ABSTRACT 1937 The law is progressive and ex ' pansive adapting itself to the new relations and interests which arc constayitly springiyig up in the progress of society. But this progress must he hy analogy to what is already settled. — Greene, C. J.

' f 1 - Uiiitii THE ABSTRACT— 1937 PROGRESS QDOOK about you and you will realize that civilizations are ' not composed ot great men and vital elements, nor are they even dependent upon them. If all ditch diggers were brutes and all senators saints, of what value the Senate? Democracy, though some would have us believe otherwise, exists not by virtue of those who forge to the front alone; for what leader could stand or write or speak before a mass of evil men all over the earth? Somehow, slowly, inter- minably, the germs of progress have spread, are spreading and will continue to spread — not more appreciably through an Edison than through a store clerk who wrote a foreign dictator and challenged him to a fair fight, the American way. Draw back the curtains upon the monumental stage that IS History and in ever ' act one thing becomes increasingly apparent; that there is only one gesture which the players of progress can execute — and that is the forward step. Unless this be maintained the scene shifts; the stage begins to darken, and old familiar shadows like hooded lepers stalk into view. Ignorance, Fear, Brutality, Avarice, and Greed return to blot the footprints which the heroes made. Whenever and wliere- ever this tragedy is played — then let all the nations of the earth take heed; For all the world ' s a stage. — — Irwin Ratner. i Hd THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL EDWARD T. LEE, Dean THE ABSTRACT— 1937 DEDICATION A big game hunter in describing a certain species dropped the phrase, They arc as rare as a truly modest man . To those words nothing can be added; for see as you will among men, the successful individual who remains his own unaltered self is the classic exception to the law of human nature. To ask. whether such a man is successful because he is modest or modest because he is successful is to revert to a much abused enigma. But this we do solemnly pronounce: the man whom we honor has much within ' which passeth show. We believe that the dean in an age of mercenary, coercive standards in high places has come through beauti- fully unscathed — wtih his ideals and convictions intact. One see}{s in vam today for mellowness and understand ' ing, for that indly, albeit Quick, sense of humor in our more prominent men. They may possess one or two of the qualities we enjoy, but rarely an abundance of them. What herculean struggles he has faced in order to retain those qualities ivhich we admire in him! What personal gains he must spurn in the present maelstrom of political pressure! Salute — A truh modest man! I in iUrmoriam 1 Elmer DcWitt Brothers, a member of the faculty continuously since 1904 and exceeded in length of continuous service to The John Marshall Law School only by Albert E. Wil- son and Dean Edward T. Lee, died suddenly of heart failure on April 6, 1937 while engaged m swimming, of which he was a devotee, at the Hamilton Club. Wlule on the faculty Mr. Brothers had taught the subjects of Agency, Real Property, Partnership and Medical and Dental Jurispru- dence, although since the war he had confined his lecturing to the last named subject. He had practiced law in Chicago since 1892 after receiving the degree of LL.B. from the Univer- sity of Michigan in that year. Early in his practice he devoted special attention to per- sonal injury and malpractice cases and was the author of a number of articles and short trea- tises in the field of Medical Jurisprudence. For many years he lectured on the subject to the medical students of the University of Illinois, College of Medicine. Born in Decatur, Indiana, Mr. Brothers had moved to Kansas where he became Superin- tendent of Schools at Council Grove prior to taking up the study of law. After he settled in Chicago, he became interested in Valparaiso University at Valparaiso, Indiana, becoming president of its Board of Trustees and main- taining his connection with that institution un- til the time of the war He w-as active in the Masonic Order and had become a 35rd degree Mason. He is survived by his wife, whom many former students will recall as his constant and friendly companion at all functions of the School. While Mr. Brothers had not enjoyed the best of health during the past winter, he had nevertheless given his usual series of lectures to the second year students of the School during the month of January because, as he himself said, he en- joyed the periodic association with students too much to feel like missing it just because of win- ter colds Page Eight CONTENTS SCHOOL SENIORS UNDERGRADUATES ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADVERTISERS Page Nine c5 School £ooks ack How many of us that attend this modern institution of learning have ever paused to re- flect upon its beginning? Let us assume for a moment the retrospective attitude and gasc back upon those years which must seem — for certain men — as dim golden prints upon the patterns of their lives. It is difficult to realise that on the opening night of The John Marshall Law School, Sep- tember 20, 1899, at 35 North Dearborn Street, the entire student body attained the magnifi- cent number of three! There they sat, three lonely, slightly embarrassed young men, listen- ing to Dean Jewett introduce a faculty of eighteen distinguished looking professors. Among them was a middle-aged New England lawyer who seemed to win the affection of all with whom he came in contact. Among the other lawyer lecturers introduced were men whose names were to become as beacon lights m the legal profession. Of the immense student audience only one member was capable of paying tuition. An- other slept nights in the class room working his way through. The third begged a little time and got it. All three of them, alive to- day and prosperous, regard themselves as pri- vileged and fortunate to have sat in class on that memorable evening. Nothing daunted by the sise of the first group, the beloved Dean Jewett carried on; encouraging the faculty, in- spiring the students. Slowly but surely the school began to grow and prosper. New stu- dents realizing the opportunities lying open to them entered and stayed. In 1902 the school announced a most daring experiment, law classes for women. Only one other state. New York, could boast of such radicalism. The faculty, always the foundation of any school, increased and improved. New subjects began to appear in the catalogue, and John Marshall was definitely on its way. Then in 1904 the school suffered its first tragic loss, the death of Honorable John N. Jewett, dean of the school and a dean among men All who knew Mr. Jewett sensed in him instinctively that rare phenomenon — a suc- cessful lawyer and an idealist combined. Came then as captain of the school ' s destiny Judge A. N. Waterman, a soldier of the Civil War of whom it is told that two horses were shot from beneath him in the same battle. Resign- ing in 1909, he was succeeded by our pride of pr:des Dean Edward T. Lee, a man whom one and all acclaim as the dominant figure in his field. Meanv ' hile the institution was progressing with great lusty strides from a strapping adol- escence to a maturity which brought it na- tional attention. A list of the names which v ent to make up the faculty from 1899 to the present reads like a Who ' s Who of the legal profession in the last third of a century. It may be said without fear of criticism, that no school of the middle Avest boasts a finer roster of men who have achieved distinction not only at the bar, but on the bench, in the legislature and in national affairs of highest importance. What a tribute to our own dean that no one of these men, regardless of what heights he has scaled, has ever forgotten him or has ever failed to shower upon him the most ardent praises whenever the occasion presented itself! On approximately its thirty-fifth anniversary, the John Marshall Law School packed up its things, took one last look at its birthplace, and moved into its present home. And a fine home it has proved to be : where formerly tired busi- ness men found relaxation in an atmosphere of luxury, the students of this school now pursue their burning quest of the law. But despite the fine trappings, the rich decorations, the greater space and convenience, that burning spirit of ambition which typified the young men of 1899 in the old Portland Block, has re- mained precisely the same. And there lies the triumph of this school. Those protagonists of the day law school who would have us believe that a night school lacks tradition are simply ignorant of the meaning of the word. In the spirit of a school such as this lies the only real tradition — a kind that is fought for, sacrificed for, against all odds and temptations. Look back upon the in- spiring past of this, our school, and tell us that it has no tradition !

