The Lawyer As Public Citizen: Meeting The Pro Bono Challenge, Irma S. Russell Jan 2003

The Lawyer As Public Citizen: Meeting The Pro Bono Challenge, Irma S. Russell

Faculty Works

This article examines the lawyer’s role as a public citizen through the lens of the professional responsibility to provide pro bono legal services. It explores the evolution and implications of the American Bar Association’s Model Rule 6.1, which defines pro bono service as a professional obligation rather than a discretionary act of charity. The discussion traces the historical foundations of lawyers’ duties to serve the public, the ethical considerations debated by the ABA’s Ethics 2000 Commission, and the tension between voluntary and mandatory service. The article also highlights the practical role of law firms and professional organizations in fostering a …

The New Labor Market For Lawyers: Will Female Lawyers Still Earn Less?, Joni Hersch Jan 2003

The New Labor Market For Lawyers: Will Female Lawyers Still Earn Less?, Joni Hersch

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the persistent gender pay gap in the legal profession, despite women's increased representation, and identifies key factors contributing to this disparity. It highlights how structural and societal factors, such as work hours, family responsibilities, and discrimination, play significant roles. The analysis suggests that while younger cohorts show signs of narrowing the gap, systemic barriers and biases continue to affect women's earnings and career advancement. The study underscores the need for policies addressing these inequities to ensure equal opportunities and pay.

Lawyer And Public Service, The Historical Perspectives On Pro Bono Lawyering, Russell G. Pearce Jan 2001

Lawyer And Public Service, The Historical Perspectives On Pro Bono Lawyering, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

Historically, the first way of viewing the lawyer's role was as a member of America's governing class. Second came cause lawyering on behalf of a particular issue. Third, and most recently, arose the idea of pro bono lawyering, a less ambitious incarnation of the governing class lawyer who contributes time to helping cause lawyers. These categories are not rigid: for each individual they may overlap to one degree or another. This framework is preliminary and requires further research and development. Nonetheless, it provides a useful tool for explaining how lawyers-and in particular the heroic lawyers described in this symposium-connect to …


Faith And The Lawyer's Practice Symposium: Law Religion And The Public Good, Russell G. Pearce Jan 2001

Faith And The Lawyer's Practice Symposium: Law Religion And The Public Good, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

If there is a religious way to read, is there a religious way to be a lawyer? More and more lawyers, judges and scholars are answering yes to that question. We heard earlier from Cardinal Bevilacqua about the history of the Religious Lawyering Movement, which blossomed in the 1990s. There was writing about the law and religion before that time." We can date religious lawyering as a body of work in mainstream legal literature, as Cardinal Bevilacqua did, to the work of Professor Thomas Shaffer in the 1980s.Why did this movement take off in the 1990s? Again, what accounts for …

The Four Discourses Of Law: A Lacanian Analysis Of Legal Practice And Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder Nov 2000

The Four Discourses Of Law: A Lacanian Analysis Of Legal Practice And Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article explores the evolving roles of modern lawyers, highlighting the tension between traditional duties like confidentiality and newer disclosure obligations, particularly in securities law. It employs Lacan's discourse theory to analyze legal roles, categorizing them into master, university, analyst, and hysteric discourses. The article argues that understanding these discourses can inform ethical frameworks and professional responsibilities, advocating for a nuanced approach to legal representation.
