Para os advogados, em especial, a informação, tanto jurídica quanto de outras áreas do conhecimento, é um recurso imprescindível. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se em âmbito mais geral: identificar as características do comportamento informacional de advogados relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de suas atividades de trabalho. Em um contexto mais específico, objetivouse: a) verificar as fontes de informação utilizadas pelos advogados para identificar e obter informação; b) identificar as fontes de informação utilizadas pelos advogados; c) determinar os fatores positivos e negativos que influenciam o comportamento de busca de informação dos advogados. Para tanto, foi analisada uma amostra composta por 10 advogados que atuam na cidade de Marília e região, os quais totalizam, aproximadamente, 1000 profissionais. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada e os dados coletados foram analisados qualitativamente. Os resultados demonstraram que as fontes de informação mais utilizadas para identificar informação são os livros; a fonte de informação mais utilizada para obter informação é o contato com colegas de profissão (conversa informal para troca de informações) e com profissionais de outras áreas; dentre as fontes de informação disponíveis em seus escritórios, a Internet é a mais utilizada e considerada a mais importante; as fontes formais de informação (Internet e livros) são as mais utilizadas para localizar informação; a maioria sente dificuldade para localizar e ter acesso à informação, principalmente quando se depara com algum assunto inovador ou desafiador; pedir auxílio nas...

Especially for lawyers, information, both legal and from other areas of knowledge is an essential resource. In this sense, it is intended in a general scope: to identify the informational behavior characteristics of lawyers related to their daily work. In a more specific context, the goals were: a) verify the sources of information used by lawyers to identify and obtain information; b) identify the sources of information used by lawyers; c) determine the positive and negative aspects that influence the informational behavior of lawyers. For such, a sample made of 10 lawyers who work in Marília and the nearby area was analyzed, representing a total of approximately 1,000 professionals. The data collection was carried out by a semi-structured interview and the collected data were qualitatively analyzed. Results show that the most common mechanism to obtain information is the coworker contact (informal chat for information exchange), and with professionals from other areas; among the sources of information available in their offices, the Internet is the most popular and considered the most important; the formal sources of information (the Internet and books) are the most used; most of the professionals have difficulty to find and access information, mainly when they come across some innovative or challenging subject; ask for help in the activities of information seeking is a very common practice to most of them; several aspects may influence informational behavior, but the one that is positive with the greatest influence is related to people (family and office coworkers). On the other hand, the negative aspects are related to technology. It was concluded that the proposed goals... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Esta dissertação trata da atuação do advogado Eloar Guazzelli em casos políticos durante a ditadura civil-militar (1964-1979). A Justiça Militar teve papel relevante durante a ditadura, já que ao mesmo tempo enquadrava os inimigos do regime e lhe dava uma fachada legal e democrática. Por outro lado, ao manter as instituições jurídicas, permitia aos advogados um espaço de manobra, abrindo-lhes a possibilidade de vitórias e ganhos. Assim existe um paradoxo na atuação dos advogados de presos políticos: uma vez que faziam oposição ao regime, contribuíam para sua manutenção, já que davam legitimidade. A dissertação responde questões sobre os processos políticos em que Guazzelli atuou. Um dos objetivos é o de apresentar quem eram os clientes de Eloar em casos políticos durante a ditadura civil-militar. Além disso, busca-se reconstituir o cotidiano do advogado de presos políticos, mostrando as relações criadas entre advogado e cliente e advogado e Justiça Militar. São analisadas também as argumentações que Guazzelli utilizava para obter ganhos nesta corte. / This dissertation deals with the role of the lawyer Eloar Guazzelli in political affairs during the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1979). The military justice system played a significant role during the dictatorship, since both fit the enemies of the regime and gave a legal and democratic front. On the other hand, while maintaining the legal institutions, lawyers allowed a space for maneuver, and opens up the possibility of victories and earnings. So there is a paradox in the actions of lawyers of political prisoners: once opposed the scheme, contributing to its maintenance as it gave legitimacy. This work answers questions about the political processes that acted Guazzelli. One goal is to present customers who were Eloar in political affairs during the civil-military dictatorship. In addition, we seek to reconstruct the daily life of a lawyer for political prisoners, showing the relationships created between lawyer and client and lawyer and military justice. Are considered the arguments that Guazzelli used to gain in this court.

