The (Social And Economic Paradigm Of Racism And Its Impact On The Educational And Professional Experiences Of Seven African-American Attorneys In Oklahoma City, Tynan D. Anderson

McCabe Thesis Collection

Through the years Blacks have struggled for equality from the right to sit anywhere they chose on a bus to the right to eat in any restaurant. One of the most significant areas of struggle has been equal employment opportunities for Black professionals. The number of Black professionals has increased through the years; however, this increase is minimal when compared to the overall number of professionals in the United States. For example, "the number of Black attorneys has increased by 600% over the past seventeen years... [yet] they only constitute four percent of the total number of lawyers in the …

What Complainants Really Expect Of Bar Disciplinary Agencies: Lessons From The Virginia State Bar Complainant Satisfaction Survey, Paula Hannaford-Agor

Popular Media

The majority of lawyer misconduct complaint filings to the Virginia State Bar have to do with behaviors that, while not the ideal of professionalism, fall short of crossing the line into sanctionable misconduct. The VSB had concerns that people not involved with the bar did not understand its disciplinary system and were growing frustrated with its lack of action in response to complaints. To address this concern, it conducted a Complainant Satisfaction Survey that focused on complainants' perceptions of the VSB disciplinary process to measure the level of "consumer satisfaction." This article provides an analysis of the survey results, including …

Legal Ethics And Fugitive Slaves: The Anthony Burns Case, Judge Loring, And Abolitionist Attorneys, Paul Finkelman

Cardozo Law Review

Judges and lawyers seek to enforce and uphold the "law" while also proclaiming an interest in an abstraction we call "justice." As we know, there is often a tension between the two. Consequently, serving the law often means not serving justice. Similarly, often a tension exists between a lawyer's duty both to seek a legal remedy to a problem and to act in the best interests of a client. Activist lawyers can have an agenda that is at odds with members of the class they claim to serve. These two problems are complicated by a third. Lawyers and judges have …

Can A Lawyer Ever Do Right?, Owen M. Fiss

Cardozo Law Review

Jacques Maury and Maurice Gargon were good people, but not good enough. They resisted the harshness of the racial laws of Vichy France but not as fully as they should have. Falling victim to the proclivity of all lawyers, they became ensnared within the technical trappings of the law. They helped individual clients who suffered under the Vichy laws, but are faulted by Richard Weisberg for failing to challenge those laws at a foundational level. Professor Weisberg described the result as grotesque.

The article describes the context for a major piece of interdisciplinary research undertaken in Ontario, Canada investigating whether the nature of ethical behaviour was changing over time: whether professionalism or profit was driving the behaviour of lawyers. The project had both conceptual and philosophical aspects and an empirical investigation. Previous research on professional ethics is canvassed, including studies of medical ethics, and the particular problems associated with research about the legal profession are identified. The full methodology of the empirical aspect of the research is described and all methodological decisions are discussed and justified. Appendices contain all research instruments. The …
