ADVISORY BOARDS
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
Work They Are Expected to
Perform For Soldiers.

The general legal advisory board
of West Virginia has sent to all coun'
ty advisory boards summary of the
work the lawyers are expected to
perform free for soldiers or their de-
pendents during war time. This free
service relates purely to matters per
tanning to questions arising from the
war, but cover a wide range. Among
the suggestions made by the general
advisory board are the following:
Whenever thereunto requested
the selective service law should be
fully explained to drafted men. 9th
Ell war emergency laws, relating to
men entering the service, now in ex.
istence and that may hereafter be
passed by Congress, should be care
fully examined in order that you
may be prepared to render counsel
and advice in relation thereto.
In all cases where drafted men
call for the preparation of wills or
require legal services as to the care
Of their property and the settling of
their business affairs, whether before
or after entering the service, these
professional labors should be cheer
fully performed without compensa-
ton.
In all cases, where soldiers and
sailors ought to be represented in
court in order that they may obtain
the benefits of the civil rights act,
when the same becomes effective, it
will be your duty to render that pro
fessional service. The lawyers should
further attend to such business mat
ters of the drafted men as require
attention in the absence of the men.
You should further report to the
Red Gross home service section. as
far as may come to your attention,
cases requiring relief, either of sol
diers, who may return from the SER
vice, or of their families requiring
assistance. Where the Red Cross
have no home service sections you
should make adequate arrangements
by committees or otherwise, to look
after dependents of such absent sol.
diers and sailors in the service.
