should be equivalent to release without any formal

These men were convicted by juries who lis

They were tried and convicted in communities

widows and orphans or fathers and mothers of the
victims were there, their sense of sorrow and loss
keen with their immediate sense of outrage

UNFAIRNESS

Every now and then you read of lawyer
being disbarred. And you never quite feel sorry
for him. for he is paying the penalty of unfair, or
unprofessional conduct.
That is outstanding good thing about the bar
the disbarment proceeding Is protection both to
the profession and the general public.
Isn't 1t shame there isn't some manner in
which the same treatment can be applied to all
businesses?
