Abstract:
Wilson’s article reflected on the court case arising from the New York Times’ chronicling the injustice against civil rights workers by the Montgomery police and the false perjury charge against Martin Luther King, Jr. in the spring of 1960. To convince readers that this injustice was not an isolated incident, or one related exclusively to Jim Crow culture, Wilson included in examples of course cases filed in the decades since New York Times v Sullivan. More information about this topic can be found in Wilson’s inclusion of two books about this landmark case: Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and First Amendment and New York Times v Sullivan: Civil Rights, Libel Law, and the Free Press.

Abstract:
Critchfield’s article opened with a discussion of characteristics perhaps associated with a professionalism in many fields, such as confidence, personal integrity, and empathy. This led into his proposal of how to develop such characteristics in lawyers before their entrance into the courtroom. He suggested an orientation course before students’ first year in law school that introduces them to what it means to be a professional. Examples of themes he offered for its curriculum include fiduciary duties, advocacy, and limitations on conduct.

Abstract:
The author’s reflection on the value of research, a well-stocked law library, and helpful librarians for attorneys led to examining the coda for this state’s legal profession, General Statues of North Carolina. From there, Culver asserted its worth by discussing sample articles from its volumes. Perhaps of particular interest to today’s lawyers is an article he noted from it that contained sample study questions for North Carolina's 1919 Bar Exam.

Abstract:
Young observed that the general trend toward casual attire in the workplace has found its way in the courtroom, which led to her assertion that at least some professions should uphold the conventional dress style for their workplaces. Noting that the North Carolina Rules for Professional Conduct does not contain a dress code, the author proposed her list that consisted of rules for lawyers to follow, so that they may reflect professionalism in their attire as well as their demeanor.
