The Legal Profession as a
Patriotic Function of So

WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DIR. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

in the long run more justice wiz
come out Of the courts by the
strictest observance of technical
ties; that jurisprudence is a sys-
tematic science; that the only wav
to maintain the dignity of the iu-
dietary is to abide the fortunes OF
It's formal logic, although in in
dividuaI cases justice may often
suffer.
1 suppose that means that justice
will suffer in a good cause, and that
the great technical legal system is
worthy Of all Of her sacrifices.
which is to say. that the Law IS The
more important matter and Justice
only one of its byproducts.
I wish I could be convinced. IN
the tune of the ribald chant Of tn,
Ten club
ut may be 50, do not know.
But it sounds just like a lie.o
These questions are often dis
cussed in private circles Of able
jurists and leaders at the bar. The
reform Of legal procedure, rules OF
practice, and presidents, exceptions
and errors, is regarded among them
as something to be greatly desired.
The bar association keeps the sub
Ject always suspended as a sort Of
academic punch bag at the annual
talkfest. But nothing comes Of it.
Some strangely powerful infiuenca
seems to restrain practical Iegisa-
tive attention 10 the matter.
The Guardian of Justice.
The legal profession upon the
whole IS q patriotic function Of So
ciety. There is p great tradition to
that effect. But familiarity with
the court room does not impress the
laymen that the individual lawyer
Keeps Justice and social equity dis
tinctly and mainly in view. How
often do we see the able advocate
wearing laurels won at the expense
of justice. He is srtful in address,
consummate in appeal, sweeping
the gamut OF ignorance, prejudice
and passion, and exhaustins every
resource Of his personal, private.

but the people are asking whether
justice ought to be a game and
whether the rules Of the court
house ought to be made to exhibit
the rules and skill of the players.
In England the court IS invested
with the corporate social con-
science. The Judge injects himself
as the guardian of justice. actively

be a nobly intelligent way Of
changing the subject.

.'Taint no fair in law; he had the
mostest money"
4 Hopeful Confession.
The president Of Brown univer-
sity voices the intelligence Of the
upper strata. He said in his Van
derbilt lectures that society Is suf-
fering at the present time q. most
serious injury because the study
and maintenance of law is now
considered something quite distinct
among lawyers from the study and
maintenance OF justice.
Between these two voices one
of the justices of the New York
court Of appeals represents hope
full confession and criticism. from
within the ranks Of the legal pro-
fession. In recent address he
declared that the courts must re-
form themselves or the people
would take the matter into their
own hands. revise the constitution
and establish new courts that
would do rough justice. He pro
tested against long and harsh SEN
fences for the poor and unfortu-
nate miscreant, while influential
nalefactors get off with inadequate
punishment for more serious
wrongdoing.
The position Of the modern Judge
is jeopardized by public dissatis-
faction with the high wrought le-
galism in which he IS a victim. We
used to hear Of courts Of justice,
now we hear only of courts OF law.
The country court house Of my
boyhood was adorned with the
symbolic figure of the Goddess Of
Justice blindfolded. holding evenly
balanced scales in her hand. That
symbolism no longer suits the
shrewd logomachy Of advocates
and the re-reined regeneration Of
judges.
Layman Is Not Impressed.
The original judge was an ar
bitter of natural rights; now he IS
q divider of localities. He once
umpired between the rights and
wrongs of things, but now he ls a
skillful machinist. He works the
lever of a judicial machine accord
ing to rules of law. He was once
repository Of discriminating eth
ical judgments, but now he be-
comes the expert OF technical sys-
tenn for the detection of subtle err
rors of practice. He does not look
into the face OF things as they
ought to be, but as they may be
permitted to be through the tor
tuous process of precedents. He
traverses his labyrinthine maze of
fifty-year-old opinions to decide
the latest appeal in equity.
I am well warned that a Iayman
is ignorant of such matters.
\ good judge protests to me that
