The Lawyer System


 on the breaking down of the ad mistration of justice in America, MT. Carl Snyder emphasizes the extravagent cost of the law' incl dent to an army of judges in delaying and defeating justice with iunumeral reversals. !"
 The injury to justice growing out of the granting of new trails for technical errors has for years attracted the attention, not alone of the public, but of judicial re- formers and of other public men. MT. Roosevelt and MT. Taft have directed official utterances and private addresses to the need of amending court practice so that no judgment of a trial court, in either a civil or criminal case, should be reversed except for an error which deprived the defend ant or the losing party of some substantial right.
 At least one-half the work of all our courts is in retrying or re- hearing on appeal cases which have already been tried and heard. And the ordinary trial is dragged out beyond reasonable length be- cause the trial judge is badgered by attorneys and worried by the fear that he will make some tech nical error in the mere form of procedure.
 This means not only that people seeking justice are delayed in getting their rights, but that probably twice as many judges have to be paid as would need to be paid if disputes in the courts were settled on their merits.
 And yet that cost of unnecessary judges salaries and unnecessary attendant court costs are com paratively but drop in the bucket to the infinitely greater wasteful extravaganza of the lawyer system of administering justice-or in justice.
 The system has been so devised that man cannot turn around without having a lawyer do it for him. Not only in the courts, but in nearly every intimate relation of life some form has to be gone through with which brings in an attorney-at-law at some stage of the proceedings. Yet these forms, these proceedings, are all so con- fused and uncertain that no one knows just what they are, or what the effect of them will be.
 The idea that plan and com mon sense citizen should simply go to his peoples court, his gover- nment's court, and state his case and get his rights, if he has rights that idea is so absured to the lawyer that they have a proverb: "A man who takes his own case to court has fool for a client. :" And he has, too, under our present lawyer system. For he will be tripped up at the first step by little rules of the game which the lawyers have devised, and the courts will be powerless to help him.
