LEGAL Custom. From Tho Church.


When one lawyer refers to another
rs brother attorney" be employs an
ancient phrase peculiar to religious
and legal fraternities and suggests The
close historical relation between the
callings. In England for two and o
half centuries after the Norman con
quest all high legal offices were filled
by churchmen. Laymen could not hope
for advancement or for clients, and in
deed the only path to the requirement
of q professional education lay through
holy orders. The fraternal form of
address common to the church passed
naturally into legal phraseology.
Brother So-and-so Of the monastic or
der was brother" also at the bar. So
strong was popular prejudice against
admitting the competency of mere lay.
men at law when this class began to
practice, about 1900, that lay barristers
adopted a black velvet skullcap or Golf
to conceal their lack OF tonsure, the
distinguishing mark of the priestly
clerk. Down to our day both the form
Of address and the peculiar headgear
have remained, although we have ceas-
ed to associate the two professions
whose early intimacy was the original
reason for their existence.-Green Bag.
