A few lawyers have taken exception to this stand, calling it “curbstone chatter . . . inculeating in the ¢ minds of a great number of people a disrespect for é law and the courts,” and declaring that “there are many questions of public concern, a discussion of which would be more beneficial than an attack upon - the law, the lawyer and the courts.” The editorial in question was neither an attack, nor. was it curbstone chatter. It was intended as constructive criticism of involved legal procedure and as a plea for general simplification of the legal code. - This paper claims no originality for this plea. In fact, it is a plea made so often that it is becoming trite, and in support of these views can be quoted such authorities as the recommendations of the American Bar Association, Chief Justice William Howard Taft and Dean Roscoe Pound of the Har- * vard law school. Weightier testimony would be _ hard to find, but there is plenty of it. Justice Taft some years ago went so far as to say _ that, “The trial here is a game of chance in which * the advantage is with the criminal.” That is rather damaging testimony to the con- tention that all is well with the law. E The same sentiment comes from ex-Governor Charles 8. Whitman of New York: “The laws of - America, as at present constituted, are protecting " the criminal.” The 1923 convention of the American Bar Asso- ciation, meeting in Milwaukee, heard its special © committee on crime report that our laws must be simplified; that the legal system of the United States lacks in three great essentials for law en- forcement—celerity, certainty and finality; and that “in most courts of the United States, for a trial judge to attempt to correct a false argument, to ex- - pose a specious plea, even when that plea is having a wrongful effect, for him to expose an effort to in- * jeet passicn or prejudice, or to arouse sympathy in _ order to shield the blackest guilt, if the defendant | is convicted, may require a new trial. ‘ Writing under the heading dt‘* ‘“~whab's ‘Wronk + With the Law?” U. S. Attorney Bethuel Matthew Webster, Jr.,of the southern district of New Yorl:, = detlared that. “The old machinery, the old attitudes, the old dogmas—all have been stretched , andj, strained by unprecedented changes, and only recent- ly, after twenty years of distrust, has the profes- sion=frankly asserfed the need for fundamental al- *qrations.” “The prosecuting machifiery is, choked with cases ‘ot which it'can make no other disposition than to dismiss them wholesale,” writes Dean Pound of! Marvard under the heading “The Crisis in American iow.” often,” he goes on, “the rules and doctrines 3 which business transactions are scrutinized and @edged are narrow and based upon ideas and meth- ods of the past.” ‘Even after. capture, the modern professional criminal frequently finds a way to elude justice through the archaic technicalities of our inherited edure,” says #neditorial in the current issue of blie Affairs,” discussing the same points for hich this paper. pleaded previously. farrying the argument further, “Public Affairs” itinues as follows: “He (the criminal) and his ‘advisers have learned to turn the very machinery of jpstice to their own advantage—to make devices iwhich were designed to protect the innocent a means of escape for-the guilty. “2 Misspelled ,words, misplaced pr omitted initials, use of even well-known abbreviations arc “+ helent, in not a few states to invalidate an res An example: ot this last practice is offered in fhe a semicolon ‘case” at Trenton, N.