Page Thirteen he £egal Profession and the Evening ais) School Noble W. Lee Two positive advantages aecruing to the le- gal profession from the training of lawyers in evening schools of the country have not re- ceived the attention which they deserve. Law students of course, and the lawyers who have enjoyed the opportunity afforded by these schools, appreciate the advantages which they have to offer. In son-ie quarters however, there has been a tendency to regard legal training thus obtained as being possibly the best avail- able to persons otherwise employed during the day time, but nevertheless not all that might be desired. That this opinion is not founded entirely on fact nor well supported by the evi- dence is manifest upon a closer examination of the method and circumstances of such law training. At the beginning it is well to note that or- iginally the man aspiring to become an advocate was trained by a pure apprenticeship method. He became personal assistant to a practicing at- torney and as a matter of fact became a part of the lawyer ' s family for a period of iive years or more. He thus worked with the lawyer in constant and close association every day and under the direction of the lawyer read and dis- cussed wnth him the law books of that day. Outside of office hours the student still con- tinued to live in a legal atmosphere, among con- versation about the legal incidents of the day, and reminiscences of other cases in which the attorney had proceeded; and participated in the fncndly informal gatherings of lawyers and other legal apprentices. The student thus learned the law by living in it and absorbing it from time to time both by working and stu- d ' ing upon it. The only cause for change in this method of training lawyers arose from the fact that many became too busy to devote the time and energy necessary to the building and the well- rounded training of a man ambitious to enter the profession. In fact, it was only a little over a centur ' ago that the first law school in the United States was established at Litchfield, Connecticut by a retired judge who conducted classes in the liv- ing room of his home until they became large enough for him to enlarge and remodel a wood- shed to serve as a one-room schoolhouse. The roll of graduates of this school, incidentally, included men of distinction who held every high governmental post from that of President of the United States down. Gradually other small schools were estab- lished in other parts of the country although it is noteworthy that up until the Civil War this modest school at Litchfield, then as now a re- mote New England village, attracted students from all over the United States, including the far south. More significant still, the teachers in all such schools were inevitably either retired or active judges or lawyers of long practice. No one thought of teaching law who had not been deeply immersed in its practice for many years of his active life. After the Civil War, the number of law schools began to increase gradually, especially by the addition of such departments to existing universities. While in the main their faculties continued to be built up from among the ranks of veteran practitioners at the Bar, a new type of instructor began to appear, namely, the teacher who during his days as a student in law- school had proved exceptionally brilliant but who upon completing the course felt no desire for practice and consequently turned his atten- tion to the more peaceful life of the legal scholar. An impetus to add teachers of this type to law faculties was given by the note- worthy position attained by Dean Langdell of Han. ' ard Law School who was one of this type . ' ind whose exceptional scholarly attainments and brilliance made him stand out. Conse- quently, other law schools, particularly those associated with universities, sought also to seek out and give teaching positions to the more brilliant of their students in the hope that some of them also might become second Langdells. The use of the teacher who has never en- gaged in the practice of law or whose practice has been limited to less than five years and who has become the teacher of law primarily because of his acquaintance with the teachers whom he had and their appraisal of his qualities rather than any recognition of his legal capacity by members of the profession at large has greatly increased in the last twenty-five years. In fact the method of obtaining law faculties by this manner is somewhat in the nature of a vicious circle. When a law teacher has begun teaching law with little or no experience in practice, his acquaintance usually does not include any (Continued to page 71) Page Fourteen THE ABSTRACT— 1937 - ■ - ■• -f K Vi ' 1 •, 1 FACULTY ilnt ' ™ - !-!, FACULTY 1904-1909 Page Sixteen ANDERSON BEBB BROTHERS BIPPUS CHRITTON GEORGE F.

Sood-bye to the Glass of une ig y Bv EDWARD T. LEE, DEAN • • • • It was one of the largest classes in the history of The John Marshall Law School that enrolled in September, 1934, and became the June class of 1957; and while the personnel of the class has since that time been changed by the sub- traction of original students and addition of new students, the number has kept up un- usually well. The average age and maturity of this class exceeded the average of our classes ; and this has resulted in a higher level of schol- arship and a more regular attendance than the average class. While it came in like a lion it is by no means going out like a lamb, and its tone has become quite harmonious. Those who have had the privilege of appearing before the class as lecturers and instructors have formed a highly favorable impression of the class as a whole. As a body of young men and women no school could ask for a better or more re- sponsive group. They have become welcome members of the increasing family of the school, and though the time has now come for their de- parture and their physical separation from the classrooms and library of the school, those who have had the valued e.xperience of associating with the members of the class readily acknowl- edge the stimulating benefit of their presence, their co-operation, and the helpful attrition with the class in its different sessions. Speaking for myself and the office staff of the School, I believe I can truly say that we have all greatly enjoyed the association we have had with the class of June, ' 37 and with its many members: and we unite in the fervent hope that good fortune may await each and every member of the class, and that the asso- ciation begun here may be renewed in frequent meetings of the alumni in the future. f-fiiT Page Twenty-seven CLASS of JUNE, 1937 JESSE R. WAGNER President G SAPPENFIELD Vice-President RUTH KING Secretary MILTON LORENZ Treasurer ail and farewell CTn the autumn of 19.U the class of June, 1937 began the study of law with an enrollment of over 1 ' ' O students. As we draw near graduation, we who are left approach that glorious event with an outlook which can best be described by the stereotyped phrase with mingled feelings. We are all glad that the long grind is over and that the time is near when we can devote even- ings to other pursuits. On the other hand, it will be with a very real sense of regret that most of us will leave John Marshall. While it has been tedious work at times, there has been an intellectual stimulation which can be had in no other place but a classroom. But all has not been hard work and we can look back on never to be forgotten incidents which have enlivened almost every class hour. In addition we have all made friendships which will last long after the last examination is forgotten. As a class we have an appreciation tor the benefits we have received at John Marshall. We realize that we have secured a broad, firm foundation in the field in which most of us expect to earn a livelihood: we know that our teachers have been leaders in their respective fields; and most important of all, under the guid- ing hand of Dean Lee we have been taught and inspired by one of the leaders of the American Bar. We take with us a good legal training, pleasant memories, and lasting friendships. We hope that we shall be able to measure up in actual practice to the standards set for us in our preparation.

