	The Greatest American Lawyer
		Lawyers who wake up thinking about the fact that they have to bill 8 hours to a client are hardly thinking about the right things.
		This is why lawyers too have a role in making sure that clients Get It Right the First Time and ensure people don't go to jail for simple stupidity.
		Under the hourly billing model a lawyer is usually piled up with work so high that they spend almost all of their day putting out fires.

	New challenges for the American lawyer in international human rights Washington and Lee Law Review - Find Articles
		L Introduction Every licensed lawyer in the United States takes an oath to support or uphold the Constitution ofthe United States and to support or uphold the laws of the respective state in which he or she is licensed.
		For many practitioners and courts alike, international norms on human rights are irrelevant, for "it is American conceptions of decency that are dispositive."' Domestic lawyers, however, more often are invoking the law of international human rights in an effort to expand the protection afforded their clients' civil, criminal, social, political, and economic rights.
		The American Lawyer in International Human Rights: A Brief Overview Lawyers who promote or defend international human rights already serve a public good, one that is defined on behalf of individuals and in terms of internationally-accepted norms.

	Gerry Armstrong--Scientology's War Against Judges by James B. Stewart, Jr. The American Lawyer December 1980
		One lawyer who represents Scientologists and has worked with Boudin and Hirschkop offers this ideological defense for their taking the case: "It is a simple case of government overreaching." he says.
		Although government lawyers, led by chief prosecutor Raymond Banoun, protested vigorously, arguing that the Scientologists were using their own possibly illegal activities to disqualify the judge, Hart granted the recusal motion and stepped down.
		Government lawyers pointed out in their memo that Oberdorfer was formerly an assistant attorney general in charge of the tax division of the Justice Department, which had prosecuted a case that ended the tax- exempt status for the founding Church of Scientology in Los Angeles in 1969.

		Lawyers are not paid to defend "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," the authors note; they are paid to defend their clients, and the duty of zealous advocacy sometimes pushes lawyers to work at the margins of decency.
		Clients want to hire successful lawyers, of course, and the lawyers who are successful are too often the ones who are willing to ignore the boundaries of professional responsibility.
		Before you talk to your personal lawyer (or an insurance company's, or a class-action lawyer, etc.), and chances are you will at some point in an unexpected event, you need to know what may be going on in his or her head.

		The Moral Compass of the American Lawyer is a sweeping overview of the ethical dilemmas that face every member of the legal profession every day--whether they are a criminal defense lawyer, personal injury attorney, corporate in-house counsel, or junior associate at a 500-lawyer megafirm.
		The earlier chapters deal with the types of scenarios that underlie the general public's distrust of lawyers: criminal trial attorneys who protect or become complicit with defendants; corporate attorneys who do the same for their wealthy clients.
		Lawyers will find little surprising here - other than the impression that the temple of the law is falling about heads and we know nothing, or care nothing, about it.

	Notes: The Moral Compass of the American Lawyer: Truth, Justice, Power, and Greed
		The Moral Compass of the American Lawyer, using actual cases, articles, studies, and fictitious situations, examines a lawyer's duty to represent a client while maintaining ethical commitments of truth and justice to themselves and the public.
		When discussing a lawyer's solicitation to family members of the TWA Flight 800 victims' family members, for example Zitrin and Langford blatantly call such actions "egregious conduct" that should not be excused (128), without fully explaining their position and listing the reasons for opposing opinions.
		The restatements of the American Law Institute (ALI) apparently "carry considerable weight with many judges in many state", but it is unclear how they could carry any weight if their interpretation is known to alter a statute's semantics—whatever the standing of a restatement's author(s), the restatement surely could not advertently override legislational semantics (139).

	American Lawyer/Student Edition
		Summer interns were impatient to find out what life as a "real" lawyer is all about, and firms were happy to accommodate.
		A Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison clerk of Middle Eastern descent applauded the firm's "genuine level of diversity." An African American clerk praised the diversity of Bingham McCutchen's summer class, noting that five of 26 were gay and nine of 26 were from minority groups.
		The firm's hiring partner, Keith Pagnani, says the survey results "are wholly inconsistent with the uniformly positive feedback we received from summer associates." Still, lack of feedback (from firm lawyers) was a fairly common complaint, along with gripes about unfriendly and "extreme" partners, too much work, and lack of guidance.

		Q: One of the key pieces of evidence bin Laden cited in issuing his jihad was the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia.
		Also, bin Laden claims that the countries of the Gulf, and especially Saudi Arabia, are countries without sovereignty, that the Saudis are a puppet government and hence their decision to grant permission to American troops to be in Arabia is not an autonomous decision.
		Bin Laden would be shocked to hear that in many ways he epitomizes American legal realism: You reach the result and work backward to find the justification in the text.

		The lawyers conceal the information obtained from their client about where he buried the bodies of several victims still reported as missing.
		The authors contend that many of the ethical problems of lawyers stem from an unbending adherence to the adversary system, which presumes that if attorneys each zealously represent their clients, then justice will be done.
		Although lawyers clearly have a fiduciary duty to represent their clients with undivided loyalty and competence, the authors note that the more recent ethics rules and codes (including those in California) have eliminated references to zealous representation as one of the required duties.
