The Courts And Early Bar Of The Washington Territory, Arthur S. Beardsley, Donald A. Mcdonald Apr 1942

The Courts And Early Bar Of The Washington Territory, Arthur S. Beardsley, Donald A. Mcdonald

Washington Law Review

Territorial justice in Washington had its roots in the judicial system of Oregon Territory, where the need for the administration of law and order was the motivating force which initiated the formation of civil authority The adnmnstration of justice, like the civil authority, must expand as the population grows and as the territorial area becomes larger and better organized. Strong men are always needed in the administration of justice; but in the frontier settlement where law and order are often flouted with impunity, even stronger men are needed if the courts are to command the respect which is their due. …

Meet The Average Lawyer: How Many Prospective Clients Has A Lawyer Practicing In The State Of Washington?, Anon

According to the law of averages, each of 2,575 lawyers admitted to practice in the state of Washington has 607 of the state's 1,563,393 inhabitants as a potential clientele. But if he restricts his activities to a particular locality, this theoretical "average" lawyer may have anywhere from 357 to 2,012 prospective clients, for if he makes his headquarters in King County he will share 463,517 inhabitants with 1,297 other lawyers, his quota being 357, while if he chooses to practice in Mason County he will be one of five lawyers in a county of 10,060 population, 2,012 of whom are …

The membership of this committee included one attorney from each of the eight largest cities of the state.

The Functions Of A Trial Committee Under The State Bar Act, De Wolfe Emory Nov 1937

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. The members of the Association are the lawyers of this state, and the Association is governed by a Board …

We again urge all members of the Bar who are interested in curbing the unauthorized practice of the law to submit to the local committee or to the general committee all competent evidence that they might have showing any instance of unauthorized practice. We merely urge that the lawyer submitting the instances be sure that he gives us evidence or facts and not merely rumors, upon which we can at least open communication with the parties in question. If for any reason a lawyer would be embarrassed if it became known that he was making such reports, the committee gives …

Should The Bar Advertise?, William Devin Apr 1937

Should The Bar Advertise?, William Devin

Washington Law Review

The day has arrived when the legal profession, if it is to retain its rightful place in society, and preserve its very life, must inform and educate the public concerning the truth of its cause. Public opinion today is being molded by the crime headlines and comic strips of the daily press, and by the radio programs which come into the homes of the nation, no one of which truthfully depicts the services or duties of 98 per cent. of our profession. We are judged as a whole by the acts of a very small minority, and what do we …

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 …

Service Through Books, Anon Apr 1935

Service Through Books, Anon

Washington Law Review

The number and variety of law books now in use is so great that lawyers can not hope to possess relatively more than a very few. Law school libraries and bar association libraries can not afford the purchase of but a small fraction of those available for the use of the profession. The publication of new law books continues to grow from year to year. Several thousand appear each year, most of which can be made available for the use of the legal profession only through the facilities of the larger law libraries. Thus has come about the development in …

Injunctive Relief Against The Unlicensed Practice Of Law As Represented By Drafting Of Legal Instruments, Warren L. Shattuck

Washington Law Review

During the past several years, encroachments by notaries public, realtors, trust and title companies, and banks and others into fields of activity which the legal profession consider to be practice of law, and from which the Bar feel protection of the public requires exclusion of laymen, have reached such proportions as to create a problem calling for careful consideration by the American Bar Association and the various state and local bar associations. The field into which these encroachments have been most general is that of preparing legal instruments, particularly wills, trust agreements, deeds, mortgages, and contracts. To curb such activity, …


Inherent Power Of The Judiciary Over Admittance To The Bar, J. Kennard Cheadle Nov 1932

Inherent Power Of The Judiciary Over Admittance To The Bar, J. Kennard Cheadle

Washington Law Review

Admission to the bar is a matter of increasing concern to the state. As its economic life, its social life, become more intricate, the legal rules governing social conduct and their administration through courts of justice become more complicated, so that adequately trained lawyers are increasingly necessary to the competent exercise of their function as officers of the courts admnistering justice. Too, overcrowding of the bar increases the concern. As the relative number of lawyers increases, the temptation to lawyers to violate the public trust reposed in them increases, and their violations of legal ethics work generally to the detriment …


President's Address, Glenn J. Fairbrook Nov 1931

President's Address, Glenn J. Fairbrook

Washington Law Review

Presidential addresses have shown a decided trend in the last few years away from discussions of cases in which only a few were interested, and from controversial political subjects, toward themes more vitally touching our everyday life. Where a few years ago we found advocacy of a code of legal ethics and higher educational standards urged, we now take those things for granted. Our constitution still permitting the president one chance to air his views before passing into oblivion, I feel justified in following this trend, and will endeavor, therefore, to report on the stewardship of your officers for the …
