ETHICS OF LAW OF NEGLIGENCE.

Extracts Of an address by Justice Wood

Ign
The oft repcated and sneerinc reference
to that branch OF the legal profession who
gain a livelihood in the prosecution Of
negligence cases, as Ambulance chascfs, 20
has served to create a popular impress
sion that this line Of practice Is essen
tally disrcputahle. and even the courts, Il
may be feared, are not free from this
prejudice. That there have been abuses
in the administration of the law; that wit
ncsses, In the hands of INSCRIPTIONS law
yers have Been induced to falsify the
facts, and that juries have been swayed
by sympathv prejudice, or other improper
considerations, there can he no doubt; but
II may be fairly questioned II these evils
are present in n greater degree In negll-
gencc cases, when the whole number IS
compared with the number OF actions in
any other branch OF the law. than in nc,
tions upon contract, or In any OF the great
variety Of actions which engage the at
tcntion Of the courts In our complex social
organization. Our modern industrial de-
vclopment, involving vast aggregatons OF
brought with It the necessity FOR rapid
transit, and as q large percentage Of the
negligence cases IN the great clues grow
out of these conditions, there are many who
suppose that the law Of negligence Is a
blind, legislative groplng after an equiiib-
rum between the corporations and indi-
.vlduals, unctured with the dcmagogism IN
