Blawg Entries Related to Legal Ethics

Appellate Law & Practice posted here about the First Circuit's reversal of a lawyer's suspension.    . . . .    The Volokh Conspiracy's Orin Kerr wonders if lawyers are bailing out of biglaw firms, as this law.com article suggests.  Carolyn Elefant, at MyShingle, comments on the same article.  (My take: the article demonstrates that large firms are getting larger, not smaller.)    . . . .    David Velleman, at Left2Right, comments on a NYT article about lawyers supporting the efforts of the Center for Constitutional Rights in its efforts to apply the rule of law to the events at Guantanamo, and to make inquiry into abuse and torture of prisoners.    . . . .    Larry Solum, at Legal Theory Blog, links to a new article by Richard Matasar of New York Law School, arguing that the present system of legal education in the US is not sustainable.  (My suggestion: we need to consider bringing back the LLB and letting undergrads earn it in their state schools, for a much lower cost than the post-graduate JD.)    . . . .    Want to re-live studying for the bar?  OK, that was a ridiculous question.  But you can monitor one student's preparations for the California bar exam, at A Girl Walks Into A Bar (Exam).    . . . .    Marquette Professor Christine Hurt, from the Conglomerate blog, published this article about teaching torts to students who may be the victims of torts themselves.
