Book excerpt: Discusses the contingency fee arrangement, under which a person who believes he or she has a legal claim, can obtain legal representation without being charged a fee unless he or she wins a recovery. If the person does recover, then his or her attorney takes a percentage of the recovery as a fee for legal services. It is useful to explore whether the system is working as well as it should for injured consumers and other victims of civil wrongs. Statements by William Fry, exec. dir., Helping to Abolish Legal Tyranny; Herbert M. Kritzer, prof. of law and pol. science, Univ. of Wisconsin; and Richard Vuernick, legal policy director, Citizen Action.
Book Synopsis Contingent Fees for Legal Services by : F.B. MacKinnon
Download or read book Contingent Fees for Legal Services written by F.B. MacKinnon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of contingent fees - taking a percentage share of the money recovered for damage or injury - began among lawyers as a method of providing legal services for those unable to afford counsel. It is now the dominant method of financing litigation for both rich and poor. F. B. MacKinnon, in this book, examines the ethical and economic questions within the legal profession or ethical theory in general."Contingent Fees for Legal Services" is a thoroughly documented study undertaken by the American Bar Foundation, the research affiliate of the American Bar Association. It provides the information necessary for evaluating the present status of this controversial practice and the proposals for its change. Arguments about contingent fees center around possible abuses in litigation, extreme competition for cases, increased emphasis upon winning cases, and other ethical considerations. This book describes fully the historical, professional and economic context within which contingent fees developed, without attempting to resolve the debates. In addition, the MacKinnon offers in one volume relevant court decisions, statutes and administrative regulations, estimates the proportion of cases presented under contingent fee contracts, and describes fee schedules and practices.As it permits an objective assessment of the fairness of contingent fees both to clients and to lawyers, this book will therefore interest everyone concerned with reforms of the fee system - lawyers and judges, professors and students, plaintiffs and defendants, as well as policymakers. This is an issue that continues to irritate and confound all concerned with the costs as well as rights of the legal profession and its clients.

Book Synopsis Contingency Management in Substance Abuse Treatment by : Stephen T. Higgins
Download or read book Contingency Management in Substance Abuse Treatment written by Stephen T. Higgins and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timely and authoritative, this volume brings together leading clinical researchers to describe contemporary applications of contingency management principles across a wide range of substance use disorders and patient populations. Contingency management uses a system of incentives and disincentives to motivate patients to meet their treatment goals, and has been implemented successfully in community treatment clinics, drug courts, and other settings. Featuring illustrative case material, the book presents a cogent empirical rationale and practical strategies for targeting major drugs of abuse and working with specific populations, including adolescents, pregnant women, and dually diagnosed and homeless individuals. Also addressed are the nuts and bolts of developing and funding contingency management programs.
Book Synopsis Contingency Management for Substance Abuse Treatment by : Nancy M. Petry
Download or read book Contingency Management for Substance Abuse Treatment written by Nancy M. Petry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isn’t it unethical to pay people to do what they should be doing anyway? Won’t patients just sell the reinforcers and buy drugs? Others didn’t get prizes for not using. Why should they? The concerns surrounding Contingency Management (CM) are many and reflect how poorly understood and rarely utilized this evidence-based treatment model is in practice settings. Despite being identified as the most efficacious intervention for substance use disorders, a significant gap persists between research and practice, at the client’s expense. Nancy Petry, an experienced researcher and consultant for organizations such as the National Institute of Health, has begun to fill this gap by authoring the first clinician-oriented text that focuses on CM protocol development and implementation. In this well-organized and clear book she provides a foundation for understanding CM and details how to design and implement a program that can work for any clinician, whether he or she works for a well-funded program or not. She also addresses realistic concerns such as: How to describe CM to eligible and ineligible patients How to calculate the costs of CM interventions How to solicit donations and raise funds to support CM interventions How to stock a prize cabinet and keep track of prizes Over 50 charts, worksheets, and tables are provided to help the clinician pinpoint exactly which behaviors to target, brainstorm how to reinforce change, and develop a treatment plan that incorporates cost, length of treatment, and method for determining patient compliance. Included with the book is a CD-ROM of editable logs, forms, tables, and worksheets for personal use. More than just filling a void, Dr. Petry provides all of the tools clinicians require to successfully apply a novel treatment in practice.
Book Synopsis Contingent Fees for Personal Injury Litigation by : Patricia Munch Danzon
Download or read book Contingent Fees for Personal Injury Litigation written by Patricia Munch Danzon and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plaintiff attorneys on personal injury cases are typically paid a contingent fee. Contingent fees are widely believed to induce excessive litigation and are increasingly regulated. A theoretical analysis of contingent and hourly wage contracts shows that, with competition for cases, attorneys paid a contingent fee will devote the amount of effort that would be chosen by fully informed, risk-neutral plaintiffs paying by the hour: the net value of the claim to the plaintiff will be maximized. However, risk-averse plaintiffs will underinvest in the number of suits and amount spent per case, if attorneys must be paid by the hour. Estimates of the effects of limits on contingent fees are presented. If the benchmark of the optimum expenditure on litigation is that which would be chosen by fully informed, risk-neutral plaintiffs, the unconstrained contingent fee is likely to induce the closest approximation to this ideal.

Book Synopsis Collective Actions in Europe by : Csongor István Nagy
Download or read book Collective Actions in Europe written by Csongor István Nagy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers an analytical presentation of how Europe has created its own version of collective actions. In the last three decades, Europe has seen a remarkable proliferation of collective action legislation, making class actions the most successful export product of the American legal scholarship. While its spread has been surrounded by distrust and suspiciousness, today more than half of the EU Member States have introduced collective actions for damages and from those who did, more than half chose, to some extent, the opt-out system.This book demonstrates why collective actions have been felt needed from the perspective of access to justice and effectiveness of law, the European debate and the deep layers of the European reaction and resistance, revealing how the Copernican turn of class actions questions the fundamentals of the European thinking about market and public interest. Using a transsystemic presentation of the European national models, it analyzes the way collective actions were accommodated with the European regulatory environment, the novel and peculiar regulatory questions they had to address and how and why they work differently on this side of the Atlantic.