TREMAINE 802 5 Maryland Ave. University of Illinois Page Thirty-six In The Game Room Smiling Joe Martv Hausman Thintir Lincoln ' s cS duice to lawyers The Icadinsj; rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calHng, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done to- day. Never let your correspondence fall be- hind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor per- taining to it, v. ' hich can be done. When you bring a common-lav. ' suit, if you have facts for doing so, write the declaration at once. If a law point be involved examine the books and note the authority you rely upon for the declar- ation itself where you are sure to find it when wanted. The same of defenses and pleas. In business not likely to be litigated — ordinary collection cases, foreclosures, partitions and the like — make all examinations of titles and note them, and even draft orders and degrees in advance. This course has a triple advantage, saves you labor when once done, performs the labor out of court when you have leisure, rath- er than in court when you have not. Extemporaneous speaking should be prac- tised and cultivated. It is the lawyer ' s avenue to the public. However able and faithful he may be in other respects people are slow to bring him business if he cannot make a speech. And yet there is not a more fatal error to young lawyers than relying too much on speechmak- ing. If any one, upon his rare powers of speak- ing, shall claim an exemption from the drudg- ery of the law his case is a failure in advance. Discourage litigation. Persuade your neigh- bors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how a nominal winner is often a real loser — in fees, expenses and waste of time. As a peace maker the lawyer has a superior op- portunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough. Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitu- ally overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket? A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which should drive such men out of it. The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client. An exorbitant fee should never be claimed. As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand you are more than a common mor- tal if you can feel the same interest in the ease, as if something was still in prospect tor you as well as for your client. And when you lack in- terest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence m the performance. Settle the amount of fee and take a note in advance Then you will feel that you are working for something, and you are sure to do your work faithfully and well. Never sell a fee note — at least not before the consideration service is per- formed. It leads to negligence and dishonesty — negligence by losing interest in the case, and dishonesty in refusing to refund when you have allowed the consideration to fail. There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague be- cause when we consider to what extent confi- dence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improb- able that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is com- mon, almost universal. Let no young man choosmg the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief. Resolve to be hon- est at all events: and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other occupation, rather than one in the choos- ing of v. ' hich you do, in advance, consent to be a knave.

Sud- denly I remembered, to day, Februar ' 8, 1958, was the 20th anniversary of my graduation from The John Marshall Law School. But this couldn ' t be February with summer in the air and flowers in bloom. Then it came to me; I hadn ' t turned a leaf on that calendar for four months. But such details as what month it is, never did bother me. Memories of events and faces came back and I realized what little thought I had given them since I had started to practice law. My excuse to myself had always been that I was too busy, but now I began to think about all of the class that had graduated with me back in ' .iS and to wonder what they were doing now, twenty years after their graduation. I decided to round up as many of them as I could and have a lit ' tie get-together. This seemed like a tough assignment for one person, so I called up Stan Evans who was pres- ident of our class back in ' ?S, and told him of my idea. Apparently this was just the thing ■ Old Prog (a sobriquet Stan had earned by shrieking Progress! at ever ' opportunity) had been wanting to do for a long time. He was all for it ; as he put it himself, he had been out of circulation too long in his job as editor-in-chief of Chicago ' s leading newspa- per. He and I met in his office and looked up the names and addresses of the graduates in the ABSTRACT of 1937. Each took a group to look up and we parted with the promise to keep in touch with one another in regard to our progress. Stan had no trouble in finding his old side-, kick. Art Bogeaus, who was known through- out the town as the eccentric millionaire who bought the Chicago Temple Building and made the tenants walk up to their offices. He was so enthusiastic about the idea that he offered a whole floor of the building for the party, and said he would even let us use the elevators. Across the street in the County Building, I came across a few of the boys in Judge Mere- dith Nelson ' s courtroom, where Ted Hoffman, and Theodore Kalpake were fighting it out over a c ase arising out of Albert Pioch ' s ninth child ' s marksmanship in scoring a bull ' s eye on Landlord Davidson with an electric light bulb. I asked the judge and the two attorneys to the party and they promised to come. This was a pretty good start, but on calling Stan I found he had not made much progress, so we put our heads together and decided to go over to John Marshall and see if we could- n ' t get a lead there. The first person we met was Professor Bill Velner who welcomed us back to the old stamping ground. He con- ducted us into Professor Keeler ' s office, and we listened to their stories of confounding the green students with a profound knowledge of Negotiable Instruments and Real Property. They also had much to tell us about the where- abouts and doings of a number of the students that graduated with us. Harold Julius was a ta.x expert for the government, and, therefore, a guy that it would pay you to know or have on your side when any arguments arose regard- ing your income tax. Engineers Bruner and Rothfield had big jobs bossing projects for the Government. Herb Johnson and Sid Breen were big moguls on La Salle Street, Johnson being a broker with a corner on the wheat mar- ket, and Breen the president of the Metropoli- tan Trust Company. We extended invitations to all of them and then decided to take the afternoon off and go out to the race track. We were speeding mer- rily along when we were stopped by a motor- cycle officer, who insisted on our meeting the town magistrate, despite our protestations and pleas that we were old friends of Governor Wallace who would be very unhappy about this outrage to a couple of his classmates. We were due fo r a surprise, however, for in Aurora, the little town where the officer es- corted us, the Justice of the Peace turned out to be John Burkel, who immediately let us off easy with a hundred dollar fine for old times sake. We asked John to our party and he told us where to find some of his fellow suburban- ites who were members of our class. Page Forty-five We learned that Joe Bulger, the real estate man from Melrose Park, now owned the whole town. Further north in the City of Evanston, Banker Bihow reigned over the Bank of Evans- ton with Miss Arnold as first vice-president. We called these graduates from John ' s office and as we sat there, our friend the policeman ushered in two new contributors to Aurora ' s Treasury. They immediately started doing hand springs and ear wiggles and we recog- nized them as Bill Bunn and Frank Kovarik, national officers of a well known legal frater- nity, giving the Justice the business to escape a fine. Rather than witness their disappoint- ment we left invitations for Bill and Frank and started back to