Needed: The Social-Scientific Lawyer, Kent M. Weeks
Needed: The Social-Scientific Lawyer, Kent M. Weeks
Cleveland State Law Review
Once confined to academic journals and considered irrelevant to American law, the empirical findings of the behavioral sciences are now the lawyer's tools. The Supreme Court not only accepts empirical data of the social scientists in briefs, but implicitly seeks such data in order to enable the court to make decisions.
Opinions Of Counsel: Responsibilities And Liabilities, Gaspare A. Corso Jr.
Opinions Of Counsel: Responsibilities And Liabilities, Gaspare A. Corso Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
I have surveyed the views of lawyers and laymen in an effort to ascertain: what lawyers intend their opinion letters to be, what clients expect when they request opinion letters, and what is expected by various governmental agencies from lawyers representing clients before such agencies.
Fair And Reasonable Attorney Fees, Jack Griesmar
Fair And Reasonable Attorney Fees, Jack Griesmar
Cleveland State Law Review
The beginning of each attorney and client relationship places the attorney in a position of having to determine the worth of his service for the particular work required of him, in order that he may do the "job" for this particular client. The attorney has invested a great deal of time and expense in developing his skills in the area of the law. He is given the right to charge for the service which he can render by the state or states in which he is licensed to practice his trade. The question then presents itself: What is a fair …
Processing A Workmen's Compensation Case In Ohio, James L. Young
Processing A Workmen's Compensation Case In Ohio, James L. Young
Cleveland State Law Review
The Workmen's Compensation system, which has been a part of Ohio law since May 31, 1911, represents a sharp departure in concept from the earlier methods of redressing work injuries. Under Workmen's,Compensation, neither the negligence of the employer nor that of, the employee plays any part in the determination of the employee's entitlement to the stated benefits. It is the fact of injury sustained in the course of and arising out of employment which is critical.
The Law, The Lawyers, And The Writers, L. Neille Shoemaker
The Law, The Lawyers, And The Writers, L. Neille Shoemaker
Cleveland State Law Review
The great writers have one thing in common-they castigate the human race, including themselves, the frailties of mankind, and his noble institutions. Law and the lawyers have suffered at the hands of the writers. The doctors have suffered even more. Most rulers, if they lived long enough, have been the subject of satire, caricatures, exposure, or castigation. The church and churchmen have also suffered. The principal subject matter of satire over the centuries has been the Church. ... Because of this general emphasis on soiled humanity, the legal profession need not feel alone as it finds itself the subject matter …

There is no profession which has more to gain from dramatic new technological developments for the automation of information than the legal profession.

A Revolution In The Law Practice, F. William Mccalpin
A Revolution In The Law Practice, F. William Mccalpin
Cleveland State Law Review
When I was a boy, there was a popular abbreviated saying, "Comes the revolution," with the usually unsaid, but well understood additive, "Things will be different around here." My suggestion in this writing is that we may well be on the verge of a revolution in the practice of law, and that things may indeed "be different around here" in the practice.
Legal Ethics And The Poverty Program, Kenneth D. Korosec
Legal Ethics And The Poverty Program, Kenneth D. Korosec
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper has attempted to reconcile the neighborhood legal services plan with the existing Canons of Professional Ethics.The prime argument is that the plan provides benefits to society, and that the Canons were designed to prevent evils far different from the questions presented by the project. This is the fundamental issue: whether the canons are merely bent, or, in reality, broken. In either event, the canons should not prevent justice for those too poor to pay for a lawyer. The"redeeming social interest" spoken of by the Court in obscenity cases and the "overriding social importance" talked about in social legislation …
A Neighborhood Law Office: The New Haven Project, Charles D. Gill
A Neighborhood Law Office: The New Haven Project, Charles D. Gill
Cleveland State Law Review
The first new step taken by the New Haven community was the establishment of free legal services for the poor in offices located within poverty stricken neighborhoods. The offices serve all persons residing within a particular geographic area who meet a financial eligibility standard. Our services are available in both civil and criminal matters. The only type of cases specifically excluded are personal injury plaintiff suits, where there is the possibility of a contingent fee arrangement.
Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson
Solicitation By And For Attorneys, Richard R. Gygli, Gordon W. Larson
Cleveland State Law Review
The young attorney often may have time on his hands. He may be tempted to increase his following by advertising or by soliciting clients, but rules of the bar and statutes against solicitation prevent this. There are, of course, some forms of advertising open to all lawyers. National directories and law lists, such as the Martin dale-Hubbell Law Directory, theoretically published only for lawyers, not only advertise the attorney and his firm, but also list the names of any clients whom he wishes to give as representative of his practice and his specialties.
The Solo Practitioner And The Poverty Program, Howard M. Rossen
The Solo Practitioner And The Poverty Program, Howard M. Rossen
Cleveland State Law Review
For economic reasons the young individual general practitioner must accept and handle practically all potential new business. He must expect to get, at first, repetitive legal matters that will constitute a large part of his early practice. And he must learn quickly how to handle a very demanding clientele. He will learn very quickly that solo practice is not the most lucrative type of law practice.
Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus
Group Representation By Attorneys As Misconduct, Richard M. Markus
Cleveland State Law Review
This article is intended to consider the future of group retainers in light of the conflicting views of proponents and opponents. Attention will first be given to the "Canons of Professional Ethics" which affect this subject and the judicial decisions interpreting them. Next, an attempt will be made to evaluate the effect of the Supreme Court Brotherhood case, and other related decisions, upon the Canons. Finally, an effort will be made to anticipate the prospects of group legal service with a view towards implementing or modifying present standards.
Disciplinary Proceedings By The S. E. C. Against Attorneys, Paul J. Kemp
Disciplinary Proceedings By The S. E. C. Against Attorneys, Paul J. Kemp
Cleveland State Law Review
The securities and exchange commission, created by Section 4 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, has from its earliest days proclaimed its right to determine who may appear before or transact business with it in a representative capacity and in Rule 2 (e) of its present Rules of Practice has reserved to itself the right, in its discretion, to "deny, temporarily or permanently, the privilege of appearing or practicing before it in any way to any person who is found by the Commission after notice of and opportunity for hearing in the matter (1) not to possess the …
Attorney's Liability In Non-Client And Foreign Law Situations, John E. Martindale
Attorney's Liability In Non-Client And Foreign Law Situations, John E. Martindale
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will examine the liability of an attorney for an incorrect opinion where the complainant is not the attorney's client. It will also give special consideration to the problem of giving advice on the law of a jurisdiction other than the attorney's own state.
Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz
Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz
Cleveland State Law Review
The deposition plays an important role in the modern-day practice of law. The enormous backlog of cases in the courts requires preservation of precious testimony during the long wait prior to trial. In addition, the deposition is a valuable tool in evaluating a case, especially during settlement negotiations. Finally, the deposition is a prime means of discovering vital information. The notary public presides at the deposition, and is invested with quasi-judicial powers, including the power to punish for contempt. This paper will briefly survey both the procedural aspects of the deposition and the quasi-judicial power of the notary public.
Split Loyalty: An Ethical Problem For The Criminal Defense Lawyer, Gerald S. Gold
Split Loyalty: An Ethical Problem For The Criminal Defense Lawyer, Gerald S. Gold
Cleveland State Law Review
Nowhere in law do ethical considerations play a greater part or come into greater conflict than in the defense of those accused of crime. The lawyer defending an accused owes a duty to his client, a duty to society, and a duty to the court. The duties to each are not completely clear and when the various loyalties conflict, fair, safe, and moral resolutions are most difficult.
Abuse Of Attorneys By Judges, Francis G. Homan Jr.
Abuse Of Attorneys By Judges, Francis G. Homan Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
Popular notions have it that almost all misconduct in the courtroom is attributable to attorneys. Yet many practitioners before the bar have suffered abuse by members of the judiciary. How frequently this occurs is not known, but sometimes incidents of non-judicial conduct are revealed in other than case reports.
Reasonable Fee And Professional Discipline, William C. Romell
Reasonable Fee And Professional Discipline, William C. Romell
Cleveland State Law Review
The question propounded by this article is - what exactly is the "reasonable" fee, and conversely under what conditions may a fee be adjudged so unreasonable that the legal profession may administer justifiable discipline to the attorney charging such a fee?