Law and psychoanalysis are disciplines that address different questions and have different purposes. However efforts have been made to find some spaces for interdisciplinarity. One of these efforts has been to use judicial proceedings as places in which individual traumas can be transformed into cultural and social traumas. This article aims to show the risks and pitfalls of this enterprise by using a real life example. The purpose is to show how law can fail on this purpose and turn itself instead into a place for revictimization. In this latter scenario the role of lawyers and their professional duties play a key role. / El derecho y el psicoanálisis son disciplinas que tienen propósitos diferentes y se formulan preguntas distintas. No obstante, son varios los esfuerzos que se han hecho y las posibilidades que existen para que ambas disciplinas puedan interactuar. Una de las formas a través de la que se ha propuesto una aproximación interdisciplinar es la idea según la cual los procedimientos judiciales pueden convertirse en escenarios para la socialización de un trauma de naturaleza individual y su consecuente tránsito hacía un trauma cultural de tipo colectivo. El presente artículo tiene como propósito advertir los riesgos de esta estrategia y demostrar, a través de un ejemplo puntual, cómo los procesos judiciales pueden fallar en este propósito y constituirse más bien en un escenario de revictimización. En este proceso de revictimización juegan un papel determinante los abogados, la concepción estándar de la ética profesional del abogado y la forma en la que esta enmarca sus deberes profesionales.

O envolvimento da advocacia nas reformas de ampliação do acesso aos sistemas de justiça tem merecido atenção da literatura comparada, que realça características de comprometimento social e engajamento político de certos movimentos de advogados e suas entidades de classe, mas também aponta para a intervenção desses profissionais na supressão das insuficiências do mercado de serviços legais. A partir de uma abordagem institucional da advocacia, que destaca as disposições constitucionais sobre a participação privilegiada da profissão na administração e funcionamento do sistema de justiça brasileiro, o objetivo do estudo é investigar como a advocacia vem se relacionando com as reformas do acesso à justiça no estado de São Paulo, durante a transição para a democracia e a consolidação democrática no Brasil. A pesquisa envolve a reconstrução do debate sobre o tema no interior da profissão, a partir de uma análise de conteúdo das publicações oficiais das entidades da advocacia. / The advocacy\'s evolvement on the reforms to enlarge the access to judicial systems has deserved attention of comparative literature, which enhances characteristics of social and political engagement of certain movements of lawyers and its professional entities, but also indicates the intervention of these professionals in the suppression of the legal services market\'s insufficiencies. Using an institutional approach of advocacy, that detaches the constitutional disposals about the privileged participation of the profession in the administration and functioning of the Brazilian judicial system, the objective of this study is investigate how advocacy has been involved in the access to justice\'s reforms in São Paulo state, during the transition to democracy and democratic consolidation in Brazil. The research involves the reconstruction of the discussion about that subject inside the profession, using acontent\'s analysis of official publications of the advocacy\'s entities.

This is a study of a ledger written by Andrea di Gherardo Casoli between the years 1387 and 1412. Andrea was a lawyer in the Tuscan city of Arezzo, shortly after the city lost its sovereignty to the expanding Florentine state. While Andrea associated his identity with his legal practice, he engaged in many other, diverse enterprises, such as wine making, livestock commerce, and agricultural management. This thesis systematically examines each major facet of Andrea's life, with a detailed assessment of his involvement in rural commerce. Andrea's actions revolved around a central theme of maintaining and expanding the fortunes, both financial and social, of the Casoli family.

