Dean Of National University

Warning prospective law students
that the right to practice law is a

Charles Pergler, dean of National

that the privilege, if abused, may be
taken away by statute or otherwise.
Speaking at the opening session of

cognizance of current attacks on

he was not discussing criticism of the

public law.
Advises Study of Criticism.
DR.. Pergler said he could not sum-
mon indignation enough to resent
criticism current in our own day."
but looked on it as a recognition of
the public Importance of the profess
sion. When criticism does arise, he
said, rather than to resent it, the
much better way is to examine its
validity or lack of validity.
Declaring the legal profession is
, one affected with public interest and
existing to meet certain public needs,
he added
"The successful practitioner has al
most invariably been one capable of
taking a statesmanlike view of the
lawyers function, and I am convinced
this will be even more so in the flu
ture; that, in fact, the higher levels
of the law as career will be beyond
the reach of those who have come
to look upon practice of it as a mere
game.