town. Upon arriving in the city and examining our joint resources, we found enough for just one drink apiece and, as one man, strode for the nearest tavern. As I dumped our fist full of change on the bar, we heard a familiar voice, Your money ' s no good here, boys, anything you want is on the house. Milt Plotkm, hand outstretched, rushed up from an office in the rear, to greet us and to tell us his success story. I own a flock of ' em. he said, All over town, the law business, phooey! While we were telling Milt of the proposed party, George Tlitsos and Al Lewis came in and al- though glad to hear of the reunion, returned to their wrangling over nice points of law, George offering to stake his reputation as a leading member of the American Bar, against Al ' s as dean of Chicago insurance counsel on the meaning of The in an insurance policy. Finally, from the radio speaker behind the bar, came the voice of Dean Theophilus, ace of ra- dio announcers, saying goodnight to his mil- lions of listeners as we left. The night was beautiful and as Prog and I sauntered through the park discussing plans, we wondered whether there was anyone we had failed to invite. Suddenly I saw a strange figure leaning against a lamp post, his nail tipped rod tucked under one arm, hoop topped sack lying on the grass, gazing with rapt ex- pression on an old scrap of paper held in a grimy hand. Yes, he said. It is I, Ratner, my employers allow me to keep the equipment after hours, to continue my search for the beauty hidden deep in words. We shook his hand sadly, and as we passed on I thought I heard him murmuring, All the charm of all the muses often flowering in a lonely word. The reunion of the class of February 1938 was a great success. Mark so far cast aside the dignity connected with his position as president of National Distillers Products Corp. as to don an apron and mix drinks for the crowd. Minsky ' s Chicago Branch, of course, provided the entertainment. Parson Joy, the only one of our number who had chosen to harangue a congregation rather than a jury, showed, when it came his turn to address the class, not only the spirituality he had devel- oped with the years but also the results of his excellent training in Klines Elocution Kollege. Some there were who had drifted so far away from the scene of their early struggles that It was impossible for them to be with us to toast the years. From many of these telegraphic greetings were read by Toastmaster Dale Sut- ton who had locked up the office of Chief Legal Counsel for Standard Oil Co. to spend an evening looking back. Mr. Max Liss, old professor and old friend, was the principal speaker and, during the sec- ond hour of his speech, I know I saw streaking in through an open window, swift as a shaft of light, a long nail pointed rod. Three dis- carded rolls were speared in as many strokes and I once again turned my attention to Mr. Liss. Finally the last song was sung, the last toast drunk, and the distinguished gathering dis- persed with many fervent promises to gather again next year, and the next and the next far into the future. And, if some of the members of the Class of June . 8 awoke next day, or the same day, with the taste of life in their mouths it was an illness contracted in a great cause, and their only possible regret was that we could not have had present every one of those grand men and women who had wept, laughed and worked together through three of life ' s bright ' est years. Page Forty-six areinjell We of the class of June, 19J7, are over whelmed with a sense of the incredible swift- ness of Time ' s passage as we reflect that it was three years ago that we entered the John Mar- shall Law School. One hundred and fifty rather bewildered but intensely eager students were gathered m the second floor auditorium of the School. They were listening to the opening lecture of a law course. The instructor was doing his utmost to impress the class with the arduous nature of the course of study ahead, and the necessity of pre- serving throughout their career as students their eagerness, enthusiasm and deep-seated desire to gain entrance into the society of that most privileged of all classes of men — the Lawyer. As we contemplate the essential nobility of a profession hallowed by time and sanctified by the service which it has rendered to the civili- zation of all ages, the word privileged is used advisedly. The contemporary scene af- fords an excellent illustration of the profound need for the legal mind in civil and political life, a genuine understanding of our institutions, divorced from emotional bias and prejudice. It is precisely this approach which a study of the law imparts. Throughout the three years of our appren- ticeship, innumerable and oft times seemingly insurmountable have been the difficulties and frustrations encountered. Somehow, and it is with justifiable pride that we so state, the great majority of the class managed to plod onward, as step by step it gradually yet surely fulfilled the destiny to which it dedicated itself, that each member of the class qualify himself for a degree. We have sat in the company of a variety of minds. Each instructor brought to the sub- ject not only the rules of law applicable to it, but the force of his own personality. From each, out of the wealth of his experience and knowledge, we learned; and as we look back and reflect, the thought is inescapable that we as students have been associated with sincere and able men, who endeavored to the best of their ability to serve us. To the Faculty we extend our gratitude. Our thanks, however, to the Faculty of the John Marshall Law School would seem empty were it ncit followed by an expression of ap- preciation to the directing and guiding spirit not only of the Faculty, but of the entire School. The class as a whole could not have undergone so long and severe a period of legal training without having partaken of and be- come imbued with the sincerity and innate dig- nity which the spirit and mind of Dean Ed- ward T. Lee have imparted to the School. Were we, and each of us, to emulate his example, it should be said of the class of June, 1937, ' They were all — all honorable men. It IS with mingled feelings of happiness and trepidation that the class bids farewell to the School which has been for so long its Temple of Law. We have spent years accumulating the knowledge with which we shall take our places in the society of men educated m the law, and we feel certain that the years will bnng to fruition those elements which constitute our heritage as students of the John Marshall Law School; a sound legal background, coupled with an appreciation and understanding of the ideals and ethics of our system of jurisprudence. —BERNARD JACOBSON. June, 1937 Page Forty-seven THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCH(X)L Our Law, like all others, consists of two parts, vis., of body and soul. The letter of the Law is the body of the Law, and the sense and reason of it is the soul, ' Quia Ratio Legis Est Anima Legis. ' And the Law may be resembled to a nut, which has a shell, and a kernel within; the letter of the Law represents the shell, and the sense of it the kernel. So you will receive no benefit by the Law if you rely only upon the letter. — Serjeant Plowden, 1574. THE ABSTRACT— 1937 UNDERGRADUATES B9Wf ' i THE BIRTH OF GENIUS To every new-horn life God gives a soul To guide it Avhile it exists Among Its fellow beings; And in that soul perhaps A genius lies buried. To be awakened by some Mortal strife — A love for art, music and The worldlier things Does oft display itself As life grows older: Yet, while young, there is Evidence of power beneath, Which marks itself upon The facial features; Thus it is that every man Who makes his mark. Is also marked by nature As his teacher. The life wh:ch writes These lines Has often wondered Where one ' s power lies Who writes a verse of music Or of rhyme. Or paints a picture — So real and vivid, It looks as life itself. And after thoughtful Meditation, he concludes: That life which lives Within one ' s life Speaks! And the whole World listens and wonders At its marvels. James Ballowe. Feb., 1939.

