War on shyster Lawyers.


The Chicago Bar Association is try
ing to restrain the activities of tho
shyster lawyers in that city, and. ac-
eording to The Record Herald, has
cimpiled IAN amazing list of legal eva
sions and criminal practises.
A number of crooked lawyers have
been disbarred in the last year. The
Record Herald expresses the opinion
that IF the courts will hold up the
hands OF the Chicago Bar A ISOLATION
and its grievance committee, the hope
OF Kidding the city of more perni-
cious and predatory varieties of the
shyster species may perhaps be real
lied"
The bar associations everywhere
could do much for the cause of JUS
tice by keeping up a continuous fight
on the parasitic element of the profess
sion, which has no respect for law or
legal ethics. All professions have their
hangers their fakirs and their
frauds, but not many Of them are
more potential for trickery and for
actual criminality than the shyster
lawyer, Chicago has no more OF
them. population considered, than
other cities.
The courts occasionally disbar dis
reputable lawyer for some peculiarly
gagrant act Of chicanery. but where
ono such is put out of business q
dozen others who are no better, con-
time TO get by" They haunt the
court rooms, chase ambulances and
prey upon the unsophisticated ano
ignorant elements Of the community
They are unremitting in their search
FOR clients and the more ignorant the
client happens to be, the easier is the
picking for the lawyer. II the re.
qairements for admission to the ban
were more rigid there would be less
occasion for disbarments. 1t is pos
siblc that the country is suffering
from an overproduction of lawyers.
