Differing Schools Of Thought: Changing Perceptions Of Oral Argument, Spencer D. Levine

St. Thomas Law Review

In this paper I will examine the changing perceptions of oral argument, as well as examine and review the data provided by the Office of State Courts Administrator ("OSCA") for Florida's appellate courts. Their data summarized the dispositions of all appeals in Florida from 2011 to 2015. The dispositions are separated between those cases disposed by oral argument and those cases disposed without oral argument. From this research, we can observe whether this data comports with the changing perceptions of oral argument. If there is a divergence in views, one may attempt to determine why. Is it rooted in the …

Attorney-Client Privilege And The Kovel Doctrine: Should Wisconsin Extend The Privilege To Communications With Third-Party Consultants?

Marquette Law Review

In today’s marketplace, the way that corporations conduct business is drastically changing, and lawyers are increasingly relying on third-party consultants, such as accountants or investment bankers, to facilitate them in providing accurate legal advice to corporate clients. Despite this reliance, whether the attorney–client privilege protects the communications between an attorney and a third-party consultant is often questioned. In United States v. Kovel, the Second Circuit found that the attorney–client privilege extended to communications between an attorney and a third-party consultant who acted as an interpreter. However, both federal and state courts have since split over the proper scope of the …

Ok, Google, Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Lawyering?, Melissa Love Koenig, Julie A. Oseid, Amy Vorenberg

Marquette Law Review

Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace human lawyering? The answer is

no. Despite worries that AI is getting so sophisticated that it could take over

the profession, there is little cause for concern. Indeed, the surge of AI in the

legal field has crystalized the real essence of effective lawyering. The lawyer’s

craft goes beyond what AI can do because we listen with empathy to clients’

stories, strategize to find the story that might not be obvious, thoughtfully use

our imagination and judgment to decide which story will appeal to an audience,

and creatively tell those winning stories.

When Less Is More: The Limitless Potential Of Limited Scope Representation To Increase Access To Justice For Low- To Moderate-Income Individuals, Kristy D'Angelo-Corker

Marquette Law Review

Both attorneys and judges take an oath to promote justice for all, however,

that is not the case in our current system. The world we live in today looks

incredibly different than it did just a few years ago and, as a result, the practice

of law must adapt to meet the changing needs of individuals in this new era.

Notably, the access to justice problem, specifically affecting low- to moderateincome

individuals, requires a shift in the availability of legal services

provided. Limited scope representation, which has been accepted by the

American Bar Association for 20+ years, where an attorney …

Shooting Fish, Michael L. Smith

Faculty Articles

Many academic legal articles begin with sweeping statements concerning the majesty of law, often noting that "the life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience" and that "the law embodies the story of a nation's development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics." This is not one of those articles, as it gets straight to the point, asking the question that's on everyone's mind: if you're walking next to a stream, river, lake, or pond, and you happen to see …

Special Report - From Start-Up To Scale-Up: A Report On The Innovation Clinic In Canada, Giuseppina D'Agostino

Commissioned Reports, Studies and Public Policy Documents

Intellectual property (IP) legal clinics play a crucial role in helping Canadian inventors and entrepreneurs bring their inventions to market while strengthening the foundations of the country’s innovation ecosystem. IP legal clinics provide pro bono IP information and assistance to under-resourced inventors who are not served by the profession. At the same time, when based at law schools, these clinics provide experiential learning opportunities to law students who want to work in the IP profession, which contributes to their career development and increases their legal and interpersonal acumen. These client and student-facing goals improve the ability of Canadians to recognize, …

Allowing Autistic Academics The Freedom To Be Autistic: The Ada And A Neurodiverse Future In Pennsylvania And Beyond, Brandon Stump

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This Article focuses on those Autistics who have the ability, in terms of intellect credential, and measurable skill, to enter the workplace. In particular, this Article addresses Autistics who are academics and teach at the collegiate level, specifically in the American legal classroom. I have chosen a narrow subset of a broad community to make a targeted argument for employment protection which can help expand the law for the entire Autistic community. While we are different than neurotypically developed persons, "[m]any with [Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)] have a high attention to detail and the ability to sustain intense concentration in …
