Something Bad In Your Briefs, Richard H. Underwood
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In a profession heavily driven by writing, plagiarism is an ethical issue that plagues the legal community. The legal profession generally views plagiarism as unethical, but often sends mixed messages by condemning it in some settings, but not others. In this short Commentary, Professor Underwood discusses the ethical implications of plagiarism in legal writing.

Systematically Thinking About Law Firm Ethics: Conference On The Ethical Infrastructure And Culture Of Law Firms, Susan Saab Fortney
Faculty Scholarship
To advance the discourse related to law firm ethics and the impact of formal controls and informal influences on lawyer conduct, we convened on April 5, 2013 the Conference on the Ethical Infrastructure and Culture of Law Firms ("Conference" or "Symposium"). The Conference, conducted under the auspices of the Hofstra Law Review and the Maurice A.

Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. Experts who have studied issues …

Taking Rules Seriously: The Rise Of Lawyer Rules As Substantive Law And The Public Policy Exception In Contract Law, Benjamin P. Cooper
Cardozo Law Review
Are the Rules of Professional Conduct "law?" In disciplinary proceedings, there is no question that they are, but their impact beyond the disciplinary realm remains a matter of controversy. As the Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers aptly states: "The legal effect of officially adopted lawyer codes is fundamental and diverse." Scholars have examined the non-disciplinary impact of the professional rules in a variety of areas, but this Article examines a largely unexplored question: the enforceability of certain agreements (e.g. lawyers splitting fees with nonlawyers) that are prohibited by the professional rules. If lawyers enter into these prohibited agreements, they …
Frivolous Motions And Abuses Of Process At The Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals,

Yeshiva University, Cardozo School of Law
Frivolous Motions And Abuses Of Process At The Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals, Devon Whittle
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article examines the application of rules sanctioning frivolous or abusive motions at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). While these rules are essential to prevent abuse of process, their application lacks consistency and clarity, leading to concerns about bias and undermining the principle of equality of arms. The article argues that developing a standardized framework for applying these rules would enhance fairness, reduce allegations of prejudice, and provide clearer guidance for counsel.

Thoughtful Practitioners And An Engaged Legal Community: The Impact Of The Teaching Of Procedure On The Legal Profession And On Civil Justice Reform, Janet Walker, Andrew Higgins, Thomas D. Rowe Jr., Carla Crifò
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
What difference does the teaching of civil procedure as an academic subject make to the practice of law, to the professional community in which lawyers practice, and to civil justice reform? In this article, proceduralists from Canada, England and Wales, the United States and Australia analyze the broader implications of teaching civil procedure as an integral feature of an academic legal education rather than as a part of vocational training. They consider ways in which the approach taken to the teaching of procedure in their legal system has influenced the evolution of the profession during a decade of increased public …

During the past 30 years, computers and other digital tools have evolved from scientific curiosities that promised to make our lives easy and paperless and threatened to make libraries go away to ubiquitous means of communication, research, entertainment, news, and much, much more. Access to technology for librarians today is as critical as having access to leather-bound books once was for the earliest librarians. In order to communicate with peers, patrons, and colleagues and to conduct legal research and create scholarship, today we need a device that lets us “see” the communication or information. This article explores the changing role …

Asean's Liberalization Of Legal Services: The Singapore Case, Pasha Li-Tian Hsieh
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article examines the liberalization of legal services in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community and ASEAN’s free trade agreements. Although trade in legal services is important to ASEAN’s goal as a “single market and production base,” the article challenges the weaknesses of ASEAN’s legal services liberalization. It then explores Singapore’s experiment on the regulations of foreign law firms and foreign lawyers, which have become substantially liberalized in the past decade. The article argues that while Singapore may serve as a positive example, ASEAN countries should be cautious of the gap …
