“Get a move on! 'chat’s the great
modern motto,” said a New York law
yer who lain been practicing In the
local courts for the last 25 years.
"When 1 was admitted to the bar,”
he went on, "there was a great idea of
the dignity of the profession. A law
yer would about as soon have paraded
Broadway carrying a sandwich sign
calling attention to Ids legal ahibu as
he would have thought of bustling .n
any other way for business. The tiling
to do was to rent an office and sit i:i It
until somebody came and dug you out
of the dust and spider web* and asked
you to take a case.
"The march of progress has changed
nil thaf. Every law firm in this city
hustles for business. I don t mean
that the big men of the lirui chase
around, after clienta. Of course they
don't. But the firm does a lot of
shrewd planning ahead. It schemes in
n particular fashion of its own to widen
its sphere of usefulness—to itself.
"Of late years one of the expedients
adopted has been the taking into the
firm ol’ young college graduates who
can give a reasonable guarantee that
they will bring business. College men
know of litis custom, anil many of
them shape their life at the university
accordingly. They are after friends.
They want to be popular. They want
to he able to 'swing' as much of the
future legal business of their fellow
graduates as they can.
