The Functions Of A Trial Committee Under The State Bar Act, De Wolfe Emory
The Functions Of A Trial Committee Under The State Bar Act, De Wolfe Emory
Washington Law Review
I have been asked to talk today upon the functions of Trial Committees as they exist under the State Bar Act. The act, as you know, was enacted in 1933 and created a body corporate therein designated as "an agency of the state" to be known as the Washington State Bar Association, vesting in it the right to sue and be sued, hold property and to do those other things which are ordinarily incidental to the existence of a corporate entity.

We are judged as a whole by the acts of a very small minority, and what do we …

Conduct Of The State Bar Examinations, S. H. Kelleran
Washington Law Review
The State Bar Act, adopted in 1933, vests in the Board of Governors the power to adopt rules, subject to the approval of the Supreme Court, fixing the qualifications, requirements and procedure for admission to the practice of law, and vests in it also the power to appoint boards or committees to examine applicants for admission. Under the authority of that act, the Board of Governors has adopted such rules, which have been duly approved. Except as they provide for admission in Washington upon a showing of admission and practice in another state, these rules require an examination, under direction …
