Os course, all men in judicial office
are lawyers. And last, but of great
importance, is the influence of lawyers
as practicing attorneys in helping to
shape the course of judicial decisions
and to draft statutory' and constitu
tional provisions wliich vitally affect
the law.”
If this statement fairly states the
case, and there are few who will
question It, then we should exercise
great care in admitting men to the
bar. They should have broad general
education, including a knowledge of
history, economics and political
science. Few State laws today de
mand proper educational qualifica
tions for those w v ho are to practice
law. The standards are far below
those set for men who enter the pro
fession of medicine. And still the
lawyers hold our economic and
government welfare in their hands,
just as truly as the doctors hold our
physical welfare. The lawyer who is
to serve his community adequately
and with lasting personal success
must have something more than in
tensive professional training. He
must have a background of knowledge
which will enable him to attack
economic and government problems
with sound judgment.