University of Illinois Page Fifty-nine Page Sixty THE ABSTRACT— 193 FRESHMEN hat ' irst ear in £aw School At no time in my experience has progress been more clearly evident than in the first year at law school. The quick formation and steady advance of courses is so plainly discernible as to be terrifying to the bewildered neophyte trying to adjust himself, in a maze of unfamiliar rules and reasons, to steady forward movement while the varied lines of study, lecture by lect- ure, march ahead with inexorable persistence. The impressions of the law school freshman depend upon many factors, important of which are the student ' s personal reasons for studying law, his stock of native intelligence, and his educational preparation before beginning the study of law. His reasons for studying law, if sincere and ethical, should furnish the ability to look upon each unfortunate happening dur- ing freshman year, not as a failure to find the right system to use in passing examinations, but as a challenge. During the first year my own experiences have been varied finally resulting in, I hope, a better understanding of what constitutes real appreciation of the value of a legal education. Before I thoroughly digested the simple fact that reasons for rules are more important than rules, I was hopelessly floundering and dis- couraged, firmly convinced that I would never overtake the hurrying columns to occupy my proper place in the line of march. Personal reasons for studying law were a strong factor in forcing me to make a careful self-examination which revealed the cause of the most important difficulties. What I found to be my trouble might be useful to another freshman in the same situation; with this in mind, I have the temerity to say — do not just read law; do not just glance through reasons behind the rule; apply to both reason and rule a sensible amount of old-fashioned study. When we are so fortunate as to be blessed with a normal amount of intelligence and use It properly, there is a chance that we may be- come fairly good lawyers after practicing for about fifteen years. But intellectual capacity is something we inherit; all we can do is use what we have, no more, no less. Most authori- ties believe that the person who starts at the head of the class and remains there throughout the school years, does so because of superior in- telligence. But there are many who make a poor start and actually struggle their way through to become leaders of their profession by supple- menting ordinary intelligence with years of hard work. Many of my college friends who are still in undergraduate schools have asked me if I found this or that college course beneficial in law school. In a first year student there is a nat- ural hesitancy about giving such information. But there is one thing a freshman might safely say in this connection, and that is that a proper preparation for law requires a knowledge of almost everything, but that a pre-legal student might leave the Chinese language out of his curriculum and still be able to struggle through law school. A word now about persons I ' ve met at law school, other freshmen and members of the faculty. I ' ve never met a finer or more serious minded group of men and women anywhere, in school or out. If I learn not one ounce of law, the experience of knowing them has been ex- hilarating and instructive. The members of the faculty, from their actions, seem to consider the progress of each student an individual problem of the school. As a freshman, my impression of the School, its purpose and facilities, persuade me that law is a living desirable profession. —A FRESHMAN.

Conseauently when circumstances make it possible for him to offer some one else a position in the teaching of law, he is much less acquainted with the vet- eran members of the profession whose reputa- tion has been earned and whose mettle has been tested on the hard field of experience, than he is with those who were his own asso- ciates as a student or those whom he has in- structed while a teacher. Since trusting a man i ath the responsibility of teaching others in- volves the placing of great confidence m the teacher so selected, this factor of personal ac- quaintance is obviously of great importance. The weakness of this development has. how- ever, been the subject of very frequent com- ment by lawyers and even by teachers of law themselves in schools built up in this man- ner. In the last ten years this feeling has re- sulted in specific efforts to endeavor to bring the student in such schools into closer contact with the ripened maturity and the rich experi- ence of the practitioner. The medium em- ployed, however, is gene rally that of the occa- sional lecturer or short series of lectures by some outstanding member of the Bar, which unfortunately puts this lecturer rather in the position of being on exhibition instead of plac- ing him in a close, companionable and informal relationship with the student. It is especially in establishing such contact between the law student and the ripened prac- titioner that the evening law school is preemi- nent. With faculties ordinarily built up among men of demonstrated ability at the Bar, the stu- dent is thus given an opportunity for acquaint- ance with him and conversational companion- ship with men who are daily doing that which he aspires to do. The student is thus permitted to learn, as it were, by absorption and personal influence, — modes of learning which are among the most effective of all not only in what they impart from a factual stand-point but likewise in atmosphere and attitudes which they pass on to the coming lawyers. The second notable benefit to the legal pro- fession from the evening school arises from the fact that the normal evening law school stu- dent is engaged in some other occupation or business and by the time he is ready to enter the law he has had at least several years of such business experience. Inasmuch as the ultimate purpose of the law is, of course, to subser -e the broad social welfare of the body politic of which, of course, the conduct of business is an integral part, the addition to the legal profession of men experienced in business ser -es naturally to make them more effective as lawy ers than they would otherwise be. The lawyer who enters the profession with no background other than that of many years spent in schools, and no experience in life outside of the academic and home environments almost of necessity has a doctrinaire and abstract conception both of the situations with which the law must deal, in- cluding both persons and things, and of the general position of the law in a balanced scheme of social organization. In an effort to remedy this acknowledged de- ficiency a number of great university law schools of the country such as Yale, Chi- cago, Harvard, Columbia, Minnesota and others have lately required every law student to pur- sue studies in the fields of social science and business administration as well as law. The necessity for such additional instructions is, of course, much less in the case of the evening law school student who as a rule has had not only these somewhat auxiliary or preliminary studies to a substantial degree but in addition has ex- perienced the thing about which he studied. It would inevitably be a misfortune if the le- gal profession was to be recruited solely from any one type of student brought up on only one kind of training. To obtain that balance in the profession which is the ideal it is desirable that it should have practitioners trained by every feasible mode of training and representing dif- ferent viewpoints of the law. Through the re- sultant interchange the law and the legal pro- fession are enriched both intellectually and practically and the lav yer can be more useful to society. The outstanding contnbutions then of the evening law schools to this interchange that is essential to the realization of the fullest use- fulness of the profession to society are first, the training of future law.yers by men of ripened experience in practice and second, the addition to the membership of the profession of men whose varied background and prior business expenence will enrich the profession by offset- ting the tendency toward hair-splitting verbal quibbHng and over-rationalization which in- evitably arises when fresh blood and flesh are not constantly introduced into the life stream of any profession. Page Seventy-one THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL With the gradual evolution of society, and the development of the complex system of law in our modern civilization, the profession of the law has broadened into various and clearly defined fields of service. Thus the law er of today may choose fields of activity that were not open to his predecessors. Court practice, while still a conspicuous part of his duty, has given way in large degree to many other kinds of service, ranging from the writing of legal papers to acting as counselor for corporations. —FREDERICK J.

