    RELIGIOUS LAWYERING AT TWENTY Fordham Law School, New York City Thursday, September 13, 2018 - Friday, September 14, 2018 Building on the seminal work of Tom Shaffer (On Being a Christian a Lawyer, 1981), the late 1990s saw a very creative ferment in reflection on how religious values might inform legal education and the practice of law. In 1997 and 1998, lawyers, judges, law students and law professors from various religious traditions gathered at Fordham Law School for two interfaith conferences: The Relevance of Religion to a Lawyer’s Work (1997) and Rediscovering Religion in the Lives of Lawyers and Those They Represent (1998). At about the twenty year mark, we pause to gather insights from personal and institutional journeys thus far, and look toward the future. Sponsors: CORAL (Council on Religion and Law) Institute on Religion, Law & Lawyer’s Work, Fordham University School of Law Cosponsor: Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University Thursday September 13, 2018 Festschrift in honor of Howard Lesnick, Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania Law School, author of Religion in Legal Thought and Practice, Listening for God, The Moral Stake in Legal Education, and numerous other articles and essays that are foundational to the field of religious lawyering. 4:00 p.m. Afternoon Discussion: Humanizing Legal Education “...

  • Transform—Don't Just Tinker With—Legal Education
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYC\23-2\NYC203.txt unknown Seq: 1 20-MAR-17 9:15 TRANSFORM—DON’T JUST TINKER WITH—LEGAL EDUCATION GERALD P. LOPEZ´ * In this two-part article, Part I evaluates how the past decade’s “transformation” of legal education amounts so far to just so much time-honored tinkering. Over the past ten years, most schools changed very little, and the small number that changed a fair amount (overwhelmingly in the second and third years) borrowed directly from what other law schools have been doing for decades. Because we must learn all we can from these recent years (and earlier eras), Part I aspires to present in something like realistic form the institu- tional, material, and ideological forces we all encounter and too often reproduce. What makes the past decade’s near-ritualistic experience all the more regrettable is that we have available an alternative vision of legal education ready now for a full roll-out. Because this vision traces its origins, its implementation, its improvements to the best of clinical programs in the United States, cynics will doubtlessly scoff. Facing down the disparagers, Part II will sketch the radically differ- ent assumptions, methods, and aspirations that define how this vision contrasts with the at best status-quo-plus version of legal education strongly internalized and widely practiced. Part I is not at all the “set- up” to Part II, and Part II is not at all an impractical ideal offered to soften the blunt realities portrayed in Part I. The two parts stand alone and belong together, both to chasten and embolden us, at least if we’re willing.

  • The Politics of Pro Bono
    THE POLITICS OF PRO BONO * Scott L. Cummings Pro bono has undergone a profound transformation. Whereas for most of American legal history, pro bono was ad hoc and individualized, dispensed infor- mally as professional charity, within the last twenty-five years it has become centralized and streamlined, distributed through an elaborate institutional structure by private lawyers acting out of professional duty. Pro bono has thus emerged as the dominant means of dispensing free representation to poor and underserved clients, eclipsing state-sponsored legal services and other nongovernmental mechanisms in importance. This Article examines the causes, features, and consequences of pro bono’s institutionalization. It begins with an analysis of the forces behind pro bono’s institutional rise, emphasizing the role of the organized bar, federal legal services, the nonprofit sector, and big law firms. This Article then maps the contours of pro bono’s institutional architecture, analyzing the structures of organizational collaboration, mechanisms of efficiency, strategies for accountability, and processes of adaptation that define pro bono’s operational identity. It concludes by probing the systemic consequences of pro bono’s new institutional centrality, weighing the pragmatic benefits of leveraged law firm resources against the limitations imposed by the dependence on private lawyers beholden to commercial client interests. * Acting Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law.

And we moved away twice because my father was looking for work. When I was three years old, we moved to Patterson, New Jersey for a short time. And then when I was five, we moved to a small town in Pennsylvania where we lived for five years. Then we came back when I was ten, and I stayed there until I went to graduate school. Simi Kaplin: And where were your parents born? Howard Lesnick: Also New York. Simi Kaplin: What were their occupations? [0:02:00] Howard Lesnick: My father was a small businessman, I guess you'd call him. My mother didn't work until after my father died. Simi Kaplin: Was your father in a labor union?
