Public criticism has recently been
directed at criminal lawyers who
are blamed for much of our present
day crime.
in our opinion lawyers may not be
wholly responsible for the break
down of the enforcement system,
but they are mainly to blame for the
continuance of the breakdown.

United States Supreme Court charac

scandal. Naturally, the people look

courtrooms. All the law making and
law enforcement machinery is run
by members of the legal profession.
For its failure, they should be held
accountable.
It is only recently that bar as
sociations have begun to talk seri
ously about doing something to im
prove and strengthen criminal law
enforcement. Now that they have ar
rived at the talking stage, the era
of action may not be far distant. As
amaze has becn observed recently by one
of the p rominent lawyers. "The bar j
cannot much longer evade its real
;ponsibilitics to the public: othcr-
se, the public may see to it that
they have no further responsibilities
either to evade or to reform.”
Donald R. Richberg. President
Roosevelt’s No. 1 man and himself
lawyer, was quoted by the Literary
Digest recently as saying: “The mod-
practice of law. which calls
principally for mental ingenuity to
help a client do anything he wants
to do. seemed to me intellectually
of the most degrading occupa
tions in the category of respectable
employments. I began to believe
that the superlawyer should have
the brains of a Machiavelli, the hide
of a walrus, and no moral convic
tions. We talk a lot about cutting
down our governmental expensesl
but nothing is done to free our
courts from useless litigation, or, if
anything is attempted, the lawyers
band together and declare we are
endeavoring to deprive the people
of their liberties.”
Tho most caustic critics of the
bar’s failure to reform legal ethics
and court procedure are members
of the bar itself.—Plain Dealer,
Easton, Pa.
