Why Is There No Clear Doctrine Of Informed Consent For Lawyers?, Nancy J. Moore 2015 Boston Univeristy School of Law

Why Is There No Clear Doctrine Of Informed Consent For Lawyers?, Nancy J. Moore

Faculty Scholarship

Written as a contribution to a symposium issue of the Toledo Law Review honoring retiring professor Susan Martyn, this article takes as its starting point an early article by Professor Martyn entitled “Informed Consent in the Practice of Law.” In that article, Professor Martyn decried the inability of clients to control the course of their representation and urged state legislatures to remedy this situation by enacting legislation creating an action in damages based upon a lawyer’s failure to obtain the client’s informed consent. Such an action would be similar to common law actions that courts had recently recognized by patients …

Teaching Remedial Problem-Solving Skills To A Law School's Underperforming Students, John F. Murphy

Students in the bottom quarter of the class at the beginning of their 2L year are most at risk for failing the bar exam after graduation.