Every Saturday the Debaters ' Forum brings you mem- bers of the John Marshall Law School Faculty, Alumni Association and Student Body who de- liver talks on timely, interesting, and important topics of the day. Page Seventy-eight Debaters ' Forum i Leo J. Bartoline Director Through the fine cooperation of the students, faculty and alumni association, the Forum has been uninterruptedly broadcast for over two years. The program consists of round table discussions on topics pertaining to law, debates with other schools and universities throughout Illinois and surrounding states and talks by members of the faculty and alumni association. Through the generous help of Benjamin J. Kanter, i7, the Debaters ' Forum has had a choice spot on the air. His counsel on cen- soring the speeches has been of great impor- tance to the welfare of the program. The comments from the audience have been helpful because they point out the errors in grammar, pronunciation and logic. Their ques ' tions, problems and interesting letters have re- paid the participants for all the time and effort put into this activity. The letters range from direct proposals on how to save our country to interesting sidelights on what is wrong with everything in general, including the speaker. As an extra-curricular activity, the Debaters ' Forum presents one of the best methods of telling the world what the speaker has on his mind, although tact must be used. The speak- ers who have cooperated in the program feel that the experience and thrill of broadcasting have been sufficient to make them desirous of participating. Future debaters may anticipate a new sensation when the Program Chairman, Leo J. Bartoline announces, The Debaters ' Forum is on the Air. Page Seventy-nine 1st Row — Wagner, Williams.

The scholastic ideals were notably manifest by the scholarships awarded to Nathan N. Not- kin and Stanley S. Evans.

Business Manager STUDENT EDITORIAL BOARD Editor: ROBERT HORNER The John Marshall Law School Quarterly although only one and one half years old has already taken its place among the leading law school publications. It has gained consistently in popularity and each issue is eagerly awaited by a rapidly increasing number of interested readers. Lawyers and students alike appreciate the carefully selected articles and the timely and concisely written case comments. Law students and lav.yers are peculiarly per- sons of impression and expression. During the law course and during practice, lawyers arc engaged chiefly in receiving impressions from teachers, from their reading, and from their active practice. Opportunity for expression in student years is limited and this may be so during many years of practice and yet the power of expression, orally and in writing, is the most valuable possession of a lawyer. His chief function is to impart to his client, and to the court, and to the jury his understanding cf the law. And, however much legal knowl- edge he may have absorbed as a student or in his later years at the bar, unless he can express his learning clearly, precisely, and convincingly his store of knowledge may be unproductive. Therefore, it is to provide a channel for ex- pression on the part of the students, the alumni, and the faculty of The John Marshall Law School, and such other members of the pro- fession as may be interested, that this John Marshall Law Quarterly is published.

Page Eighty-seven THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL To place a bridle on men ' s tongues so that they be restrained from calumny, without laying irksome fetters on the ordinary communications of society, and to curb the licentiousness without at the same time stamping the salutary freedom of the press, is one of the most arduous but, at the same time, valuable achievements of our law. r ,r i Mii i ' ft THE ABSTRACT— 1937 FEATURES i i f he .landlord Wit and humor are difficult elements to han- dle in a classroom. They are likely to cause embarrassment to students and sometimes to the instructor, or to escape control and work con- fusion in ranks which can provide enough of that sort of thing for themselves. But strange- ly enough, neither of these results follows Mr. Liss ' combination of elements in his course, where the ambitious scholar may learn wit, hu- mor, dramatics, real property, contracts, and the law applicable to Landlord and Tenant. True, there is occasional embarrassment; but that suffered by the student comes from an oc- casional lack of any knowledge of the law in- volved in a question, that suffered by the in- structor generally results from asking a question to which not a single mental response appears on the tablets before him on which such re- sponses should be shown. His is like the em- barrassment of a man who finds himself half way through a swell speech at the wrong banquet. In the humor and drama sections of the course, Mr. Liss turns virtuoso, and looks it, with his shock of unruly black hair and his ever-moving, just as unruly hands, pointing v ith flashing gesture his sparkling witticisms. So that everyone will start on the right foot, the rules of the course are clearly announced on the opening night, the one most heavily stressed being: Til handle the comedy — you save your strength for answering questions. Thus relative positions are definitely outlined in the beginning, avoiding the danger which exists, with virtuosity in the air, of the place being overrun with leaders in the various fields of dramatic art, and the landlord forgotten in the howls of the tenants. ity in Illinois on the law of Landlord and Ten- ant and Forcible Entry and Detainer. Mr. Liss humor is swift and fluent, some- times a flash that lights up a point which be- fore had been just another black spot in the Stygian darkness; and the penchant for the sudden association of words causing merriment displays itself in our virtuoso only during the colloquy following a question which proceeds from him. No timid seeker of information or enightenment who addresses a question to the instructor is greeted with any attempt at hu- mor. His question is carefully considered and as carefully answered. And there is always time before or after class to clear up any point on which a student has doubts after a lecture, the theory apparently being that all the instructor ' s time spent in or near the school building belongs to the student. There are in this, as in every course, hidden defects: the genius who boasts of passing exam- inations without ever cracking a book, the in- different student who, without any good reason, disturbs lectures by coming late and leaving early. These are not known to the landlord at the beginning of the term and so he cannot be held liable therefor, nevertheless he soon discovers them and takes it upon him- self to cure them in one way or another. We whose lease has terminated were glad to escape a holdover which might be considered a renewal, but this was only because of our de;ire for progress. We can look back upon a pleasant term, spent in delightful premises managed efficiently by a magnanimous landlord. — C. G. JORDAN. The semi-weekly classes move swiftly for- ward between assignments of cases to be briefed and learned from Author Liss book of Illinois cases on Landlord and Tenant Law, predigested for student consumption.

