Ethics Accountability: The Next Era For Lawyers And Judges, Renee Knake Jefferson

Cardozo Law Review

Five decades ago, United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered remarks that sound like they were written in the early 2020s: [O]ur profession has recently suffered greatly because a score of lawyers has been convicted or indicted for felonious conduct in the performance of their official duties in the highest reaches of our national government. . . . Their alleged criminal offenses pertain to serious violations of our system of justice and to the performance of basic functions of government.

Reforming The Rules: A Proposal For Modifying The Model Rules Of Professional Conduct To Permit Partnerships Between Lawyers And Nonlawyers In The Practice Of Law, Sholom Zeitlin

Cardozo Law Review

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit partnerships between lawyers and nonlawyers in the practice of law, a ban that purportedly exists to protect lawyers’ professional independence of judgment. Despite this noble sentiment, the prohibition ultimately hurts the legal market, to the expense of potential clients, by limiting the professional options available at the lawyer’s disposal. The existence of lawyer-nonlawyer partnerships, recently espoused by two states, both decreases the costs and barriers involved in obtaining justice and encourages much-needed legal innovation. While other scholars have proposed schemes that would permit such partnerships without compromising the lawyer’s professional responsibility, their methods …

Revisiting Reasonable Cybersecurity, Jeffrey L. Vagle

Cardozo Law Review

Prospective theories of cybersecurity liability have traveled over some well-worn paths over the past three decades, resulting in some successes, but also in at least as many cul-de-sacs and dead ends. Part of this problem can be found in the difficulty and complexity of the subject itself. Courts, legislators, and regulators all face comprehension difficulties when they attempt to fit our existing legal system around cybersecurity, often resulting in half-measures and generalized solutions that are challenging to apply to the widely different technical details behind each case. And in the background, we have a general reluctance to create legal regimes …
