Legislative Ethics, 1973., James R. Nowlin
Legislative Ethics, 1973., James R. Nowlin
St. Mary's Law Journal
Approaching the 63d Regular Session of the Texas State Legislature, the need to establish new standards of ethical conduct for the attorney-legislators had increased substantially in public support. The “Sharpstown” Bank scandal and the recent indictments of several present and former state legislators, on numerous counts of theft of state funds, had severely eroded public confidence in the moral turpitude of state lawmakers. This study examines the Texas state legislative process and the conflicting interests that arise in the task of drafting and passing bills in the House of Representatives and the Senate. There were several attempts, prior to 1973, …

Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus
Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus
Cleveland State Law Review
Several states have minimum fee schedules that set the least amount of compensation a lawyer should charge for a specific legal service. There has been much confusion in bar associations across the country as to the application of minimum fee schedules and the consequences of non-compliance. The American Bar Association has published both formal and informal opinions in an attempt to clearly define the functions of the schedules. In view of the opinions, interviews and statistical studies on the subject of minimum fee schedules, it is apparent that they are too rigid to cope with the practical needs of the …

Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien
Cleveland State Law Review
The problems, indeed the inadequacy of present legal education in ethics and professional responsibility are well known. The traditional methods of preparing law students for the avoidance of ethical and even criminal complaints against them in their future practice of law have been, in the main, divisible into two general categories: the "pervasive" method, through which understanding is supposed to be gained by students as if by osmosis through all courses and general law school contract, and the "specific" method which offers a course in the subject. Both methods are commonly used but neither seems to have achieved an acceptable …
Commencement Of Statute Of Limitations For Malpractice Of An Attorney, James Gordon Joseph
Commencement Of Statute Of Limitations For Malpractice Of An Attorney, James Gordon Joseph
Cleveland State Law Review
In almost all jurisdictions the statute of limitations for the malpractice of an attorney is between one and three years. Although some argue that this is too short a period, the main problem is not in the statute but in its application. Difficulty arises when a court must decide at what point the statute of limitations begins to run. To appreciate a court's problem, the nature and reasons behind statutes of limitations must be understood
Legal Malpractice: Improper Representation Of Conflicting Interests, Marshall J. Nachbar
Legal Malpractice: Improper Representation Of Conflicting Interests, Marshall J. Nachbar
Cleveland State Law Review
When an attorney, for whatever reason-sloth, over zealous conduct, or personal greed-represents a client without being completely loyal to the client's interests there are several things that may occur. The attorney may be subject to disciplinary or disbarment proceedings. He may be disqualified from further representing his client. If the attorney's actions have resulted in damage to his client the attorney may find himself the defendant in a malpractice action. If the cause of the damage is alleged to be the result of an attorney representing dual interests or improperly representing adverse interests then the cause of action will be …
Lawyers' Malpractice In Litigation, Nathaniel Rothstein
Lawyers' Malpractice In Litigation, Nathaniel Rothstein
Cleveland State Law Review
Until recently, when we spoke of malpractice we invariably meant medical malpractice. Less than 20 years ago only a handful of lawyers carried professional liability (malpractice) insurance. This is no longer true. Attorneys who practice in large metropolitan areas are now keenly aware of the importance and necessity of having this insurance coverage; and in no segment of the legal profession is this more urgent than amongst trial lawyers-for much like surgeons in the medical field, trial lawyers are the most vulnerable in attorney-malpractice lawsuits.
Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut
Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut
Cleveland State Law Review
In 1952, an article appeared in Reader's Digest magazine castigating both the contingent fee system of financing litigation and the trial lawyers of the United States. Since that article appeared, the client public has been barraged with a stream of propaganda aimed at barring the use of the contingent fee as a means of retaining a lawyer.
Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger
Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger
Cleveland State Law Review
United Mine Workers of America, District 12 v. Illinois State Bar Association, is one of the latest in a line of holdings which have demonstrated that areas heretofore considered by the Bar as sacrosanct unto itself or the state courts are not immune from re-evaluation. That decision, rendered on December 5, 1967, was not unexpected in the light of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in NAACP v. Button, and Railroad Trainmen v. Virginia Bar Association, and the process is likely to continue.
Professional Responsibility Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer: The Three Hardest Questions, Monroe H. Freedman
Professional Responsibility Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer: The Three Hardest Questions, Monroe H. Freedman
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
In almost any area of legal counseling and advocacy, the lawyer may be faced with the dilemma of either betraying the confidential communications of his client or participating to some ex-tent in the purposeful deception of the court. This problem is no-where more acute than in the practice of criminal law, particularly in the representation of the indigent accused. The purpose of this article is to analyze and attempt to resolve three of the most difficult issues in this general area:
1. Is it proper to cross-examine for the purpose of discrediting the reliability or credibility of an adverse witness …

Necessity As A Justification: A Critique Of Perka, Donald Galloway
Dalhousie Law Journal
In his characteristically trenchant and influential investigation, "A Plea for Excuses",' J. L. Austin reminded us that we can and do use different strategies of defending a person when it is claimed that he has done wrong. He drew attention to two distinct tactics: One way of going about this (defending a person) is to admit that he, X, did that very thing, A, but to argue that it was a good thing, or the right or sensible thing, or a permissible thing to do . . . To take this line is to justify the action, to give reasons …

Lay Tradition As To The Lawyer, Roscoe Pound
Lay Tradition As To The Lawyer, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
We all know the lay tradition as to the lawyer. Mike Monaghan rhymes lawyer with trier. He tells us that the Probate Court is instituted to see that "iviry mimber of the bair gits a fair chanct at phwat the dicaysed didn't take wid 'im." In the timeworn anecdote of the epitaph "here lies an honest lawyer" everyone is ready to say, "that's Strange."' Laymen, who, sitting as arbitrators, will insist on technicalities which the law would instantly reject, and in corner-grocery discussions will argue that a contract signed with a lead pencil is void for informality, are quite sure …
Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Michigan Law Review
Legal ethics is a branch of general ethics. Some consideration of the latter is necessary to an understanding of the former. It is a fundamental fact that men generally, if not all sane men, distinguish certain courses of conduct as right and wrong; just as they say particular objects are beautiful and others ugly. They feel a duty to do some things and to refrain from others. If savages do not feel distinctly the sense of duty, at least they are indignant at certain conduct in their associates, and approve of other acts, on moral grounds. This sense of duty …
