Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates Jan 1914

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates

Articles

That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …

Dear Mrs. Wolfenden:

I thank you for your kind reassuring letter of the 12th inst. on the Raker Hetch Hetchy bill. A great majority of all the best men and women active in national affairs are coming to our help in defence of public health and recreation parks, and all signs now indicate, as far as I can read them, that the destructive Raker bill will be defeated in the Senate, but its proponents are working hard and so must we to the finish.
