Tardiness Of Attorneys As Contempt Of Court, Thomas L. Esper

Cleveland State Law Review

Tardiness of an attorney is a violation of the Cannons of Professional Ethics. A continual disregard of the canons of ethics constitutes misconduct or moral turpitude. Misconduct or moral turpitude are grounds for disbarment. Just as clearly, tardiness of an attorney is punishable as contempt of court. Contempt of court is viewed as a criminal conviction, since the contemner is subject to fines and imprisonment. Contempt of court, if sufficiently repeated, is ground for disbarment.

The American Bar Association And The Supreme Court--Old Wine In A New Bottle?, Ronald H. Jensen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Preparation of this article was commenced shortly after the emergence of the difference of opinion between the ABA and the City Bar on the practice of submitting the names of Supreme Court nominees to the ABA. We believed this to be a sufficiently important issue to deserve a thorough review, particularly because of a paucity of legal commentary on the subject. Our major attention is still directed to that issue, but the recent action of the Attorney General necessarily requires some expansion of the scope of this inquiry. We confine this study to the matter of selection of Supreme Court …

Discretionary Justice: A Preliminary Inquiry, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

Professor McGee reviews Discretionary Justice: A Preliminary Inquiry, by Kenneth Culp Davis. Davis, suggesting both that we are a government of men as much as of laws and that discretion begins where law ends, sets out to determine how much unnecessary discretionary power can be contracted and how necessary discretionary power can be both confined and structured.

The Social Control Of Science And Technology, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Science and technology increasingly work changes in the complex matrix of society. These changes pervade our ecological systems and our physical and psychic health. Less perceptibly, they pervade our culture, our values, and our value based institutions such as the law. In turn, our values and institutions shape the progress and utilization of science and technology.

As we know, science and technology have provided society with enormous material benefits and a higher standard of living and health. But we now realize that this process has been accompanied by alarming rates of resource consumption and many new hazards to ecological systems …

False Or Suppressed Evidence: Why A Need For The Prosecutorial Tie, Ronald L. Carlson

Scholarly Works

Many United States Supreme Court decisions have overturned criminal convictions for the reason that the government employed false evidence to obtain the conviction or failed to disclose relevant evidence important to the defense. In reversing federal or state judgments, the Court often has located direct proof of wrongdoing by the prosecutor. The notorious "bloody shorts" case is an example in point.' There, the state introduced as evidence a pair of men's "blood-stained" undershorts to achieve conviction of the accused. When the blood turned out to be red paint, the Supreme Court granted habeas corpus relief to the defendant because "[it …

Trade Association Offering Legal Services - A Possibility For Small Corporations, Robert R. Hussey

Cleveland State Law Review

Small corporations generally belong to a trade association which allows them to increase their proficiency in and knowledge of their industry. As a possible solution to the problem of increasing legal service requirements this paper investigates the suitability of allowing these trade associations to provide legal services to member corporations.

Labor Union Group Legal Service For Members, Eugene Green

Cleveland State Law Review

The right of associations to provide their members with legal services appears to be as broad as the freedom of assembly and discussion protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. These freedoms "are not confined to any field of human interest" and are of the same dimension in matters of local or national interest.

Pragmatic Approach To Problems Of Group Law Practice, Herschel Kriger

Cleveland State Law Review

United Mine Workers of America, District 12 v. Illinois State Bar Association, is one of the latest in a line of holdings which have demonstrated that areas heretofore considered by the Bar as sacrosanct unto itself or the state courts are not immune from re-evaluation. That decision, rendered on December 5, 1967, was not unexpected in the light of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in NAACP v. Button, and Railroad Trainmen v. Virginia Bar Association, and the process is likely to continue.

Emily Post Goes To Court, Vincent S. Dalsimer

Cleveland State Law Review

After a few years of observing attorneys from the other side, rather than the other end, of the counsel table, I have concluded that courtroom etiquette is the most rapidly declining of all of the social or professional graces. Perhaps this is because the fine points of the art are essentially trivia. Perhaps, on the other hand, the laudable modern trend away from the rigidity of procedure and the pre-trial sanctity of the opposing side's theory of the lawsuit has been carried to the point of dropping the facade of courtesy along with the penetration of the shield of the …

Group Law Services In Patent Law, G. Franklin Rothwell

Cleveland State Law Review

If group legal services are to pervade the field of patent law, and in view of the UMW case and the activities of the unregistered patent practitioners, that I suspect is imminent, the most stringent safeguards should be specifically set forth, including the following: specific approvaland regulation by the Patent Office of the group, its modus operandi,and the patent practitioners participation; and stringent restrictions by the Patent Office of the groups' advertising and promotional activities, both written and outside the group. The Patent Office now has statutory authority to regulate registered practitioners, and some regulation could be accomplished in this …

James V. Headley: Right To Counsel For Petty Offenses

Georgia Law Review

The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the case of James v. Headley' was confronted with the question of whether an accused is entitled to court-appointed counsel when charged only with a "petty offense," that is, an offense carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and/or a $500 fine. Basing its decision on the sixth amendment,the court concluded that the two appellants were entitled to have court appointed counsel. The court, in an opinion by Judge Wisdom, held that as a general proposition, there is a sixth amendment right to counsel for any defendant in a …