Why Jid we begin with Landlord and Tenant and Mr. Liss? Because it s an important and popular course; because Mr. Liss is an alumnus of John Marshall who has done well in his profession and well with the course; and — because we just thought of the idea, time is short, and Mr. Liss makes good copy that s easy to write. Page Ninety - ' . ■ ■ l gfflssyf - ■ Curly and Broadway Bil Double-Dealin) The Landlord Brother Joy Louder, Tiger, Louder! brothers nder the Skin By HENRY XERXES DIETCH Riding down on the street car last evening, I met my old and very good friend, Percival Le Roy Fair- fax, K.C., Q.B., F.R.S.C.X., (ed. note: Hobo Col- lege ), but a most amiable soul for all that. After the usual felicitations, I invited Fairfax to have dinner with me, and he very graciously accepted. We cho.se LePetit Gourmet, for we had heard that one did not have to wash as many dishes per meal there as at other places less distinguished (the slave drivers), when one could not meet such a trifling mat- ter as a restaurant bill. Dogs, yea, sons of dogs, must these people be, who disturb the equanimity of true artists in the pursuit of gastronomical pleasures! I am always amazed by the breadth and profundity of Fairfa.x ' s store of worldly knowledge . . . but to- r.ight he was superb. In fine fettle, he had coursed up and down the land and around the world We were technically still guests and enjoying the fruits of our position. The head-waiter hovered solicitously over us, for he recognized in Fairfax that rare creature, a true epicurean gourmet. Gourmets there are in plenty, but in my life I have met only one genius and two epicurean gourmets. Fairfax is one, and the head-waiter watched rapturously. My friend and I sat toying with our after dinner liqueurs; we had already covered many topics of con- versation. We came by slow stages to the evils beset- ting this great country of ours. Fairfax waxed lo- quacious. He became oratorical. He waved his hands and gesticulated. You Americans, declaimed Fairfax, are you men, or are you mice? The situation is becoming fraught with danger but no one man is brave or hardy enough to face the facts. You slink about in won- derment and in excitable embarrassment. You pay and you pay, and yet your consciences dog your paths, and interfere with your souls. My dear fel- low, I tell you the situation is shaking the very foun- dations upon which the nation is built, the very hull upon which the Ship of State is reared, and the very backbone of every man, woman and child from the rockbound coast of Maine to the glorious, exhilarating, sunny shores of California. (Florida papers please copy.) Yes, my dear Fairfax 1 answered, but is there no hope for the doomed, no ray of light in this sea of hopelessness? I shudder to think of the conse- quences of such an earth-shaking problem. Be calm and take hope then. Fairfax paused to light a Corona Y Corona, furnished by the manage- ment, as I mentally inscribed the mounting costs of the sumptuous banquet. The tipping evil, he in- toned judiciously, can and will be solved, for it is not a problem which is inherent in the waiter aspect of the restaurant business. You have already stayed my beating heart, you have filled me with new life. I am rejuvenated, I cried. But exactly how are you going to go about it? What precedents, what examples are there to fol- low? Fairfax smiled wanly. As a barrister, I should not say it, for it is heresy. But precedent be damned. However, il you want precedent, I shall oblige, and what is more, I shall give you as precedent the culmination of civilized life, if you like civilization, — the legal profession. I stared, wondering what lawyers had to do with the tipping evil, except as grist for the tipping- mill. The table was being cleared just then, so I sat back and meditated. It was getting late and the head-waiter had departed. At least he would not see us do kitchen duty. At the first opportunity, when the table had been cleared, and Fairfax had ordered cafe noir, I de- manded an explanation. What possible connection can there be between tipping waiters, and lawyers? I asked. A matter of history, calmly observed Fairfax. You are brothers under the skin. It was this way, my dear fellow. Back in Merrie Olde England, law- yers started out on a tipping basis. You might even call it a tipster basis, if you wish. Anyway, the law- yers lived from hand to mouth on the bounty of their clients, as public policy forbade the lawyer charg- ing or even expecting payment in his legal capacity. What they did was to put the heat on their clients by walking around with little notices on their backs to the effect — T.I. P. — To Insure Progress , drop some of that filthy lucre in the box, in effect. And how they responded ! Really, I think they let the client worry about such paltry details. For psychol- ogically, who is the one who breaks out in a cold sweat, the tipper or the tippee? The tipper, of course. But time corroded the public policy of the day and the lawyer fell on lean years of fees, retainers, per- quisites, and contingent bases. And that is why, Mr. Restaurant Keeper, here Fairfax turned to the proprietor of Le Petit Gourmet, who had crept up on us, becoming anxious to hear the jingle of the coin of the realm, we must forbear payment until our circumstances permit it. As we were dragged off to the kitchen to the moun- tains of dishes there awaiting us, still buoyed up by the repast, Fairfax philosophically surveyed the scene, and in a sentence that will rank in the front lines of the world ' s wisest words, remarked, Yes, there is not much difference for some, from waiter to lawyer. I wondered — and then I understood. Page Ninety-two Substantiue acts of une, 2957 Walter S. Rady The race between Clyde Hdmiltun and R. N. Sappenfield, both staunch advocates of Thomas, Ltd. was won by Hamilton — Sappenfield was second by a hair. John Omaha Wright, our class sponsor, will be altar-bound next Fall. When lookiny; at Jim Egan one thinks of that song called Was Your Mother Born In Ireland. Best wishes to Albert Wendt who was forced to drop out of school because of ill health. Will be back next year. Take it Irom me, I have it frimi good author- ity, that Bernard Hummel has a mustache and it is not an advertisement for a baby ' s tooth brush. Then again wc have Herb (Rip Van Win- kle) Frehling who awoke only to find that three years had passed and that he h.id gradu- ated with honors. Just picture David Mittlcman and John Rie- bly speaking in front of the legislature on The Law Just Doesn ' t Seem Right or Fair. Robert Horner is really not all legs — above his neck is his head. Jesse Wagner, our President, says that the class has decreased from one hundred and fifty - eight to seventy-five, but what a disappoint ' ment to Noble Lee — not one casualty. Ralph Patterson is a law clerk in Charles Center Case ' s office. Judging from how tired he is when he comes to school, his slogan should be Action on the Case. Martin Hausman is handball champion of the school. Then we have Cyril who says that the in- structors mark his exams according to his last name — you know. Wrong Marshki. Harry Dimples Kaplan is much older than he looks. Do you think J.ick Kaufman ' s voice will change? Miss King is the tops in both personality and grades. Hugh Cannon is a clerk in the Circuit Court and is very active in Democratic circles. Jules R. Green is a former University of Illi- nois 1, ' i-lb. boxing champ. R. E. Wright figures that he has traveled practically one-half the distance around the world in his last three years — between his home and school. He lives in Manteno, Illi- nois. Leon Sider who looks like a South American gaucho, has a pair of hands that rival Primo Camera ' s. He wears a size 12 glove. The reason P. G. Schultg sits near the wall IS that he likes to rest his head against it. Probably thinks it ' s softwood. Elliot Grafman should be called Cinder — eventually