Professor Guthrie, gave the third annual Saltman Lecture, speaking about "Misjudging: Why Disputants Are Better Off in Consensual Processes than in Litigation". His comments, and commentators' responses, are to be published in the Nevada Law Journal's Winter 2006/2007 issue. Professor Guthrie is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law at Vanderbilt University Law School.
Professor Jennifer Brown, Quinnipiac Law School, speaks on "The Promise and Paradox of Restorative Discipline." The concept of 'restorative discipline' merges restorative justice theory with attempts to reform attorney disciplinary processes. Restorative discipline would give more attention than our current system does to the interests and needs of clients who have been harmed by attorney misconduct. Such reforms might be able to bring misbehaving lawyers back into the fold, and even help restore the public's faith in lawyers and the legal profession more generally.
