, to explain its implications on the legal profession, to test its adequacy, and to argue that the gentleman’s ethic veered wrong by moving away from its religious tradition.
