The Ethics Of Lobbying Under The District Of Columbia Rules Of Professional Conduct, Michael S. Frisch 2013 Georgetown University Law Center

The Ethics Of Lobbying Under The District Of Columbia Rules Of Professional Conduct, Michael S. Frisch

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The District of Columbia is the epicenter of lobbying in the United States. With the presence of the Congress, the Executive Branch and its various Departments and independent agencies, few industries, trade associations or large businesses lack a Washington-based government relations arm. Law firms and lawyers fill in the gaps for those entities that lack a Washington presence or supplement in-house staffing with additional expertise and contacts.

Under these circumstances, it should come as no surprise that the bar authorities in the District of Columbia have examined the issue of lawyers and lobbying and implemented rules that differ from the …

In Good Company: How Corporate Social Responsibility Can Protect Rights And Aid Efforts To End Child Sex Trafficking And Modern Slavery, Erika George, Scarlet R. Smith 2013 Boston University School of Law

In Good Company: How Corporate Social Responsibility Can Protect Rights And Aid Efforts To End Child Sex Trafficking And Modern Slavery, Erika George, Scarlet R. Smith

Faculty Scholarship

The principal contribution of this Article is to show that, in many cases, the private sector, in cooperation with law enforcement, can initiate and implement policies that help increase the likelihood that buyers and traffickers are caught ultimately making access to child sex workers more difficult. Most commentary regarding child sex trafficking focuses on the failures of local law enforcement to find a solution. However, this Article argues that the private business sector can effectively supplement the efforts of law enforcement, nongovernmental organizations, and international human rights initiatives to protect exploited children. In Part I, this Article first introduces the …


Legally Blind: The Therapeutic Illusion In The Support Study Of Extremely Premature Infants, George J. Annas, Catherine L. Annas 2013 Boston University School of Law

Legally Blind: The Therapeutic Illusion In The Support Study Of Extremely Premature Infants, George J. Annas, Catherine L. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

Physician-researchers follow a protocol to generate generalizable knowledge; physicians have a duty to treat patients in ways they and their patients think best. In both activities, research and treatment, physicians often see themselves simply as physicians, practicing medicine. Sick people have similar perception difficulties, and prefer to think of their physician-researcher simply as their physician, even when their treatment is 2 determined by a protocol or the flip of a coin. Almost 20 years ago, in this Journal, one of us suggested that at least some researchers use language "to obscure; to blur or eliminate the distinctions between research …
