An Attorney's Right To Retain Fees Derived From A Fraudulent Law Suit, Leonard Pertnoy

Faculty Articles

The remedy of restitution, used to prevent unjust enrichment, is a fundamental right firmly entrenched in the common law. This is especially true in cases where a victim seeks equitable relief to require the return of money or property obtained as a result of fraud. However, should the defrauded person always be entitled to be made whole? Similarly, the remedy of forfeiture is also a deeply rooted legal concept, finding its beginnings in early English common law. Originally, forfeiture was a punishment annexed by law to some illegal act. However, the concept of deodand now not only includes forfeiture of …

Florida Bar V. Went For It, Inc.: The Supreme Court Opens The Door For Heightened Limits On Attorney Advertising, Brett A. Steele

Mercer Law Review

Florida Bar v. Went For It, Inc. involves the constitutionality of Florida Bar rules prohibiting personal injury lawyers from sending targeted direct-mail solicitations to accident victims and their families within thirty days following an accident. In March 1992, respondent Went For It, Inc., a lawyer referral service, and its owner, G. Stewart McHenry, filed suit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Florida Bar, seeking declatory and injunctive relief. After referral from the district court, a magistrate judge recommended summary judgment in favor of the Florida Bar. The magistrate judge found that the …

Conflicts Of Interests In The Representation Of Children, Nancy J. Moore

Faculty Scholarship

Conflicts of interests arise whenever the representation of a client may be materially limited by the lawyer's duties to either another client or a third person or by the interests of the lawyer herself.' Analyzing such conflicts typically requires identifying situations involving a potentially impermissible conflict, determining whether the conflict is consentable, and, if it is, obtaining consent after full disclosure.2 Conflicts analysis is difficult enough when the client is an adult.3 When the client is a child, however, the analysis is complicated by a number of factors. For example, in the wide variety of cases in which children (or …

Representation Of Claimants At Unemployment Compensation Proceedings: Identifying Models And Proposed Solutions, Maurice Emsellem, Monica Halas

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Emsellem and Halas posit that claimants need representation at unemployment compensation proceedings. Evaluating statistical and survey data, the authors find that representation significantly improves a claimant's chance of receiving unemployment compensation. Improved recovery rates, they argue, benefit not only claimants but also society. The authors analyze the factors inducing employer appeals of compensation awards. They also review the systemic issues that accompany the provision of representation to those unable to afford it or to those unfamiliar with the unemployment compensation process. Finally, the authors present models of expanding claimant representation.

Aba Accreditation Of Law Schools: An Antitrust Analysis, Andy Portinga

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The accreditation activities of the American Bar Association are under attack. From within legal academia, professors and deans complain that the ABA accreditation process is overly formalistic and intrusive. In addition, the Massachusetts School of Law has sued the ABA, alleging that the ABA's accreditation standards violate the Sherman Act. From outside legal academia, the Department of Justice has investigated the ABA's accreditation activities and initiated an antitrust suit against the ABA. The Department of Justice and the ABA immediately settled this suit, and, as a result of this settlement, the ABA has agreed not to enforce certain standards and …

Women In The Courts: An Old Thorn In Men's Sides, Nikolaus Benke

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This article was inspired by the work of a series of state task forces on women in the courts. It examines the subject from a historical perspective, comparing ancient Rome, mainly during the period from the first century B.C. to the third A.D., with the United States, from its prerevolutionary beginnings to the present. The article's focus is gender bias against women acting in official court functions.

On Seeing Chinese Law From A Chinese Point Of View: An Appreciative Look At The Scholarly Career Of Professor William Jones, Janet Ainsworth

Faculty Articles

In this appreciative review, Professor William Jones's work is used to demonstrate that sensitivity to issues of methodology are indispensable for comparative law scholars. Professor Jones's work is valuable because (1) it is marked both by an awareness of the methodological difficulties faced by the comparativist and a confidence that it is nonetheless possible to transcend these difficulties and (2) it makes a meaningful contribution to the development of an understanding of a foreign legal order. The article concludes by stating that Professor Jones's work will influence future generations of scholars trying to answer the why, what, and how of …

Lawyers Learning To Survive: The Application Of Adventure-Based Learning To Skills Development, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Keeping pace with the changing face of Australian legal practice requires new approaches to teaching, both at university level and in professional training. This article considers the integration of adventure-based learning (ABL) approaches to meet new challenges in skills training. The discussion reviews the relevant literature and reports on a recent ethnographic study on the effectiveness of ABL techniques in the teaching of skills at tertiary level. Both the literature review and the ethnographic study indicate that ABL is an effective method for developing participants' skills. The results of the study suggest that ABL is effective for coaching participants in …

On Teaching Legal Ethics In The Law Office, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Edward J. Murphy, my teacher, colleague, and friend, was as devoted as anyone at Notre Dame could be, to a Christian law school on this campus. He announced a personal and institutional claim, and he expressed his hope as well, when he told our graduating law class, in 1994, that this is "a school which publicly and without apology proclaims its religious roots."

And he was as interested as anyone could be in identifying those religious roots, and exploring the implications of them for the practice of law at the end of the twentieth century in the United States of …

Should Lawyers Obey The Law?, William H. Simon

Faculty Scholarship

At the same time that it denies authority to nonlegal norms, the dominant view of legal ethics (the "Dominant View") insists on deference to legal ones. "Zealous advocacy" stops at the "bounds of the law."

By and large, critics of the Dominant View have not challenged this categorical duty of obedience to law. They typically want to add further public-regarding duties, but they are as insistent on this one as the Dominant View.

Now the idea that lawyers should obey the law seems so obvious that it is rarely examined within the profession. In fact, however, once you start to …