New Rules Of The Supreme Court Of Ohio (An Analysis), Lee E. Skeel
New Rules Of The Supreme Court Of Ohio (An Analysis), Lee E. Skeel
Cleveland State Law Review
The Supreme Court of Ohio recently completed revision of its Rules of Practice. They became effective on July 1, 1964. Three subjects coming within the inherent power and within the constitutional and statutory jurisdiction of the Court are contained in the revision; that is, procedures for presenting cases in which the Court has original jurisdiction, cases which come within its appellate and revisory jurisdiction as provided in each case by the Constitution and Statutes of Ohio (Article IV, Sections 2 and 6), and admission to the practice of the law in Ohio and disciplinary procedures for members of the bar …
Legal Education For Certified Specialization, Philip E. Heckerling
Legal Education For Certified Specialization, Philip E. Heckerling
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this paper is to offer a partial solution to the public's loss of confidence in lawyers, suggesting that by means of post-graduate education conducted under the auspices of the various law schools, professional specialization in the law will be encouraged through certification, with the end result that lawyers and the public will both benefit psychologically and economically.

Attorney-Client Privilege And Corporations, Richard C. Klein
Attorney-Client Privilege And Corporations, Richard C. Klein
Cleveland State Law Review
On August 3, 1962 a memorandum decision was handed down in an antitrust proceeding which startled practicing attorneys and text writers alike. It held specifically that the "attorney-client privilege" did not apply to the corporate client.' What had been accepted as law for over one hundred and twenty-five years was curtly cast aside by Chief Judge William J. Campbell.
Attorney's Liens, Arthur F. Lustig
Attorney's Liens, Arthur F. Lustig
Cleveland State Law Review
In former years, an attorney was paid a fee "not as a salary or hire but as a mere gratuity which a counselor cannot demand without doing wrong to his reputation." These customs are long since past. The English rule that a counselor or barrister has no right to charge for his services and that he cannot enforce compensation no longer prevails in Ohio, for example, and in other states. Today, in most jurisdictions, an attorney's right to payment for services rendered is protected by statute. As of the end of 1955, thirty-one states had some form of an attorney's …
The Lawyers' Function Today, Nathaniel R. Howard
The Lawyers' Function Today, Nathaniel R. Howard
Cleveland State Law Review
This is the substance of the graduation address delivered by the writer at the June 1958 Commencement of Cleveland-Marshall Law School. If today's students of the law had engaged in their same study 600 years ago, the law then taught to them and believed by them would have included some principles, precedents, decrees, and even primary statutes which they have embraced in the year of Our Lord 1958.
Every Day Is Law Day, Lee E. Skeel
Every Day Is Law Day, Lee E. Skeel
Cleveland State Law Review
President Eisenhower proclaimed May 1st of this year as "Law Day," and the day was formally observed throughout the nation. Gratifying as that was, it is hardly enough, in this or any other era, for self-satisfaction about American appreciation of our heritage of liberty under law. More important than appreciation of this priceless heritage is appreciation of the stern duty that goes along with it. Unless we daily earn this prize, we daily lose some of it. Its real strength is the revitalizing effort we add to it in our daily lives. There soon would be no precious "liberty under …
Matt Excell - Trial Lawyer Extraordinary, Elmer E. Mcnulty
Matt Excell - Trial Lawyer Extraordinary, Elmer E. Mcnulty
Cleveland State Law Review
One day, in the civil assignment room, Matt Excell said to me: "When the Lord made that lawyer (pointing to one) he hand-carved him, and when He was making him (pointing to another) He was called to the telephone." If his own definition were to be applied to Matthew B. Excell, he was a lawyer "hand-carved by God." This story pertains to the period in which I knew, worked and lived with him in court and in the preparation of cases for court.

Reforms Needed In Negligence Practice, Howard L. Oleck
Reforms Needed In Negligence Practice, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
Negligence lawyers now often are classed with criminal lawyers, in public opinion, as the "black sheep" of the legal profession. In the minds of many average Americans, there is something vaguely disreputable about lawyers who specialize in plaintiffs' personal injury practice. Nor is defense practice deemed to be without blemish. That public opinion now is so well established, rightly or wrongly, that it no longer can be ignored.