he is going to be in the public eye. Sylvester Shepard was Golden Gloves Champion of Iowa in the Lightweight Division. Page Ninety-three Congnitulations to M. A. Rush, semi-iinalist in our Squash Tournament. It was only a year ago that he was a novice. The reason he sat in the front row is not tor knowledge but to rest his feet. The two best heads — of hair in our class arc Bernard B. Jacobson and Bigelow Boysen. Bill Louder Dreycr missed his vocation — should have been a cartoonist — the notes in his hook are expressed in pictures. If he can draw pleadings as well as he does cartoons, what a lawyer he will be! Ben Kanter is considered one of the leading pianists on the air — he is also Music Director of W.J.J.D. Herbert E. Schroeder is in his ninth year in the legal department of Standard Oil Co. Bill Powell IS not a screen star, but is that handsome chap who once recited in Contracts. The reason J. Wilfred Olson, George E. Tver- sen, Franklin Chino and Milton Lorens sit in the front row is that they want to see that which IS usually over their heads, which is very little. Congratulations to Bert Hankel. He ' s the proud father of a bouncing baby. . ' James Kemp is a newspaper magnate on the South Side. Whenever in doubt about court procedure, see Lester Goldstein; he is an authority. The reason Irwin Sedlacck chews gum is not bad breath, but the noise keeps him awake. Just because this is a law school is no reason for Jess Wagner and Marion Filson, Louis Cer- mak and Miss Freida Spencer, G. Ray Dahl- berg and Miss A. Keller, A. Gorton Smith and Ruth King, to go a-courting. Bernard Sweet and Maurice Adams are cou- sins, but aren ' t bragging about it. Frank J. Friedman, the Valentino of our class, claims he feels great because he gained an ounce since he started law school. He will be married in July. If Albin V. Punar wonders how he looks when he is asleep in school, let him take a good look at the handsome face of — Abe Lincoln. Arnold E. Hoeft, after he passes the bar, will go back to his favorite hobby — racing pigeons. % Charles Seda is the Blond Bomber of Ber- wyn, and has a double in Leo Johnson. Arthur Zimbroff will be m.irned in June — congratulations. ♦ Raymond Williams is a law clerk for Lloyd Heth and only received a G-plus in evidence, which goes to prove that politics doesn ' t work in our school. You have never really enjoyed a class unless you have sat near George B. Boardman and listened to his humorous interpretation of a professor ' s lecture. When you meet a fellow with a big smile and outstretched hand, that ' s Ben Schneider. He recently bought a sailing boat called the Ola. Watch out for the law firm of Amedco A. Yelmini and Robert Bellamy, if conscientious- ness is an omen. No wonder George D. Shaffner is such a bright light. He is employed by the Common- wealth Edison Co. Have you ever tried to figure out what the X stands for in Henry Dietch ' s name? The secret ' s out — it stands for Xerxes. Page Ninety-four M lawyer J broad - fk In January of 1937 while on a Meditteranean tour I visited Syria and Lebanon which had, the Sep- tember before, signed a treaty with France by which they were to be granted independence in 1939. Syria was before the great war under Turkish rule. After the war France was selected as Mandator) ' and a Syrian Mandate was declared by the Council of the League of Nations. The people of Syria were poor but happy under Turkish rule. Under French rule they have been more progressive and as a result, they have encountered the problems of taxation, new customs and governmental policies. The political and social life of the Middle East has for centuries been unstable and inse- cure. The Easterner is a good thinker and phil- osopher but in contrast to the inhabitants of the upper European countries, he is a dreamer and indifferent to system and systematic progress However, the Syrians have been able to assi- milate the teachings of others and under the guidance of France many of them have been found adaptable, and capable of successfully participating in the responsibilities of govern- ment. Today Syria presents an example of a well-mannered, educated, industrious people, well on its way to being a successful independ- ent State. It is natural that on a visit to any foreign land, the attention of a lawyer should be at- tracted not only to political and social condi- tions but also, and especially, to the courts of justice and their procedure. My observation was limited to the court of Beyrouth, one of the capitals and a seat of the high courts. The palatial court building is a two stor ' stone oval structure with huge arches leading into an in- ner rectangular courtyard. Entrance may be had to the surrounding chambers through the spacious openings between large columns. Some of these chambers are used as courtrooms and some as Judges chambers. At least one window in each courtroom opens on the courtyard and is equipped with a. shutter but is not glazed. The Clerk, or Secretary, has his desk on the same level as the Judge ' s bench but his seat is some distance away and next to the window. Witnesses are summoned by the Clerk or his assistants calling through the win- dow into the court ' ard which provides a con- venient waiting place for the participants. At a desk in the corridor sits a man who is well versed in languages, his duty is to help the ig- norant who cannot read or write and who have no lawyers. A George N. Cardozo Class of Feb. 1936 Judges and lawyers wear dignified black robes of the same kind. The lawyers are not as active in the con- duct of the trial as they are in the United States : the participants are questioned directly by the Judge. They are allowed to say anything pertinent that they wish without in- terruption. The Lawyers remain in the background, their main function 13 the drawing of pleadings. After testimony is taken and the judge has made a finding, the participant is asked to swear to the truth of his testimony upon the Bible represent- ing the faith he fo ' Iows. There is no hurrying in the conduct of the trial; participants are given plenty of time to talk and there is an air of genuine fairness in the adjusting of dis- putes. I was introduced to the President of the Court of Appeals, which is composed of three judges. We met in his chambers and, by means of an interpreter, v ' e exchanged views. He is a very intelligent man about forty-five years of age, speaks French and Syrian fluently. After we had some delicious Turkish coffee he per- sonally conducted us through the building, a most gracious host. He invited me to be pres- ent the next day at a criminal trial, which was to take place in his courtroom. The trial proved to be very interesting. In Syria any young man who is to be married tells his parents of his intention. If he selects the girl himself his parents consult the parents of the girl and negotiate the wedding; if he does not choose his own bride his parents choose for him. The young lady is frequently not con- sulted. And so it came about that a young mountaineer had selected his bride to be, but she was in love with another. The lover and the prospective husband met, argued, fought, knives vere drawn and both were seriously wounded. The lover died and the prospective husband was now the defendant in a murder trial. There was testimony that the murdered man drew his knife and that the defendant was obliged to do the same in self-defense. The young man was freed and, I suppose, went back to his mountains, pleased at the change that justice and circumstance had wrought in his life. I was impressed by the competency and hard work of the judges and the dignified conduct of counsel. My stay in the country was short and I did not have time to inquire into the mat- ter of fees, retainers, and the financial position of prospective litigants, therefore I cannot ad- vise any of my fellow alumni regarding possi- bilities in practice in Syria.
