Unauthorized Practice Of Law In Washington, Phillip Offenbacker
Unauthorized Practice Of Law In Washington, Phillip Offenbacker
Washington Law Review
Unauthorized practice of law is practice by one who has not been admitted to practice by the supreme court and who is not a member in good standing of the state bar association. It is now undisputed that the supreme court has sole jurisdiction over admission to practice and apparently may deal with unauthorized practice as an incident of its power over admission. However, unauthorized practice has also been the subject of legislative enactment. It follows, therefore, that the sanctions which are imposed to prevent the unauthorized practice of law in this state are of both judicial and legislative creation. …
Hidden Assets And Responsibilities, Lloyd Wright
Hidden Assets And Responsibilities, Lloyd Wright
Washington Law Review
We have just finished our 77th annual meeting of the American Bar Association. This meeting has, of course, been unique and unusually gratifying in that it was the occasion of dedicating the American Bar Center in which is lodged the American Bar Association's new headquarters and the American Bar Foundation research and library headquarters. You have all heard of this glorious accomplishment and every one who was there, I am sure, was thrilled because of the dignity, simplicity, and impressiveness of the ceremonies.

The Libraries Of The Legal Profession: A Study Prepared For The Survey Of The Legal Profession, By William R. Roalfe (1953), Marian G. Gallagher
The Libraries Of The Legal Profession: A Study Prepared For The Survey Of The Legal Profession, By William R. Roalfe (1953), Marian G. Gallagher
Washington Law Review
The statistics, and the author's conclusions, make good bolstering material because they are as authoritative as it is possible to obtain. Mr. Roalfe has a fine reputation among lawyers and librarians as a law library oracle, partly because of this training and experience, and partly because he never seems to have an axe to grind. He will tell you where he stands personally, and then proceed to outline arguments on both sides of the question. In preparing this Survey, he has deviated from form only in limiting expression of personal opinion to the minimum which must creep into any author's …
Salesmanship For Lawyers, Ward Roney
Salesmanship For Lawyers, Ward Roney
Washington Law Review
You and I are very proud and happy to be members of the great and noble and ancient profession of law or else we would not be here, and yet all of us have suffered constantly throughout our lives malignment upon the part of the public, castigated as liars and thieves and crooks and everything unworthy of the trust which we hold sacred to our practice of the profession. And it is very unjustifiably so, of course, as you know. But we as individuals ard entirely responsible for that concept upon the part of the public.
Legal Aid In Retrospect And Prospect, Lane Summers
Legal Aid In Retrospect And Prospect, Lane Summers
Washington Law Review
In complying with the request for comment on the recently published book by Emery A. Brownell, entitled Legal Aid in the United States, I may appropriately quote from others writing on the same subject since the author largely uses that method of stating basic principles which, put together, prescribe legal aid as a social medicine

The Holy State, The Second Book, Chapter 1, The Good Advocate, Thomas Fuller
Washington Law Review
The following is an excerpt from The Holy State and the Profane State written by Thomas Fuller in 1642. It seemed to us a thoroughly charming piece of work and amazingly pertinent to "modern" practice. It is herewith offered for your pleasure and instruction.
The Function Of The Lawyer In Estate Planning, Charles I. Stone
The Function Of The Lawyer In Estate Planning, Charles I. Stone
Washington Law Review
Inflation and an unprecedented increase in employment and national income have multiplied the number of individuals having at least a modest net worth and therefore the groundwork for an estate. Our staggering national debt has been accompanied by an expanding and intricate pattern of taxation winch takes increasingly more from an increasingly greater group. From the individual's point of view, the only interruption in this trend has been the Revenue Act of 1948. It is probable, if not certain, that the future will bring greater tax demands. The many who have recently acquired actual or potential estates are finding themselves …

Report Of Committee On Unauthorized Practice Of Law, Jack Freeman
Washington Law Review
At the first meeting of the Committee appointed by the Board of Governors as the Unauthorized Practice Committee for the year 1948, the members took up the matter of prime importance, that being the prospective action against the realtors of the state for unauthorized practice of the law It had before it the recommendation of the Board of Governors that a test case be brought in King County against the Washington Association of Realtors and certain individual realtors, but the Committee felt that perhaps prompter action could be obtained in some other county in the state, because of the crowded …

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

Steps That Have Been Taken: A Survey Of Past Activities Looking Toward Provision For Free Legal Aid, Lane Summers
Steps That Have Been Taken: A Survey Of Past Activities Looking Toward Provision For Free Legal Aid, Lane Summers
Washington Law Review
Apparently the first recognition of the necessity of organization in free legal aid by the Washington State Bar Association came just before its statutory integration, when a special committee was appointed in February, 1933, to cooperate with the State Relief Commission. 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
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 …

Report Of Committee On Unauthorized Practice, Ewing D. Colvin
Washington Law Review
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
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 …

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 …

Service Through Books, Anon
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 …
