Ethical Problems Of An International Human Rights Law Practice, David Weissbrodt
Ethical Problems Of An International Human Rights Law Practice, David Weissbrodt
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article examines two sources of ethical constraint on U.S. lawyers practicing international human rights law: the Model Code of Professional Responsibility (CPR or Model Code), which was adopted by the American Bar Association (ABA) in 1969, and the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules), which were adopted in 1983. Part I establishes that these sources apply to the U.S. lawyer regardless of whether or not the lawyer is in the United States and whether or not he is acting as an attorney. Attorneys who leave the countries where they practice law and travel to other nations to observe …

Legal Ethics: Discretion And Utility In Model Rule 1.6, Charles A. Kelbley
Legal Ethics: Discretion And Utility In Model Rule 1.6, Charles A. Kelbley
Fordham Urban Law Journal
No other profession requires practitioners to identify so closely and completely with the interests and confidences of their clients, as in the legal profession. Unlike doctors, priests, rabbis and other professionals, the lawyer is an adviser but also an advocate. Rule 1.6 is a major flaw in the legal profession's history of self-discipline. This rule fails the test of logic because the concept of discretion which it reflects is self-contradictory. This rule is a crude form of utilitarianism and should be reformulated to require disclosure whenever clients have no right to confidentiality and their conduct would constitute unjustified aggression or …

Remarks Delivered On The Occasion Of The Presentation Of The Fordham Stein Award To Judge Edward Weinfeld, John D. Feerick
Fordham Urban Law Journal
In the aftermath of a very difficult period for the conscience and reputation of the legal profession, the Fordham Stein Award was endowed for the purpose of providing the profession and society with a sterling example of professional integrity and leadership. The mandate was to search the profession nationwide each year and to select a person whose selfless contribution to the public good exemplified the quiet performance of thousands of others whose dedicated work adds life, vigor and substance to our democracy. In 1985, Fordham Law School awarded the Stein Award to Judge Edward Weinfeld. This article describes the award …

A Case For Increased Disclosure, Deborah Abramovsky
A Case For Increased Disclosure, Deborah Abramovsky
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The confidentiality rule is important but not absolute. An attorney must weigh his obligations to his client against his obligations to the profession and to the community as a whole. Reasonable certainty of the existence of potential danger should create a duty to reveal client secrets, and thus, when an attorney learns of an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm to a third party from his client, disclosure should be mandatory. This type of limited exception would not interfere with the client's constitutional rights or with the orderly administration of justice. The policy behind such an exception, i.e. …
A Case For Increased Confidentiality, Abraham Abramovsky
A Case For Increased Confidentiality, Abraham Abramovsky
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The Sixth Amendment right to counsel is a cornerstone of the American legal system. In order to provide effective representation to a client, an attorney must be informed of all the relevant facts, including clients' indiscretions and crimes committed or contemplated by them. To draft effective motions, affidavits, etc., the attorney often needs information that only the client can provide; this same reasoning applies to conducting an effective cross-examination and forming an appropriate trial strategy. In addition, outside the criminal field, an attorney advising a corporate client must also know relevant data. Vital constitutional rights will be lost if lawyers …
The Confidentiality Rule: A Philosophical Perspective With Reference To Jewish Law And Ethics, Gordon Tucker
The Confidentiality Rule: A Philosophical Perspective With Reference To Jewish Law And Ethics, Gordon Tucker
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Analyzing Rule 1.6 of the Model Rules from a Jewish perspective can help solve some of the conflicts, which have arisen around this particular rule of professional responsibility. In sum, when a lawyer is faced with a potential crime that will likely seriously injury life, limb, or property, an attorney should disclose the information, which he believes will prevent this crime from occurring. While some sources of the confidentiality rule stem from the American legal system, others stem from more general ethical principles. Three such sources of the rule are: the attorney-client contract, the constitutional guarantees stemming from the Fifth …

Babbitt V. Brandeis: The Decline Of The Professional Ideal, William H. Simon
Faculty Scholarship
The vision of professionalism that entranced the liberal legal elite for a century now strikes most lawyers and law students as implausible or uninteresting or both. The papers in this symposium by Robert Nelson and by Ronald Gilson and Robert Mnookin are outstanding examples of two of the current modes of repudiation of this vision: the mode of skepticism and the mode of indifference. Nelson takes the claims of the professional vision seriously, and, using a methodology responsive to them, sets out to refute them. Gilson and Mnookin ignore the vision, and, using a methodology that assumes the vision's invalidity, …

Faculty Scholarship
Large corporate law firms seem to be in a state of extraordinary flux. Success and failure are both on the rise. Large firms appear to supply a substantial and growing proportion of the legal services consumed by American business enterprises and to hire a significant fraction of the graduating classes of elite American law schools. Moreover, the last twenty years have witnessed a remarkable expansion in both the number of large firms and the absolute size of the biggest. But accompanying this striking success, there are also signs of serious institutional instability. During the last few years, several previously successful …

In these remarks, I will speak briefly about the question of a lawyer's accountability to clients in public interest law. This is the fundamental theoretical problem confronting the public interest law movement, at least from the point of view of traditional models of adjudication.
