prenared address. but make such re-
marks as think will be proper for
persons engaged in the pursuits which
YOU are now following.
NV business has been. for the lat
five years. principally in the engage
ments of matters pertaining to law.
You may not be particularly inter-
ested in law: Won might think YOU are
not. because YOU are not studying to
be LAWYERS. but when we look around
and about us we have to come to the
conclusion that there are very few
things going on which are not more
or less regulated by law.
Law as most of Won know. is SIM
plv a rule of action prescribed by
some particular mower. prescribing
what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong Law NAV be divided into
what is known as Criminal and Civil
law. Criminal law as the word i'm
plies. NAV be considered a law that
nrohibits crime Now. crime. as we
consider Il is something debasing and
immoral A crime as we know it is
based on the moral law. We have a
great MANY statutes designating that
certain actions of human beings are
crimes that are in themselves not
criminal from the moral standpoint.
Take for instance our game and fish
laws. We all know that it is not a
crime. generally speaking. to hunt and
fish. Yet, we have laws on our sta
tute books that prohibit hunting and
fishing at certain times during the
wear. and further provide that such
nersons who violate that law will be
found guilty of crime. and their pun
ishment NAV be a fine or imprison-
ment in the CITY iail. That is a crime
because the statutes declare it to be
crime.
There are two different kinds of
crimes, if we consider them from the
moral standpoint. We all know il is
q crime to steal. to murder. to bur-
glarize. but we know that to fish and
hunt in season is not crime. To
fish and hunt is not a sin. but to steal
and murder is always a sin. That is
one kind of law we have to deal with:
the other is civil
Civil law is simplv law between in
dividuals that eoyern their action in
their dealings in their dailv walks of
life--in their dailv business. To en-
for n law Won know Won will have to
On into CONT Of Justice. Won will
have TO bring vour proceedings. The
Marty who hrinSs nroceedinos or com
nIaint ;s caIlad fba nIointifF. tho nartv
against whom the COMPLAINT is brought
is called the defendant. The civil ac-
tion is one that is brought nv one in
dividnal fo,, an INFRINGEMENT of his
Tiqhts against another who infrinqed
hat right
