  • The Ethics Resistance
    The Ethics Resistance BRIAN SHEPPARD* ABSTRACT Legal ethics complaints have been ®led against several of the high-ranking lawyers in the Trump Administration, often in their home states. While individ- ual complaints have caught the public eye, the collective movement to use legal ethics to resist Trumpism has escaped attention. This is not altogether surpris- ing: legal ethics rules have not historically been an attractive tool for political change. Perhaps, desperate times have called for desperate measures. This ªEthics Resistanceº will face signi®cant opposing forces. Legal ethics complaints seldom result in punishment. Further, the agencies that are asked to investigate these high-pro®le and controversial matters will not be eager to leave their comfort zones; they are accustomed to complaints from clients who are unhappy with their lawyers over straightforward matters like unreturned phone calls or high fees. There will also be loud dissenting voices from those who will see the movement as the weaponization of a tool designed for the mod- est task of lawyer self-governance. Finally, the complaints will have to navigate between powerful constitutional protections regarding lawyer speech and fed- eral power. But we should not dismiss this movement simply because it is unusual or challenging. The wisdom of the Ethics Resistance can only be judged after we understand its distinctive qualities and consider how they further or hinder our legal, institutional, and pragmatic interests. In this Article, I undertake that analysis and conclude that the movement has the capacity to be legally permissible, institutionally sound, and prudent. I fur- ther offer a list of best practices for future complaints.

  • How Mass Media Construct and Constrict Public Interest Litigation
    Framing the Food Fights: How Mass Media Construct and Constrict Public Interest Litigation Michael McCann University of Washington and William Haltom University of Puget Sound Framing the Food Fights: How Mass Media Matter for Public Interest Litigation 1 Introduction 1 A distinctive consumer-oriented reform politics, sometimes labeled “public interest liberalism,” emerged in the United States during the 1960s (McCann 1986; Vogel 1978; Rabin 1976). The hallmarks of this political campaign included: first, a traditional progressive commitment to enhancing ordinary citizen capacity to render accountable powerful corporate producers for their often harmful practices; second, new substantive goals of increasing the safety and health of manufactured products, workplaces, and the social and natural environments that affect, however differently, most citizens in our nation, and; third, a distinctive investment in litigation or, more broadly, “legal mobilization” politics as a key element of the reform strategy This vision of legal mobilization politics has drawn on traditional progressive reform movements but taken its specific strategic cues from the civil rights movement in the post-WWII era. The early success of Ralph Nader during the 1960s in appropriating such tactics for middle class consumer and environmental issues and the proliferation of idealistic young public interest lawyers in the 1970s further nurtured faith in this type of reform politics. Especially appealing for many activists in this legacy has been the capacity of litigation to focus political efforts on discrete corporate culprits and policy issues without being coopted by either centrist political parties or hierarchical, unresponsive, bureaucratic institutions of the state. In short, this legalistic public interest politics has expressed a distinctive new form of American middle class liberal progressivism committed to mobilizing “judicialized’ government for the advancement of public safety, health, and welfare (see McCann 1986; Vogel 1981).

ABSTRACT This paper will examine the recent legal action surrounding one of America’s major public health problems; obesity. The discussion begins with a quick presentation of information regarding our nation’s obesity epidemic. The discussion will then turn to the recent obesity litigation and proposed legislation. The paper will analyze the strength and shortcomings of the Pelman plaintiffs’ arguments against the McDonald’s Corporation. Further, the paper will analyze the court’s responses to these arguments in an attempt to hypothesize on future litigation. The paper will then turn its focus to proposed bill H.R. 339, The Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act,” which prohibits obesity lawsuits against members of the food industry. The discussion will analyze the political arguments surrounding obesity and obesity lawsuits.

  • Is Ronald Mcdonald the Next Joe Camel? Regulating Fast Food Advertisements That Target Children in Light of the American Overweight and Obesity Epidemic
    Is Ronald McDonald the Next Joe Camel? Regulating Fast Food Advertisements That Target Children in Light of the American Overweight and Obesity Epidemic † LEE J. MUNGER I. INTRODUCTION In 1995, the battle against tobacco industries reached a new frontier. After countless failed lawsuits, public skepticism, and decades of tobacco industry internal exposure, attorney generals from various states attempted to certify a nationwide class action against the five largest tobacco companies based on the “novel” theory first acknowledged in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc.1 that toBacco was an addictive drug. In this proposed class action,2 instead of seeking damages attributable to smoking-related illnesses, the plaintiffs sought compensation for economic losses due to the injury of nicotine addiction, including emotional distress and funds expended in efforts to stop smoking.3 This mass torts case was anticipated to Be one of the largest class actions attempted in federal court and was well on its way to taming the tobacco beast. † Lee Munger received her Bachelor of Science in 1999 from the University of Connecticut. She is a Juris Doctor-Masters of Social Work candidate at the University of Connecticut School of Law and University of Connecticut School of Social Work, 2005. She would like to thank Professor Mark Dubois for his guidance and suggestions on prior drafts. Finally, she dedicates this Comment to Gabriel Sauerhoff for his endless love and support for my decision to obtain a Juris Doctor and a Masters in Social Work. 1 893 F.2d 541, 563 n.19 (3d Cir. 1990) (stating that if a plaintiff can show that he or she became addicted to nicotine as a result of smoking, then a jury can consider the effects of cigarettes smoked after addiction when determining whether a tobacco company’s “conduct proximately caused [a plaintiff’s] lung cancer”).
