Foreword: Legal Ethics And Government Integrity, Cyrus Vance

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This foreword addresses "the need to uphold and maintain a high level of integrity in both the legal profession and in government." The author discusses the roles of self-regulation and ethical standards for ensuring integrity in the legal and governmental fields. "Public trust and confidence in lawyers and government officials alike require that members of each group strive to maintain the highest ethical standards. This issue of the Urban Law Journal contributes to our thinking about the need for and problems of preserving both government and professional integrity."

Restoring The Public Trust: A Blueprint For Government Integrity, New York State Commission On Government Integrity

Fordham Urban Law Journal

September 1990 report of the New York State Commission on Government Integrity calling for "sweeping reforms to our laws to safeguard the public sector from the pressures brought to bear by private sector special interests and to reduce the temptation of officials to abuse their trust." In this "blueprint," the Commission identified several aspects of state government requiring legal and ethical reform, including: - campaign finance contribution limits, disclosure requirements, the public funding option, and ineffective enforcement by the State Board of Elections; - political influence in the judicial selection process; - limitations of the Ethics in Government Act; - …

Integrity And Ethical Standards In New York State Government: Final Report To The Governor, New York State Commission On Government Integrity

Fordham Urban Law Journal

September 1990 letter from the New York State Commission on Government Integrity to Governor Mario M. Cuomo. “This letter constitutes the final report of the Commission on Government Integrity. The Commission was created by Executive Order 88.1 and directed to examine a wide variety of subjects concerning government integrity in New York State. Since its inception, the Commission has submitted 20 reports containing specific recommendations for reform of New York laws, regulations and procedures. Some of these recommendations can be implemented by executive order; others require action by the New York State Legislature. Most of the recommendations would impose no …

Prosecutorial Ethics: The Case For The Per Se Rule, Kara S. Donahue

Fordham Urban Law Journal

“The integrity of the legal system is essential to public confidence in government. Without public confidence, the rule of law loses its meaning. The prosecutor is often the most visible participant in the criminal justice system, and thus, even the appearance of impropriety in the prosecutor's behavior erodes the public trust. He has a duty to seek justice and truth, not only to convict. This duty creates a dual role for the prosecutor: he is both an advocate seeking to obtain convictions and a minister of justice attempting to discover the truth. The public expects him to fulfill these functions …

Judicial Misconduct During Jury Deliberations, Bennett L. Gershman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The author considers the two principal types of improper judicial behavior that may occur during the jury deliberation process. Judicial conduct that attempts to place undue pressure on a jury to reach a verdict may include verdict-urging instructions, threats and intimidation, and inquiry into the numerical division of the jury on the merits of the verdict. Judicial participation in private, ex parte communications with jurors may also subvert orderly trial procedure and undermine the impartiality of the jury. Neither kind of judicial conduct may be allowed to compel a verdict from a jury.

The Ethics Of Emergency Lawyering, Barbara Glesner Fines

Faculty Works

The fast pace of modern law practice increasingly requires emergency lawyering: client situations that demand immediate attention and solution. Unlike medicine, however, the legal profession does not yet consider itself as having an emergency specialty. Yet, observation of today's law practice readily reveals that the analogy is accurate. The pressure of today's rapidly changing business climate, the complexity of legal regulations and relationships and the widening application of law to address a host of problems, all contribute to an increasing need for an immediate, available legal response: what I term here "emergency lawyering."

The Discourse Ethics Alternative To Rust V. Sullivan, Gary Charles Leedes

University of Richmond Law Review

Legal theorists in the United States should pay more attention to Jiirgen Habermas. His theory of discourse ethics provides us with an enriched understanding of the term "normative validity." Discourse ethics "is concerned ...with the grounding of normativity . . .; its central focus is the . . . specification of appropriate validation procedures."' Once participants in political discourse agree on validation procedures, they are then in a position to achieve a fully rational consensus about normatively right laws that are in everyone's best interests.
