Bakke, DeFunis, and Minority Admissions: The Quest for Equal Opportunity

By Allan P. Sindler.

Sindler describes the admissions programs at the Universities of Washington and California-Davis, and the respective experiences of Marco DeFunis and Allan Bakke that preceded their litigation. Then, documenting the disparity in academic qualifications between accepted minorities and rejected nonminorities, Sindler addresses the broad issue before the courts. Is the reservation of academic "places" for minorities an inherently two-track system, which operates as an illegal quota to exclude "better-qualified" applicants; or may a school utilize race as a basis for selection in order to fulfill other commitments …

Access To The Work Product Of An Attorney Disqualified For Opposing A Former Client: First Wisconsin Mortgage Trust, Edward S. Annunziato

Vanderbilt Law Review

The purposes of this Recent Development are to analyze the effect of the Seventh Circuit's work product decision on disqualification standards and to develop a consistent framework for determining whether access to the work product of an attorney disqualified for opposing a former client should be allowed. This Recent Development urges that in order to provide the effective guidance necessary for both voluntary compliance and judicial enforcement, the Code must incorporate those judicial standards that most closely reflect its standards in this area. Thus the Recent Development proposes an Ethical Consideration regarding access to work product that reflects the ethical …

The Pursuit Of A Client's Interest, Warren Lehman

Michigan Law Review

There has been recently a resurgence of interest in how the lawyer serves his client. Much of that interest has been occasioned by the indigestibility of the idea that the lawyer is, as it is said, a hired gun. There are those who think that instead the lawyer ought to act toward his client as a therapist. Others are concerned with rationalizing for the lawyer the ethical discomforts of servantship (which many might guess have been brought to the fore by Watergate). Yet others see the client as victim of a structure - represented by the lawyer - that frustrates …

Law And The Press In West Virginia, Helen Coon Carper

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

How well do West Virginia’s press laws serve the West Virginia writer” Do we have enough law? If not, what do we need? The forgoing chapters provide an overview of the laws that exist for the writer in seven areas: Copyright, Fair Trial and Free Press, Shield Law, Libel, The Right of Privacy, Freedom of Information, and Open Meetings.

Only three of the above areas are regulated by West Virginia constitutional or stationary law: libel, access to government records, and access to government meetings.

Regulation of libel is provided by West Virginia’s Constitution with the West Virginia Code providing for …

Misprision Of Antitrust Felony, Robert J. Hoerner

Cleveland State Law Review

When an attorney discovers clear evidence that his corporate client has committed an antitrust felony, he and his client are immediately confronted with an interrelated tangle of extraordinarily difficult questions. There has been much concern over these questions, particularly since violation of sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Sherman Act became indictable as felonies on December 21, 1974. Little has been written, however, on the misprision issue. Antitrust practitioners are not ordinarily trained in the contours of 18 U.S.C. § 4, the federal misprision statute. Our criminal practice is typically in rarified and antiseptic economic fields, and does not …

Balzacian Legality, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

The study of law and literature is an area of growing interest to legal scholars in the United States. Honore de Balzac incorporated in his works a panoramic view of the social reality of nineteenth century France. In this context, the fidelity of Balzac's plots and characters to their external models has been well-documented in a number of fields, including sociology, commerce, and finance. In addition to this penchant for realism, however, Balzac laced his novels with an equally evident moral content. This commitment to accuracy and morality also influenced Balzac's novelistic treatment of the law and lawyers.

Balzac's work …

Professional Ethics And Trial Publicity: Another Constitutional Attack On Dr7-107- Hirschkop V. Snead, Stephen E. Baril

University of Richmond Law Review

Philip J. Hirschkop brought an action seeking a declaratory judgment that Disciplinary Rule 7-107 of the Virginia Code of Professional Responsibility, was unconstitutionally vague and over broad. DR 7-107, generally referred to as the "no-comment" rule, prohibits extrajudicial statements by attorneys regarding pending litigation in which they are involved, "if there is a reasonable likelihood that such dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice."

University of Richmond Law Review

This Comment focuses on the confidential communication privileges recognized under federal and Virginia law. The history of rule 501 of the Federal Rules of Evidence is discussed in order to illustrate the policies which Congress intended to further by enacting it and to shed some light on how Congress intended the rule to operate.

Finally, specific privileges which have been recognized by federal courts and specific privileges recognized under Virginia law are enumerated.
