Swamp Beth Ermatinger Hanan Albert E. (Ted) Wehde Staff Liaisons: Daniel Rossmiller & Cathleen Dettmann 0 FOREWORD “The dictionary defines "justice" as fairness. The system for administration of our laws is called the justice system because the single most important principle upon which that system is premised is fairness. Our laws, however, are complicated. They are created by local, state, tribal and federal legislative and administrative bodies. They are interpreted and enforced by local, state, tribal and federal courts, administrative and other agencies. The volume and complexity of the laws and the procedures for their administration have made it increasingly difficult to effectively utilize the justice system without the help of a lawyer. That means for those who cannot afford a lawyer, access to the system does not necessarily mean access to justice. “Publicly funded legal services, or "legal aid," evolved in an effort to insure that poverty was not an insurmountable barrier to justice. Financial and political support for this effort has been inconsistent over the years.” — Washington State Access to Justice Board, Introductory Paragraph, Hallmarks of an Effective Statewide Civil Legal Services System, Revised February 20, 2004 “The question has been raised, should we regard the provision of civil legal services for the poor as part of the central mission of state courts? My answer is, how can we not? We have progressive statutes providing legal remedies for many of the problems experienced by people who responded to our survey — for example, landlord-tenant disputes, domestic violence, and consumer fraud.

A REASSESSMENT OF MANDATORY STATE BAR MEMBERSHIP IN LIGHT OF LEVINE V. HEFFERNAN I. INTRODUCTION Legal and political divisiveness has been the hallmark of the integrated bar' since its initial appearance over a half-century ago.2 Integrated bar states3 have frequently encountered opposing viewpoints from lawyers who have objected to the constitutionality of compulsory membership in an as- sociation. In no place has this debate been more vigorous than in Wiscon- sin. In fact, shortly after Wisconsin established its own integrated bar,4 furor by attorneys over compelled financial support of the bar resulted in a lawsuit which challenged its constitutional validity. In Lathrop v. Dono- hue,5 the United States Supreme Court held in a plurality opinion,6 that 1. The phrase "integrated bar" has been used synonymously with terms such as "unified bar," "mandatory bar," or simply "state bar." Two characteristics are germane to every inte- grated bar association: First, dues-paying membership is a precondition to practicing law in a state that has such a bar; and second, the bar is created by court rule or by legislation.

  • Blowing – Pending First Amendment Challenges to Mandatory Bar Association Membership and Attorney Professional Licensing Fees by Mark Johnson © 2019
    The Winds of Change are Definitely (Probably, Possibly) Blowing – Pending First Amendment Challenges to Mandatory Bar Association Membership and Attorney Professional Licensing Fees By Mark Johnson © 2019 Abstract and Issues Given the important role that lawyers play in our democracy’s justice system, the practice of law is by necessity a highly regulated profession. States have an imperative interest in ensuring high quality legal services by admitting, and permitting, to practice law only those who have demonstrated, and who maintain, competence and commitment sufficient to comply with both our representational responsibilities and our professional ethical prescriptions. Over thirty states, including Washington, require lawyers to be members of the state’s bar association as a condition of practicing law. These “mandatory” bar associations require lawyers to pay an annual professional licensing fee to fund both core regulatory functions, such as admissions and discipline, and discretionary programs found by the regulatory authority to be reasonably or necessarily incurred for the purpose of regulating the legal profession or improving the quality of legal services. To the extent that there had been tension between mandatory bar membership and the constitutionally protected rights of free speech and association, which include the rights not to associate and not to be forced to speak through the compelled funding of activities perceived by some to be ideologically motivated, the issue, until recently, was thought to have been resolved. This article addresses recent First Amendment constitutional challenges to the requirement that lawyers pay professional licensing fees to bar associations for activities which they contend constitute ideological and political activities and challenges to the requirement of compulsory bar association membership as a condition of practicing law.
