Achieving An Appropriate Balance: The Use Of Counsel Sanctions In Connection With The Resolution Of E-Discovery Misconduct, Thomas Y. Allman
Achieving An Appropriate Balance: The Use Of Counsel Sanctions In Connection With The Resolution Of E-Discovery Misconduct, Thomas Y. Allman
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
This article evaluates the increased use of counsel sanctions in connection with discovery misconduct in the federal courts. Decisions such as Qualcomm Inc. v. Broadcom Corp. (Qualcomm) have drawn attention to the affirmative responsibilities of counsel for discovery and the ample authority available to sanction them under appropriate circumstances.

A Witness To Justice, Jessica Silbey
A Witness To Justice, Jessica Silbey
Faculty Scholarship
In the 1988 film The Accused, a young woman named Sarah Tobias is gang raped on a pinball machine by three men while a crowded bar watches. The rapists cut a deal with the prosecutor. Sarah's outrage at the deal convinces the assistant district attorney to prosecute members of the crowd that cheered on and encouraged the rape. This film shows how Sarah Tobias, a woman with little means and less experience, intuits that according to the law rape victims are incredible witnesses to their own victimization. The film goes on to critique what the right kind of witness would …
Toward Ethical Plea Bargaining, Erica J. Hashimoto
Toward Ethical Plea Bargaining, Erica J. Hashimoto
Scholarly Works
Defendants in criminal cases are overwhelmingly more likely to plead guilty than to go to trial. Presumably, at least a part of the reason that most of them do so is that it is in their interest to plead guilty, i.e., they will receive a more favorable outcome if they plead guilty than if they go to trial. The extent to which pleas reflect fair or rational compromises in practice, however, depends upon a variety of factors, including the amount of information each of the parties has about the case. Some level of informational symmetry therefore is critical to the …

Commenting On Credibility In Kansas: A Constructive Criticism Of State V. Pabst, Steve Leben
Commenting On Credibility In Kansas: A Constructive Criticism Of State V. Pabst, Steve Leben
Faculty Works
In some respects, this is a cautionary tale about overruling precedent. The Kansas Supreme Court openly overruled its own thirty-two year old precedent in deciding State v. Pabst in 2000. Cautionary tales and precedents aside, this Article is primarily about how trials are conducted, and how much latitude an attorney should have in Kansas to talk directly to jurors in closing argument about all the issues-including witness credibility-that will decide the case. Pabst forced attorneys to change the way they conduct closing arguments. While the result in Pabst was right, the rationale the court used to support the decision was …

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In light of recent developments, the confidence that one's communications with a lawyer will remain sacrosanct today may be badly misplaced. This raises important questions concerning the duty of lawyers: When, to what extent, and in what detail, does an attorney communicating with someone who may expect confidentiality, have a duty to explain in advance the circumstances under which the information gained may subsequently be revealed pursuant to these or other confidentiality loopholes? Will the interviewee “clam up” in the face of such Miranda-like warnings? If so, what does this do to the premise of Upjohn and the Model Rule …

Litigating Brady V. Maryland: Games Prosecutors Play, Bennett L. Gershman
Litigating Brady V. Maryland: Games Prosecutors Play, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
By any measure, Brady v. Maryland has not lived up to its expectations. Brady's announcement of a constitutional duty on prosecutors to disclose exculpatory evidence to defendants embodies, more powerfully than any other constitutional rule, the core of the prosecutor's ethical duty to seek justice rather than victory. Nevertheless, prosecutors over the years have not accorded Brady the respect it deserves. Prosecutors have violated its principles so often that it stands more as a landmark to prosecutorial indifference and abuse than a hallmark of justice. Moreover, as interpreted by the judiciary, Brady actually invites prosecutors to bend, if not break, …

This paper, a companion piece to the author's earlier exploration of the case of Mutual Life Insurance Company v. Hillmon, describes the remarkable record of unethical conduct compiled by the eminent and respectable attorneys for the insurance companies in the course of that litigation. When married with the Supreme Court Justices' uncritical willingness to accept the false narrative thus contrived, these attorneys' misconduct led to the creation of an important rule of evidence - a rule of questionable merit. This article aims to remind us that lawyers who are willing to distort the process of litigation have the power …

The long recognized common-law privilege afforded to certain conversations between attorneys and their clients has been the subject of troubling opinions when the lawyer and client are high ranking government officials. In a series of opinions from the 7th, 8th and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeals, the courts refused to recognize the existence of the attorney-client privilege for the government actors under the circumstances surrounding the cases. However, recent opinions from the 2nd Circuit state that these other courts were simply wrong, setting the stage perhaps, for the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the issue. Whether this privilege is equally …

A Rejoinder To The Rejoinder To On The Theory Class's Theories Of Asbestos Litigation, Lester Brickman
Articles
The article, authored by Lester Brickman, serves as a rebuttal to Professor Charles Silver's rejoinder, which criticized Brickman's original article on asbestos litigation. Brickman defends his assertions regarding Silver's undisclosed retention by the law firm Baron & Budd to defend the controversial Script Memo, arguing that this nondisclosure breaches academic ethics. He also clarifies his stance on the role of attorney William Skepnek and reiterates his scholarly focus on legal ethics, particularly the issues surrounding contingency fees and their potential for overcharging clients. Brickman emphasizes the importance of academic integrity and the necessity of exposing ethical abuses in the legal …

Joseph In Lawyerland, Robin West
Joseph In Lawyerland, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
As Alice wanders through Wonderland in an unreal space in real time-a dream-learning backward truths from illogical creatures who speak in paradoxes, so Joseph figuratively wanders through lawyerland in an unreal time, but in a very real space-Manhattan-conversing with his thinly fictionalized friends, all of whom happen to be lawyers, about their lives and practices in law. As Joseph's lawyers talk with him about the law they practice, they uncover, through White Rabbit and Cheshire Cat-like illogical precision, a chaotic, unkempt, unconscionably reckless, often cruel, and sometimes pathological legal wilderness. The legal terrain these lawyers occupy is not an inviting …

As Janet Malcolm1 tells it, Sheila McGough was a middle-aged single woman living at home with her parents and working as an editor and administrator in the publications department of the Carnegie Institute when she decided to switch careers and go to law school. She applied and was admitted to the then recently accredited law school at George Mason University. After graduation, she began a solo practice in northern Virginia that involved a significant amount of stateappointed criminal defense work. In 1986, approximately four years after her graduation from law school, McGough received a call requesting assistance from an incarcerated …
