NEN RULES
FOR LAWYERS
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
ADOPT REVISED ETHICS.
DUTY TO PREVENT LITIGATION
Political Considerations Should Not
Outweigh Judicial Fitness in Selec
ton Of Judges-Reports of Special
Committees Considered.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2S.-The mem,
bers of the American Bar association
continued their consideration of com.
mittee reports and heard the report
OF the special committee on the class,
ification of laws, on Indian legisla.
ton, on penal laws and prison dis
cipline, federal courts, title of real
estate, code of professional ethics, copy
right bill and proposed lawyers home
In presenting its code of ethics for
the lawyers of the American bar, the
committee told the convention in clear
and forceful language that it is the
duty of the lawyer to prevent litiga.
ton, to make peace between those in.
clined to litigation and to diligently
discourage among the laity the prev.
alent growth of disrespect for the
courts. At the same time, the report
continues, where there is proper
ground for serious complaint of jul
dicial officer it is incumbent upon the
lawyer to submit his grievances to
the proper authorities.
Under the new code it is made the
duty of lawyers to prevent political
considerations outweighing judicial
fitness in the selection of judges and
aspirants for judicial honor are di.
rected to be governed by an impartial
estimate of their ability. The prac.
tice of arguing privately with a judge
as to the merits of pending cases is
made a cause for judicial rebuke. A
