  • Policing the Self-Help Legal Market: Consumer Protection Or Protection of the Legal Cartel?
    POLICING THE SELF-HELP LEGAL MARKET: CONSUMER PROTECTION OR PROTECTION OF THE LEGAL CARTEL? JULEE C. FISCHER* INTRODUCTION The emergence of information technology in the legal field is spearheading new approaches to the practice of law, but the legal community is questioning whether the new technology may be a double-edged sword. The Information Revolution is reshaping traditional lawyer functions, forcing innovations in everything from research and document management to marketing and client communications. Yet, just as technology drives change inside law firms, consumers too are seizing the knowledge that is increasingly at their fingertips. The market is flourishing for self-help legal counsel. An increasing array of Internet Web sites often dispense legal advice and information free of charge. This advice ranges from estate planning and contract issues to custody battles and torts. Further, the legal industry is witness to the advent of do-it-yourself legal software packages marketed directly to consumers. Innovative? Yes. Easier? Certainly. But to what extent is this a blessing or a curse, both to lawyers and consumers?1 Self-help law can be defined as “any activity by a person in pursuit of a legal goal or the completion of a legal task that [does not] involve legal advice or representation by a lawyer.”2 Consumers participating in the self-help market are typically driven by factors such as relative cost, self-reliance, necessity, and distrust of lawyers.3 Clearly, such products offer the public up-front benefits of convenience and availability. Nevertheless, larger issues arise concerning who is responsible for the advice and whether it is dispensed by lawyers.

  • History of the Arkansas Supreme Court Library
    The Supreme Court Library -- A Source of Pride By JACQUELINE S. WRIGHT Librarian Reprinted from 47 Arkansas Historical Quarterly 136 (Summer 1988) with permission of the Arkansas Historical Association. THE ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT LIBRARY, founded by act of the general assembly in 1851, is the oldest library in the state of Arkansas that is still operating. It serves judges, lawyers and laypersons who research in the very same books that were acquired over one hundred years ago. That is not to say that the library has not developed and grown - it has. New books are added every day, as well as new formats for information, such as microforms and computers. But the nucleus of the collection that was acquired in the last century is still here. State reports, session laws, seventeenth and eighteenth century treatises authored by Sir Edward Coke and Sir William Blackstone and their contemporaries are useful today because they contain solutions to problems that are based on logic and equity. It is difficult to imagine any controversy that might surround such a useful institution. However, some peculiar language in the legislation indicates that there was disagreement about something to do with the library. But the newspapers published in the 1850s hardly mention either its need or its founding. History books mention its founding but cast no light on the circumstances surrounding this event. The search for information about these circumstances was interesting. It required several forays into the files of the Arkansas History Commission, the Special Arkansas Collection at the Library of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the Old State House Library and Archives.

MARQUETTE LAW REVIEW Volume 98 Summer 2015 Number 4 NOT YOUR MOTHER’S WILL: GENDER, LANGUAGE, AND WILLS KAREN J. SNEDDON* “Boys will be boys, but girls must be young ladies” is an echoing patriarchal refrain from the past. Formal equality has not produced equality in all areas, as demonstrated by the continuing wage gap. Gender bias lingers and can be identified in language. This Article focuses on Wills, one of the oldest forms of legal documents, to explore the intersection of gender and language. With conceptual antecedents in pre-history, written Wills found in Ancient Egyptian tombs embody the core characteristics of modern Wills. The past endows the drafting and implementation of Wills with a wealth of traditions and experiences. The past, however, also entombs patriarchal notions inappropriate in Wills of today. This Article explores the language of the Will to parse the historical choices that remain relevant choices for today and the vestiges of a patriarchal past that should be avoided.

  • The Anatomy of a Legal Opinion by Herrick K. Lidstone, Jr.1 Burns, Figa & Will, P.C
    The Anatomy of a Legal Opinion by Herrick K. Lidstone, Jr.1 Burns, Figa & Will, P.C. Greenwood Village, CO (rev. May 15, 2013) Introduction At some point during their years of practice, most corporate or transactional lawyers will be asked to work on a legal opinion for the closing of a deal in progress in their law firm or legal department. Their assignment is to prepare the first draft of a closing opinion letter, which will be reviewed and revised by a partner or other more experienced lawyers, perhaps including a formal opinion committee. The letter is to be addressed and delivered to the other side at the closing – and is therefore called a “third-party” opinion letter.2 Lawyers tend to have one of two basic reactions upon receipt of an opinion drafting assignment. Some view it as merely a rote exercise, requiring nothing more than marking up an old officer’s certificate and a recent opinion letter their firm has delivered. Others cringe a little when they get this assignment. Clearly, third-party opinion letters are legal oddities – giving legal advice to one’s opponents is not normal behavior. It runs against the grain. Furthermore, many lawyers don’t know where to begin because opinions are in an arcane niche category cloaked in lore and protocol and the source materials are not readily available. Perhaps most distressing, the opinion assignment is often made at the 11th hour and may call for specialized due diligence and legal research, but not allow sufficient time to do it. Finally, opinion letters evoke vague but ominous concerns about professional liability exposure to claims by an indeterminate number of “people out there” who may receive the letter and claim reliance.

  • SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE with the WILLS ACT John H
    VOLUME 88 JANUARY 1975 NUMBER 3 HARVARD LAW REVIEW SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE WILLS ACT John H. Langbein* Courts have long required literal compliance with the Wills Act formalities, automatically invalidating defectively executed wills. in this Article Professor Langbein argues for a functional rule of sub- stantial compliance that would treat some such defects as harmless to the purposes of the Wills Act. He contrasts the functional analysis that excuses the principal will substitutes fron compliance with Wills Act formalities, and he points to factors that make it likely that the substantial compliance doctrine would fit smoothly into existing practice without materially increasingthe levels of probate litigation. T HE law of wills is notorious for its harsh and relentless formalism. The Wills Act prescribes a particular set of formalities for executing one's testament. The most minute de- fect in formal compliance is held to void the will, no matter how abundant the evidence that the defect was inconsequential. Pro- bate courts do not speak of harmless error in the execution of wills. To be sure, there is considerable diversity and contradiction in the cases interpreting what acts constitute compliance with what formalities. But once a formal defect is found, Anglo-American courts have been unanimous in concluding that the attempted will fails. This Article contends that the insistent formalism of the law of wills is mistaken and needless. The thesis, stimulated in part by relatively recent developments that have lessened the authority of the Wills Act, is that the familiar concept of substantial com- pliance should now be applied to the Wills Act.
