WENIARKS. cn a proposed BILL fOr
LORS rithf.r Ijuiveisity eligii)le to lie admit.
tcd SOLICITORS oti a Service of Tliree Years' instead of

Fine Year,

The Stat. -2cl Geo. 11. c. 23. probibiti any person from act-
ing as An Attorney or Solicitor 'in any of the Courts of Law
or Equity in England withoilt, a previous Clerkship of fire

years.

It is now p►opbsed to bring, a Bill into Parliament to ren
der any l►erson eligible azt as an Attorney or -Solicitor, who
shall hare taken, or shall take, the Degree of Bachelor of
Arts•in either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, on
serving a Clerkship of three years instead of bye years; but
leaving the period of service, in general cases the same as the
present.

It is scarcely nreceisary to observe, 'that this Bill is not to
Make a University Education necessary for Solicitors, but
merelyto confer eligibility upon those who have had the be-
nefit of suck an Education. This eligibility they can scarcely
be said to possess, while a service of five yehis (which operates
as a prohibition) is: required from them, as well as from
others.

'The effect of this measure will be to render a respectable
and important Profession accessible to men of Education,who
would be deterred by the length of service now required from'
attempting to entvr into it. And it is conceived thatit
particularly benefit the Sons of many Clergythen and others,
who put themselves to inconvenience to give their Suns a li-
beral Education.

Besides ttose who think that a liberal Education would be
both ian ornament and a substantial advantage to a Solicitor,
„ .
and with that view wish to send a Son to the University,
there are many educated at the Universities with objects, its
which, from eircnimstances or unforeseen events, theY are
disappointed, who might embrace the Prafession„ and find in
it a fit sphere fur the exercise of their abilities and -industry,
with advantage to the public and profit to themselves.
In general the Degree of A.B. is taken between the ages of
twenty-one and twenty-two. A service of three years, com-
mencing at these ages, may be borne without much inconve-
nience, and it would be rendered less irksome, from the con-
sideration, that a person cannot enter into the Church till
nearly the time at which such a Clerkship would expire ; hut
a service, which requires two years beyond the age of twenty-
four or twenty-five, makes an inroad into a period of life,
which ought not to he spent, and which few arc inclined to
spend, in preparations fur a Pi ofession. It is a season
when men expect to be actually proceeding in that business
of life for which their Education hai prepared them. Many
men, taking the Degree of A. 8., would consider the profes-
sion of a Solicitor very advantageous, and affording an appro-
priate field for the exercise of their talents, if they could miter
the Profession, without the sacrifice of time, which the Law,
as it stands at present, requires from all, without distinction
of education or age.
Perhaps the operation of the proposed measure may not he
very extensive, but, so far as it may operate, there can be no
reasonable doubt that it will be beneficial to many Members
of the Universities, and at the same time give the Profession
increased respectability. It certainly cannot be ceutended
that a University Education is absolutely necessary fur the
profession of a Soli. itor, but it can scarcely be denied, that a
person of liberal education ought to have every facility af-
fortled for availing hiniSelf of any Profession for which his
talents qualify him„ and which his particular views or con-
nections may lead him to choose ; especially at this particular
time of peace, when many fields of liOnourable employment
are no longer open to cultivation.
The measure itself may be of considerable use, and it is
di Ilia:It to-conceive that it can do harm. It•cainust deteriorate
the Profession, nor introduce men less fitted to perform its
duties. At present, Clerks to Solicitors nre generally articled
at sixteen or seveuteeu years of age, for five years. Now,
there can be no doubt that a person, with those habits of in-
dustry and application, which, from the strictness of 'the
examination at both Universities, are necessary to 'enable
him to take the Degree of A. 8., is more likely to acquire a
competent knowledge of the Profession, and to become
capable of conducting the business of a Solicitor at twenty-
four or twenty-five years of age, than a youth who, having
served a clerkship of f.ve years, commencing at sixteen or
seventeen, begins business at the early age of twenty=-one or
twenty-two.

In the period limited for the Professional Studies of those
who are designed for the Bar, the distinction between an Aca-
demical and a cominpn Education is preserved in the manner
proposed by the projected Bill. _ln general cases, before a
Law-Student can be called to the Bar, it is necessary that his
name shall have.been Five Years on the Books of one of the-
Inns-of Conti. unless he shall have ta'sen the Degree of A.M.
or B.L. of one of she Universities; in which case, three years
is sufficient. If three years, with a University Education, be
considered an adequate period to qualify for the Bar, surely
a Clership of three. years, with a similar Education, must be
sufficient for a Sulicitor.—lt is almost superfluous to advert to
tlie.difference_ between the Degrees of A. B. and A. M., as the
former• Degree is time real criterion of Academical Proficiency.
