Three Local Bars' Reform Efforts ........... 96 * This is a revision of a paper presented at Georgetown's Law Day, April 7, 1984, and commented on by a panel composed of my colleague Professor Paul Dean; Professor Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr. of Yale Law School; Honorable Harry W. Low, Presiding Justice, California Court of Appeals (San Francisco), and Anthony R. Palermo, Esq. of Rochester, Past President, New York State Bar Association. Their comments and their support in the paper's preparation were invaluable. Of course only I am responsible for the limitations that remain. Rather than gathering more data and circulating the paper further, this is published now, not as an expose or the definitive empirical study, nor even as a final product, but in the hope of beginning a substantial dialogue on these issues. The original idea for this project and the first work done on it were by a student, Robert Friedman, in a seminar on Election and Campaign Finance Regulation several years ago. I happily acknowledge my debt to him, and my appreciation for the dedicated aid of Linda Matlack, Dina Plapler, Milton Regan and Noreen Stehlik, Class of 1985, and James Howard and LaRaye Osborne, Class of 1984, Georgetown University Law Center. ** Professor, Georgetown University Law Center.
