eral. knowledge of this branch
of the law, commonly known as
legal ethics, has long been recog-
nized as the most important
qualification for one who is to be
intrusted with the sacred duties
OF an attorney at law, and our
present statue recognizes this
fact, and makes legal ethics one
of the branches to be considered
in passing upon the qualifications
of one seeking admission to prac-
tice. Section 686, Pol. Code.
This court has by its judgment
held that the appellant has violat-
ed many of the ethical laws
which should control the conduct
of an attorney. We took no
part in said judgment, but we
are bound to take judicial notice
of it, especially as it is referred
to in the record in this case. We
must as a matter of law, and we
do presume that the decision of
the court in the disbarment pro-
ceedings was just, and that ev-
erything stated therein was JUS
titled by the evidence. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that prior to
such decision this appellant had
done many things which showed
either gross ignorance of, or
willful disregard of, the laws of
legal ethics. When this fact has
been judicially determined, as in
this case, against this appellant,
he will not be heard to claim
that he knew his duties and the
ethical rules which should have
controlled his actions, and inten-
tionally disregarded the same,
but the law in it's kindness will
conclusively presume that he
performed those acts which
caused his disbarment in ignor-
ance of his duties and of the
rules of ethics. and will there
fore say that no matter how we'll
versed he may be in the many
branches of the law, yet being
ignorant in its most important
branch, he is not learned in the
law"

With this judicial declaration
in favor of legal ethics as the
most important branch of the
law, why is it that so many law
schools fail to give it any sufici-
ent attention and thus send out
students, who, no matter how
much informed on subjects of
substantive law cannot be said
to be learned in the law unless
they are fully acquainted with
these rules.

is it true with the lawyer who
tramples under foot the ethics of
his profession. In an interest
ing opinion handed down by the
Supreme Court of South Dakota
in Danforth v. Egan 119 N. w.
1921, the right of disbarred at
torney to take office as states
attorney is considered. Defend
ant Egan received a majority of
the votes cast for states attor-
ney in his county, and was given
a certificate of election. He
had formerly been a licensed
attorney in the state, but was
disbarred from practicing therein
shortly before his election. It
was practically admitted that
the judgment of disbarment
would prevent his appearance in
the courts of record in the state,
but it was claimed that this duty
might be performed by a deputy.
The court held, however, that
defendant could not be allowed
to dictate and oversee this i'm
portant part of the work of his
office while prohibited from per-
forming it in person. 1t was
also alleged that under the Con-
stitution the only qualification
imposed was that the states at
torney should be learned in
the law" and consequently need
not be an attorney at all. But
the court said that the use of the
word attorney" in the title of
the Office, states attorney"
definitely indicated that the office
should only be filled by one reg
ularly admitted to practice in the
courts.
All of the grounds mentioned
would seem sufficient to have con-
clusively determined the case, adj
versely to the defendant. But the
court goes further to discuss an
other qualification for one hold
ing the office of prosecuting at
torney. The statute provides
that he must be learned in the
law" What does the use of this
high-sounding phrase, so often
employed by attorneys, convey
to the minds of even professional
men? The court, in the princi-
pal case, furnishes an interest
ing argument on the meaning of
this qualification.
The court said: tits the con-
tention of the appellant that be-
ing learned in law, he meets the
requirement of the constitution,
and is entitled to hold the office
in question. We have already
shown that this phrase learned in
the law is really mere surplusage
as it is controlled by the more
limited term attorney, yet we
will consider briefly this phrase,
and see whether the appellant
could bring himself hereunder
in view of the judgment of this
court in the disbarment proceed
ings. To be learned in the law
one certainly must be learned in
all those branches of the law
which have at all times been rec
ognized as essential in order to
qualify one to practice as an at
torney, and to be admitted as
such. Hemust notonly be versed
in the books of law, such as those

HIS dDlllIy SlIllIlSS HILL OCH-
Law Journal.
The subject of judicial gowns
has been under discussion con-
siderably lately on account of the
new law requiring judges of the
supreme and superior courts to
wear gowns. The law goes into
effect in June. The concensus
of opinion seems to approve the
idea of the supreme court judges
wearing robes, but there is much
difference of opinion as to the
wisdom of the law as applied to
superior court judges. The
judges themselves seem divided
on the question. Judge Black of
Snohomish county and Judge
Frater Of Seattle are much op-
posed to wearing gowns. The
former expressed an intention
not to do so; the latter probably
will. Others dislike the idea, but
will wear the gown because the
law says so.
The judges of the U. S. Su-
preme Court wear gowns or robes
and so do the Judges of MANY of
the state supreme and appellate
courts. In some states the trial
judges wear them. 1t is com
monty regarded as uplifting
for judges of high courts to wear
robes, but there is more incon-
venience for a trial court judge
to do so. However, it is be-
lieved that it will add to the dig
uity of the courts and this is de-
sirable.
At first it will seem amusing to
see some of our superior court
judges in such costumes. If
their first appearance does not
bring forth smile, we are not
good guessers. The item of cost
is an important one to some of
the judges. The gowns cost
from $50 to $500 according to
quality of material. The new
law says nothing as to whom this
expense shall fallupon. 1t would
seem that as the law makes those
gowns a requisite that the ex-
pense thereof should fall upon
the state or counties just the
same as office stationery, books,
ETC., required by law to be used
in such offices. However, it has
been suggested, that if some of
the judges, after getting into
their gowns, would put up a tent
and charge admission to see
their first maneuvers in the gown,
their friends would gladly pay
admission fees sufficient to more
than defray all expenses of the
gowns.
Judge Yakey holding court in
Seattle recently recorded a de-
cision of considerable interest to
the medical profession. Two
doctors were arrested for prac-
ticing without a license under the
law as it was before changed by
the last legislature.
Ex-Judge Milo A. Root and At
torney E. S. Hadley appeared
as attorneys for the defendants
and demurred to the information
filed by the prosecuting attorney.
They contended that the last leg
islative act was a complete law
in itself and repealed the provis-
ions under which the prosecution
was brought. After argument
Judge Yakey uheld this conten-
ton and sustained the demurrers.
