This article, which is Part 1 of two articles, examines the CCBE Code of Conduct. CCBE is the acronym used to describe the Council of the Bars and Law Societies of the European Community; the CCBE has been recognized as the official representative of the legal profession with the European Community. In 1988, the CCBE adopted a code of conduct that was intended to apply to situations in which lawyers from one CCBE Member of Observer State were involved with lawyers from another CCBE State. This article summarizes the development of the CCBE Code of Conduct, explains who it applies …

Parts And Wholes: The Integrity Of The Model Rules, Charles W. Wolfram
Parts And Wholes: The Integrity Of The Model Rules, Charles W. Wolfram
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
As important as is each of its parts, the 1983 Model Rules of Professional Conduct was, of course, meant to function as a whole. At the very least, the parts were presumably intended to work well with one another, sketching a regulatory apparatus that would guide both lawyers subject to it and courts and regulators administering it in a coherent and consistent manner. To a large extent the Model Rules made significant headway in this respect, continuing the movement toward more explicit and articulated regulation of the profession begun by their predecessor, the Model Code of Professional Responsibility.

In Pursuit Of The Counter-Text: The Turn To The Jewish Legal Model In Contemporary American Legal Theory, Suzanne Last Stone
In Pursuit Of The Counter-Text: The Turn To The Jewish Legal Model In Contemporary American Legal Theory, Suzanne Last Stone
Articles
Beginning with Professor Robert Cover's Nomos and Narrative, contemporary American legal scholars have increasingly turned, implicitly or more directly, to the Jewish legal tradition as an example of a legal system in which law is defined not by reference to the authority and power of the State, but rather by the commitment of a legal community to voluntarily-accepted legal obligations. These scholars depict the Jewish legal system as having successfully confronted - and resolved - several central dilemmas currently facing American law by maintaining a coherent legal system while accepting behavioral and interpretive pluralism. In this Article, Professor Stone shows …
Lawyering For Social Change: The Power Of The Narrative In Domestic Violence Law Reform, Jane C. Murphy
Lawyering For Social Change: The Power Of The Narrative In Domestic Violence Law Reform, Jane C. Murphy
All Faculty Scholarship
The role of the narrative or story in legal discourse has been explored and developed in legal scholarship over the last several years. The goals of the various calls for more storytelling in the legal context vary. They generally relate, however, to a desire to move away from exclusive reliance on abstract legal argumentation to persuade. The goals of ‘storytellers‘ are also linked to furthering an understanding of the dynamics of oppression based on race or gender, or both.
The judicial and legislative processes have always included a narrative component. Clinical legal scholarship has also explored the critical role of …

Themes Of Injustice: Wrongful Convictions, Racial Prejudice, And Lawyer Incompetence, Bennett L. Gershman
Themes Of Injustice: Wrongful Convictions, Racial Prejudice, And Lawyer Incompetence, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The U. S. criminal justice system has undergone radical changes in the past generation. Crime is more complex; prosecutors are more powerful; and courts, corrections agencies, and defense services are burdened with larger case loads and tighter budgets. It is not the best of times to talk about justice. Yet, it is a subject that needs to be constantly addressed, particularly in times of crisis. The following essay focuses on some of the problems that present themselves in the criminal justice system today, including the conviction of innocent defendants, especially in capital cases; racial prejudice; and lawyer incompetence.
A Comment On The Canadian Bar Association's Gender Equality Task Force Report, Dianne Pothier
A Comment On The Canadian Bar Association's Gender Equality Task Force Report, Dianne Pothier
Dianne Pothier Collection
The Task Force Report is a comprehensive one that deserves to be read by all members of the profession. It documents widespread problems and suggests wide ranging solutions. Reading a review is not an adequate substitute. A review can only touch on highlights, whereas it is in the detail of the Report that its real impact lies. This review will briefly comment on each of the themes announced in the title of the Report: equality, diversity, and accountability. Although in my assessment the report is in some respects too timid, that should not take away from the fact the Report …

