- Title
III. AN OFFICIAL TRIAL BAR.
- Authors
Adelman, Abram E.
- Abstract
The article presents information about official trial bar. The law is considered one of the learned professions. The practice of a learned profession requires not only learning, but the uncompromising ideal of the scientific investigator in the service of the truth. Now, lawyers are not to be blamed for seeking personal success, according to prevailing standards; however, such activity may differ from their professions of their aims. The more one pictures this system of a public paid trial bar the more natural does it appear to be. To the objection readily suggested at this point by frequent discoveries of corruption in the public service today, that the bureaus in charge of this classification of the trial bar, and the assignment of cases to its members would be administered corruptly, the answer is that there is not a whit of reason to believe that the departments of the bureau would be subject to any more corruption than any other department of the public service now existing. The least that may be said for these departments is that they would be no better or worse than existing bureaus or civil service bodies.
