Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Columbia the Re-United States
Law, in its just significance, should be defined as the expression of universal justice; and the practice of law should involve only the details of the process by which that justice is accomplished: But, unfortunately for the profession, and still more unfortunately for society, it has, full oftener than otherwise, become the science by which a client is enabled to have his own way. In this aspect of the science of legal practice, the practitioner has very little opportunity for rendering to the society at large any just or fair equivalent for the benefits which he derives from being permitted to live ln the world and mingle with his fellow mortals.
It IS with a View of trying to give to this, and coming genera tions, some measure of return for social advantages which the author has enjoyed that this work is undertaken.