Neutral Partisan Lawyering And International Human Rights, Rob Atkinson
Neutral Partisan Lawyering And International Human Rights, Rob Atkinson
Scholarly Publications
This Essay considers the applicability of a particular model of legal ethics, neutral partisanship, to American lawyers’ representation of those who violate, or are accused of violating, international human rights. I maintain that neutral partisanship, a deficient model for American lawyers in their domestic practice, is even more problematic when applied in the international arena. The central question is this: are there limits, short of engaging in illegal conduct, that should constrain lawyers in the representation of those who violate international human rights? Neutral partisanship holds that any lawyer may, or, more strongly, must, pursue any legal end for any …
Woman's Ghetto Within The Legal Profession, Marilyn Berger, Kari A. Robinson
Woman's Ghetto Within The Legal Profession, Marilyn Berger, Kari A. Robinson
Faculty Articles
In this article, we explore how the historical, stereotypical images of women as the timid, delicate caretaker shaped and continue to shape women's roles in the work force. As women entered the workplace, they became nurses, not doctors; dental hygienists, not dentists; paralegals, not lawyers; and kindergarten teachers, not university professors. This pattern persists today. We examine the professions to show how women's nurturing caretaker image has resulted in special niches within the professions, positions which perpetuate women in caretaker roles. Specifically, we examine the legal profession and probe the contemporary barricades erected to channel women into positions that fulfill …
Law Firm Restructuring: The Big Picture, Gary A. Munneke
Law Firm Restructuring: The Big Picture, Gary A. Munneke
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The term "restructuring" has become a buzzword for law firm efforts to improve the bottom line by altering the composition of the firm's personnel. In many instances, this is accomplished by "downsizing," a word more easily spoken than "firing." As opportunities for ownership interest in law firms evaporate, firms talk about "nonequity partners" and "rainmaking" skills. Such euphemisms are often used to sugarcoat the bitter medicine of economic reality. It may be useful to look more closely at the phenomenon of restructuring, although cynics might say lawyers should look at structuring first. In either case, taking a look at the …
Utility, Rights And Relativity: A Preliminary Look At Lawyers In Hard Cases, Andrew B.L. Phang
Utility, Rights And Relativity: A Preliminary Look At Lawyers In Hard Cases, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The following article was written several years ago; its objective (as the opening paragraphs suggest) was to set forth, in as simple a form as possible, the basic philosophical as well as ethical dilemmas and issues confronting lawyers. The audience initially targeted comprised practitioners. The manuscript has, however, stayed on the shelf, gathering dust. I can think of no clear reason for this. Perhaps it was because of the preachiness inherent within the purpose. Perhaps it was because it did not really add anything remarkably new to the literature on the subject - a great stumbling block to writers, despite …

Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr.
Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr.
All Faculty Scholarship
The Kaye Scholer I case has excited much attention and alarm within the legal profession. 2 It is interpreted as greatly expanding the scope of lawyer liability to third parties and heralding much greater regulatory intervention into the relationship between lawyer and client. In some respects this interpretation is accurate. The Kaye Scholer proceeding is at least a "wake up call" to the legal profession, signalling that lawyers should be much more attentive to their legal and ethical obligations in transactional and regulatory matters. However, there is also much misunderstanding about Kaye Scholer, particularly the supposition that it created novel …

The Scholar As Advocate, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Articles
Academic freedom in this country has been so closely identified with faculty autonomy that the two terms are often used interchangeably, especially by faculty members who are resisting restraints on their freedom to do as they please. While there may be some dispute as to whether or how far academic freedom protects the autonomy of universities or of students, the autonomy of faculty members seems to lie close to the core of the traditional American conception of academic freedom. As elaborated by the American Association of University Professors, this conception of academic freedom calls for protecting individual faculty members from …

Dear Harry: I write to second your statements concerning the disjunction between legal education and the legal profession and also to quibble with you. By examining the faculty, the curriculum, and the research agenda at Michigan, your school and mine, I hope to illustrate the ways in which you are right and to suggest other ways in which you and your clerk informants may be too pessimistic.
