Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Constitution, by-Laws, Roll of Members and Proceedings of the Kentucky State Bar Association at Its Organization Meeting Held in Louisville, Kentucky, November 19, 1901 Pursuant to call, various lawyers from different parts of Kentucky assembled in the joint Session Hall of the Louisville Court House on November 19, 1901. The meeting was called to order by Mr. E. J. McDermott, of Louisville, as follows: In behalf of The Louisville Bar Association, gentlemen, I welcome you. This association and the Covington Bar Association have called this meeting in the hope that a useful and permanent State association may be established. We have not forgotten the wrecks of the past. We do not deceive ourselves with Utopian dreams of future power and glory. We know the difficulties, but we feel that we can accomplish at least a little in a field wherein the lawyers of other States have done much. What Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York and the other States have done we can do. We are behind them in some things, but we are not by nature incompetent to deal with the organization of the bar and the reform of palpable evils in the administration of justice. In some of the best States such associations have flourished for twenty years and have brought about practical reforms. If we can exist for five years, we shall greatly benefit the State and our profession. We certainly need to take counsel together. The status of the bench and bar can not be regarded as gratifying by any thoughtful lawyer among us. In the first place, the method of examining and admitting lawyers to the bar is absurd. Six months´ study of the code and statutes and a few elementary books will admit anybody into our ranks. It takes more time than that to become a carpenter or a plumber. The doctors of our State by their organization have made it now almost impossible for a quack to degrade their profession by humbugging the public. The law was once thought to be a learned profession. Can it be so considered here now? How can we make any advance in our efforts to give efficiency and dignity to our calling unless we guard its entrance against ignorance?
