Professional Liability Of Lawyers In Pennsylvania, H. Reginald Belden, H. Reginald Belden Jr., Marcia Belden Lappas Jan 1972

Professional Liability Of Lawyers In Pennsylvania, H. Reginald Belden, H. Reginald Belden Jr., Marcia Belden Lappas

Duquesne Law Review

In the past decade, the bar, and especially the trial bar, has become keenly aware of the problems relating to the professional liability of medical doctors, osteopaths, and other practitioners of the healing arts. The number of medical malpractice suits, particularly against surgeons, has multiplied during that period of time. The verdicts in medical malpractice actions and the settlements arising out of such actions have been headlined in the newspapers in various parts of the country. While the law of medical malpractice has been developing into something of a specialty among some members of the trial bar, and while the …


Counsel Fees In Stockholders' Derivative And Class Actions-Hornstein Revisited, Douglas G. Cole Jan 1972

Counsel Fees In Stockholders' Derivative And Class Actions-Hornstein Revisited, Douglas G. Cole

University of Richmond Law Review

In 1939, the first in a series of four comprehensive law review articles by Professor George D. Hornstein was published on the subject of the award of counsel fees in stockholders' derivative suits and corporate class actions. These articles highlighted equitable principles peculiar to such actions, previously not fully understood by either attorneys or the courts, which have made derivative and class actions extremely effective weapons in the battle for corporate democracy. Three very basic questions were posed and answered: 1) Who will pay for the attorneys fees and expenses incurred in such litigation? 2) What factors govern the award …

Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut Jan 1972

Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut

Cleveland State Law Review

In 1952, an article appeared in Reader's Digest magazine castigating both the contingent fee system of financing litigation and the trial lawyers of the United States. Since that article appeared, the client public has been barraged with a stream of propaganda aimed at barring the use of the contingent fee as a means of retaining a lawyer.


Legal Malpractice: Improper Representation Of Conflicting Interests, Marshall J. Nachbar Jan 1972

Legal Malpractice: Improper Representation Of Conflicting Interests, Marshall J. Nachbar

Cleveland State Law Review

When an attorney, for whatever reason-sloth, over zealous conduct, or personal greed-represents a client without being completely loyal to the client's interests there are several things that may occur. The attorney may be subject to disciplinary or disbarment proceedings. He may be disqualified from further representing his client. If the attorney's actions have resulted in damage to his client the attorney may find himself the defendant in a malpractice action. If the cause of the damage is alleged to be the result of an attorney representing dual interests or improperly representing adverse interests then the cause of action will be …


Lawyers' Professional Liability Insurance, Donald J. Ladanyi Jan 1972

Lawyers' Professional Liability Insurance, Donald J. Ladanyi

Cleveland State Law Review

Due to the nature of his profession, the practicing lawyer is invariably confronted with significant financial risks. Because of the growing number of claims for professional negligence, coupled with the fact that the monetary risk of claims is largely unmeasurable, a constantly increasing proportion of lawyers is considering the feasibility of professional liability insurance protection. This type of insurance offers not only financial security, but also a means for the advantageous and efficient settlement of just claims without damaging notoriety.


Lawyers' Malpractice In Litigation, Nathaniel Rothstein Jan 1972

Lawyers' Malpractice In Litigation, Nathaniel Rothstein

Cleveland State Law Review

Until recently, when we spoke of malpractice we invariably meant medical malpractice. Less than 20 years ago only a handful of lawyers carried professional liability (malpractice) insurance. This is no longer true. Attorneys who practice in large metropolitan areas are now keenly aware of the importance and necessity of having this insurance coverage; and in no segment of the legal profession is this more urgent than amongst trial lawyers-for much like surgeons in the medical field, trial lawyers are the most vulnerable in attorney-malpractice lawsuits.


Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus Jan 1972

Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus

Cleveland State Law Review

Several states have minimum fee schedules that set the least amount of compensation a lawyer should charge for a specific legal service. There has been much confusion in bar associations across the country as to the application of minimum fee schedules and the consequences of non-compliance. The American Bar Association has published both formal and informal opinions in an attempt to clearly define the functions of the schedules. In view of the opinions, interviews and statistical studies on the subject of minimum fee schedules, it is apparent that they are too rigid to cope with the practical needs of the …


Commencement Of Statute Of Limitations For Malpractice Of An Attorney, James Gordon Joseph Jan 1972

Commencement Of Statute Of Limitations For Malpractice Of An Attorney, James Gordon Joseph

Cleveland State Law Review

In almost all jurisdictions the statute of limitations for the malpractice of an attorney is between one and three years. Although some argue that this is too short a period, the main problem is not in the statute but in its application. Difficulty arises when a court must decide at what point the statute of limitations begins to run. To appreciate a court's problem, the nature and reasons behind statutes of limitations must be understood


Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien Jan 1972

Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien

Cleveland State Law Review

The problems, indeed the inadequacy of present legal education in ethics and professional responsibility are well known. The traditional methods of preparing law students for the avoidance of ethical and even criminal complaints against them in their future practice of law have been, in the main, divisible into two general categories: the "pervasive" method, through which understanding is supposed to be gained by students as if by osmosis through all courses and general law school contract, and the "specific" method which offers a course in the subject. Both methods are commonly used but neither seems to have achieved an acceptable …


Manners, Morals And Legal Education, Thomas Ehrlich Jan 1972

Manners, Morals And Legal Education, Thomas Ehrlich

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Many spokesmen for the legal profession have been calling on the law schools to pay more attention to ethical responsibilities, usually meaning manners and civility. But many of today's law students believe that the profession is not meeting some of its public responsibilities. When that problem is squarely faced, with the law schools' help, then good manners should follow.