Tennessee does not have a formal state-wide required mentoring program for Tennessee lawyers. Mentoring programs are available to Tennessee lawyers but no uniform standards exist. It has been suggested that providers of mentoring programs should develop strategies for improving and expanding mentoring experiences for new lawyers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate attitudes towards mentoring by Tennessee lawyers who are within their first 5 years of practice. The researcher sought to identify the perceptions of new lawyers regarding mentoring to better understand mentoring’s role within the legal profession. The methodology for this study was nonexperimental quantitative survey research. The survey instrument was an electronic questionnaire. The survey consisted of demographic questions and 17 items that were divided into 3 dimensions: Value of Mentoring, Access to Mentoring, and Structure of Mentoring. Demographic data consisted of gender, type of practice (private solo practice, small firms of 2-10 lawyers, large firms of 11 or more lawyers, government practice, or other) and years of experience (less than 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years of experience). Of the 1,433 possible participants, 287 (20.02%) responded to the survey. Nine research questions were addressed using ANOVA and independent-samples t tests. The significant finding in this study indicated female attorneys have a stronger preference for mentoring experiences and programs with greater structure (Structure of Mentoring dimension). The Value of Mentoring and Access to Mentoring dimension scores were not statistically significantly different in the demographics consisting of gender, type of practice (private solo practice, small firms of 2-10 lawyers, large firms of 11 or more lawyers, government practice, or other) or years of experience (less than 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years of experience).

Past higher education fund-raising studies examining alumni giving across several institutions have had two main limitations. First, the multitude of independent variables used in these studies has made it difficult to determine whether past studies have discovered many different factors that influence levels of alumni gift revenue, or whether they have discovered a few common factors that have been represented by different sets of variables in each study. Second, past studies have failed to adequately describe causal mechanisms through which variables significantly related to gift revenue influence levels of gift revenue. The current study addresses the aforementioned limitations in creating an aggregate model of donor behavior for law school alumni. The study examines alumni giving at 41 ABA-approved law schools. The results indicate that four basic factors account for most (87 percent) of the variance in amounts of alumni annual fund revenue among different law schools. The four factors, listed in order of importance and shown with the variables that load highly on each factor, are the following: Factor l--"Institutional Quality" (variables are average LSAT scores of accepted law students; reputation of law school among professors at other law schools; reputation of law school's graduates among judges and practicing lawyers; average starting salaries of new graduates of the law school; total number of volumes in law library; number of volumes in law library divided by FTE enrollment;). Factor 2--"Institutional Size" (variables are: FTE law school enrollment; number of living law school alumni; number of FTE law faculty; total number of law school advancement staff people). Factor 3--"Relative Advancement Effort" (variables are: number of law school advancement staff people divided by number of living law school alumni; number of law school reunion classes solicited for special gifts each year). Factor 4--"Institutional Age" (variables are: age of law school; age of law school's parent institution). Differences between the factor structures for public and private law schools are examined. The study suggests possible causal mechanisms through which these four factors influence the amount of alumni gift revenue raised by each law school.

La présente étude cherche à décrire et à comprendre les pratiques professionnelles des avocats de la défense lors des négociations des plaidoyers de culpabilité, phénomène très courant bien qu’encore trop peu connu. Nous nous sommes intéressées auxpropos de douze avocats de la défense travaillant au Palais de Justice de Montréal. Nos analyses mettent en évidence différents éléments liés à la cause, à l’accusé ou aux considérations professionnelles des avocats qui peuvent avoir une influence sur le déroulement des négociations, mais surtout, elles montrent comment ces éléments peuvent être interprétés différemment selon les avocats et les cas qu’ils défendent. De plus, le discours des avocats sur le déroulement des négociations laisse entrevoir des pratiques différentes entre eux, selon leurs niveaux d’implication (dans le dossier, dans leurs relations…). / This research paper aims to describe and understand the professional practices of criminal lawyers during plea bargaining, a well established phenomenon which is more pervasive than is commonly understood. Our study focuses on interviews of twelve criminal lawyers working at the Montréal courthouse. Our analysis emphasizes different elements related to the case, the defendant or lawyers’ professional considerations that can influence the negotiation process. We also show how those elements can be seen in a different way depending on the lawyer and the specific case they defend. Moreover, our lawyers’ interviews show that there is no uniformity in the way they handle cases, depending on their level of involvement (in the case, in their relationships…).

Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A responsabilidade civil do advogado é um tema que merece destaque sob a perspectiva civil constitucional. A abrangência dessa relação jurídica pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor e a natureza negocial multiforme da relação estabelecida entre o advogado e o cliente, cuja normativa deve ser estabecida tendo em vista o caso concreto, são pontos de destaque desse trabalho, assim como a aplicabilidade do consentimento informado. Nessa toada, pretende-se conferir o enfoque funcional a partir da releitura das classificações tradicionais da responsabilidade civil em contratual, extracontratual, subjetiva, objetiva e entre as obrigações de meio e resultado para em seguida, analisarmos das hipóteses mais frequentes de responsabilização, quais sejam: a perda de uma chance, o abuso do direito processual e a reversão de liminares revertidas ao final do processo. Por fim, dentre as tendências de prevenção e precaução de danos da responsabilidade civil, revela-se a formalização de seguros de responsabilidade profissional para advogados. / Liability of attorney is a topic that deserves attention from the perspective of the constitutional civil measure. The scope of this legal relationship by the Consumer Protection Code and the nature of multifaceted relationship between lawyer and client, whose rules must be developed further in view of the case, are highlights of this work, as well as the applicability of informed consent. In this tune, it is intended to confer the functional approach from the rereading of traditional classifications of liability in contract, tort, subjective, objective, and between the obligations of means and results to then analyze the most common assumptions of accountability, which are: the loss of a chance, the abuse of procedural law and the reversal of court orders reversed at the end of the process. Finally, among the trends of precaution and prevention of damage to civil liability, it is the formalization of professional liability insurance for lawyers.

A pesquisa busca analisar a trajetória dos advogados gaúchos Eloar Guazzelli, Werner Becker e Omar Ferri durante a ditadura civil-militar brasileira relacionando-as com a emergência da causa dos direitos humanos. Estes advogados ficaram reconhecidos pela sua atuação na defesa de presos políticos e por suas atividades como criminalistas. Devido ao seu trabalho, durante a ditadura eles surgiram no espaço público denunciando e atacando as violências e o arbítrio cometidos pelo Estado, o que fez com que eles ganhassem notoriedade na cena política, relacionando sua atuação com a causa dos direitos humanos. Este reconhecimento levou-os a iniciarem uma carreira política e candidatarem-se a cargos eletivos, o que aconteceu na eleição de 1982: Guazzelli e Ferri lançaram candidatura à deputado federal e Becker à vereador em Porto Alegre. Isto foi auxiliado pela atuação destes advogados dentro de entidades classistas, como o Instituto dos Advogados do Rio Grande do Sul (IARGS) e a seccional gaúcha da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB/RS), que, ao longo da ditadura, passaram a criticar publicamente o regime. Desta forma, o trabalho procura mostrar os diferentes meios nos quais os personagens transitaram com o intuito de reconstruir o processo no qual conquistaram seu reconhecimento como advogados e militantes de esquerda. / The research seeks to analyze the trajectory of the lawyers Eloar Guazzelli, Werner Becker and Omar Ferri during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, relating them to the emergence of the cause of human rights. These lawyers were recognized for their role in the defense of political prisoners and for their activities as criminalists. Due to their work, during the dictatorship they appeared in the public scene denouncing and attacking the violence and arbitration committed by the State, which caused them to gain notoriety in the political scene, relating their action to the cause of human rights. This recognition led them to start a political career and to stand for elected positions, which happened in the 1982 election: Guazzelli and Ferri launched candidacy for the federal deputy and Becker to the councilor in Porto Alegre. This was aided by the work of these lawyers within class entities, such as the Rio Grande do Sul Lawyers Institute (IARGS) and the Rio Grande do Sul branch of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB / RS), which, throughout the dictatorship, publicly criticize the regime. In this way, the research tries to show the different means in which the characters have transited with the intention to reconstruct the process in which they have gained their recognition as advocates and militants of the left.
