The Perils Of Online Legal Research: A Caveat For Diligent Counsel, J. Thomas Sullivan
The Perils Of Online Legal Research: A Caveat For Diligent Counsel, J. Thomas Sullivan
Law Faculty Scholarship
Online legal research is emerging as a preferred tool for judges, attorneys, and lawstudents, providing a vast amount ofnearly real-time legal resources at the speed of electronic search. This article analyzes the risk of error associated with the immediacy of online opinion publishing and how the uncertainty ofaccuracy potentially compromises the litigator's ability to provide accurate advice.
Introduction – 21st Century Law, Technology And Ethics: The Lawyer’S Role As A Public Citizen Serving The Public Good, Irma S. Russell
Introduction – 21st Century Law, Technology And Ethics: The Lawyer’S Role As A Public Citizen Serving The Public Good, Irma S. Russell
Faculty Works
The lawyer's role as a "public citizen" also involves a duty to "seek improvement of the law." Changing technology has changed the way lawyers practice law. As public citizens lawyers have an affirmative commitment to the social goal of a just society. Ethical issues arise in the use of technology in society, and lawyers play a central role in social ordering. The idea that advocates in an adversary system have special responsibilities is not new.
Pursuing Justice For The Mentally Disabled, Grant H. Morris
Pursuing Justice For The Mentally Disabled, Grant H. Morris
University of San Diego Public Law and Legal Theory Research Paper Series
This article considers whether lawyers act as zealous advocates when they represent mentally disordered, involuntarily committed patients who wish to assert their right to refuse treatment with psychotropic medication. After discussing a study that clearly demonstrates that lawyers do not do so, the article explores the reasons for this inappropriate behavior. Michael Perlin characterizes the problem as “sanism,” which he describes as an irrational prejudice against mentally disabled persons of the same quality and character as other irrational prejudices that cause and are reflected in prevailing social attitudes of racism, sexism, homophobia, and ethnic bigotry. The article critiques Perlin’s characterization …
Corporate Ethics In The Health Care Marketplace, Lynne Dallas
Corporate Ethics In The Health Care Marketplace, Lynne Dallas
University of San Diego Law and Economics Research Paper Series
Consider three examples of problematic corporate decision making: first, in 2002, employees were less likely to have employer-provided insurance than thirty years ago and the price of health care for those who do receive it is ever increasing. Second, while many employees are without health insurance, the compensation for chief executive officers and other executive officers has increased dramatically. Third, consider the well-publicized examples of corporate decisions to engage in fraudulent and unethical business practices.
These problems will not be solved by glib references to market ideology that claims markets alone adequately regulate corporate behavior. Nor will these problems be …

Navigating Troubled Waters: Dealing With Personal Values When Representing Others, Mitchell M. Simon
Navigating Troubled Waters: Dealing With Personal Values When Representing Others, Mitchell M. Simon
Law Faculty Scholarship
Legal academics have long struggled to define the appropriate role a lawyer's moral judgment ought to play in client representation. In its simplest terms, the question is: Must a lawyer be a "hired gun," seeking all lawful objectives sought by a client, or may a lawyer act independently to avoid the harm a client's actions will cause innocent parties? Following disclosure of lawyer involvement in the Savings and Loan, Enron and WorldCom failures, many in society joined those scholars calling for greater moral responsibility.
In this article, I provide an analytical approach consistent with existing law and practice that seeks …

Faculty Ethics In Law School: Shirking, Capture, And "The Matrix", Jeffrey L. Harrison
Faculty Ethics In Law School: Shirking, Capture, And "The Matrix", Jeffrey L. Harrison
UF Law Faculty Publications
The primary focus of this essay is the ethical dimension of the decisions faculty governance requires law professors to make. This essay is devoted to the proposition that conditions are ideal for most law schools to be governed for the benefit of the faculty at the expense of the welfare of students and others (stakeholders) who expect to be served by the law school. This section also suggests that faculty shirking, if it occurs, stems primarily from a lack of respect for those whom the law school serves. Section II addresses the second step. Having described shirking and capture in …

The Federal Government Lawyer's Duty To Breach Confidentiality, James E. Moliterno
The Federal Government Lawyer's Duty To Breach Confidentiality, James E. Moliterno
Faculty Publications
The lawyer's duty of confidentiality springs from the lawyer-client relationship and its parameters are determined by the nature of that relationship. The federal government lawyer's client is like no other. The uniqueness of representing the United States calls for a unique approach to the duty of confidentiality. Unlike the private individual client, the government as a client does not speak with a single, unmistakable voice. Unlike the private entity client, the federal government has a paramount interest in the public good, including the public's right to know about government (the entity's conduct), especially its misconduct. The result is a client …

The Paper Tiger Of Gideon V. Wainwright And The Evisceration Of The Right To Appointment Of Legal Counsel For Indigent Defendants, Amanda Myra Hornung
The Paper Tiger Of Gideon V. Wainwright And The Evisceration Of The Right To Appointment Of Legal Counsel For Indigent Defendants, Amanda Myra Hornung
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The note examines the disparity between the Sixth Amendment's promise of counsel for indigent defendants and the realities of its implementation, arguing that while landmark cases like Gideon v. Wainwright established the right to appointed counsel in state criminal proceedings, significant gaps remain in ensuring effective representation. The analysis highlights systemic issues such as inadequate funding, excessive caseloads, and limited access to resources, which undermine the fairness of criminal trials. The note advocates for increased funding, reduced caseloads, and clearer standards for effective assistance of counsel to fulfill the constitutional guarantee of equal justice.
