The New Glass Ceiling, Andrea K. Schneider, Abigail R. Bogli, Hannah L. Chin

Articles

Until the last decade, gender inequality in the legal profession was selfevident. Law school classrooms and law firm offices were overwhelmingly filled with men. In recent years, women have outnumbered men in law school classes and reached parity with men among first-year associates. These developments have created the misperception that gender equality has been achieved. In this Article, we challenge this complacency. We present new evidence from a detailed case study of law firms in a midsize city, showing that women remain underrepresented in leadership roles and underpaid relative to their colleagues. We then show how the limited opportunities and …

The Constitution Without Tears, Gene Carter

Maine Law Review

The coming plethora of Bicentennial speeches and activities are intended to provide occasions for public figures and private persons to say something helpful to a current and realistic understanding of the role of the Constitution in our daily lives; and, hopefully, something at least modestly expository of our duties as citizens of American constitutional democracy.

The Afro-American And The Constitution: Colonial Times To The Present, James L. Watson

Maine Law Review

The theme of this essay is the Afro-American and the Constitution: Colonial Times to the Present. When I was told about this theme, my first reaction was to follow the advice of the famous black philosopher, Satchel Paige, who said, "Don't look back because what is behind you might be catching up." My discipline, however, forced me to look back at the Constitution and particularly how it has affected black Americans.

A Commemorative, Eric Robert Herlan Editor-In-Chief

Maine Law Review

In this issue the Maine Law Review joins in the national celebration of the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution. Three distinguished federal judges, all of whom are intimately familiar with that great document, have kindly contributed essays to the Review based on speeches they have earlier given for the Bicentennial. We are happy to present these essays, each of which has an important perspective on the Constitution, as our commemorative on this special occasion.

A Genealogy Of Founders, Frank M. Coffin

Maine Law Review

Two hundred years ago this spring George Washington wrote to our fellow Mainer, General Henry Knox, that because of the illness of his mother he would not be able to attend the Philadelphia Convention. If her health had not speedily improved, we might have had quite a different kind of Bicentennial, for both Washington and Benjamin Franklin, though largely silent in the debates, were palpable sources of strength. As it is, we have the happy occasion to celebrate what Everett Ladd has called "the expression of a nation-defining consensus on political values," our nationalizing principle, the one supreme bond linking …

Developing A Professional Identity: Lessons For Women, Bipoc, And First-Generation Law Students From The Canaries In The Coalmines, Christine M. Venter

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This Article explores the concept of professional identity formation in the law, particularly as it pertains to women and lawyers of color. The topic of professional identity formation is an understudied area in legal education, despite the ABA’s new Standard 303(b)(3), which requires law schools to provide substantial opportunities for the development of professional identity. In the legal field, professional identity is often conflated with professionalism, which leads to confusion about how law schools should best prepare their students for their professional lives, and fails to fully equip students to join the profession.

Studies from other professions have shown that …

How Attorneys Can Be Quasi-Mediators, John Lande

Faculty Publications

This distills insights from a forthcoming article, How Can You Turn Adversarial Attorneys into Quasi-Mediators? The article is a Theory Meets Practice column in CPR’s Alternatives magazine that summarizes a discussion with members of the Association of Attorney-Mediators.

Attorneys acting as quasi-mediators prefer to be cooperative and use mediation techniques but they aren’t neutral. They tailor their actions based on their clients’ preferences and the other side’s approach. Another term for quasi-mediators is “good lawyers.”

Based on the forthcoming article and the Real Practice Systems Project Menu of Mediation Checklists, this two-page article lists things that mediators can do to …

The Seven Essential Law School Simulation Courses, Mitch Zamoff

Utah Law Review

As we mark the ten-year anniversary of the American Bar Association’s six-credit experiential learning requirement and the launch of the NextGen bar exam, it is critical for U.S. law schools to conduct rigorous assessments of their experiential education curricula. While most law schools now offer students meaningful opportunities to develop lawyering skills in clinics and field placements, there is much less consistency in their simulation course offerings. Simulation courses are a critical component of experiential legal education. While students in clinics and field placements gain valuable, realistic experience addressing the issues presented by their actual clients, those issues may sometimes …
