Of Rants And Money, Jack Mcneill
Of Rants And Money, Jack Mcneill
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
We should create and maintain a bright line between professionals and nonprofessionals in law libraries. If we fail to acknowledge any difference between professionals and non-professionals, why should our employers? The least we should ask of people seeking to enter the profession is to make a commitment to the profession by earning a degree. Rather than act as individuals within a profession, we must act as professional individuals, continually aware of how our individual actions will influence our field. Perhaps then we can stop ranting and begin enjoying the fruits of our professional labor.

The American Prosecutor: Independence, Power, And The Threat Of Tyranny, Angela J. Davis
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This Article compares the power, practices, and policies of the Independent Counsel with those of ordinary state and federal prosecutors and suggests that the purported distinctions turn out to be illusory. Part I charts the principal structural characteristics of the Independent Counsel and regular prosecutors, with particular focus on prosecutorial discretion and the charging power. This section notes the public outrage over former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr and argues that the American prosecutor deserves similar scrutiny. Using illustrations from the author’s former experience as a public defender, this Part explains how regular prosecutors engage in the same acts of misconduct …

This article describes that new business reality, those trends, and some of the ethical constraints presented by current …

Contract And Conflict Management, Thomas J. Stipanowich
Thomas J. Stipanowich
Despite the widespread use of mediation and other dispute resolution processes in the United States today, many members of the bench and bar - including those responsible for the drafting, interpretation and implementation of consensual dispute resolution provisions still lack a fundamental grasp of the process choices available to contracting parties. More often than not, their information is fragmentary, their perceptions framed by anecdote and hearsay in lieu of personal experience. Transactional lawyers, those in the best position to offer advice and counsel in the structuring of contractual conflict management options, tend to be less well informed than colleagues in …
