PAGE: I move it be adopted. MR. STEVENS: I move it be adopted and the recommendation concurred in. The motion was seconded and carried. PRESIDENT CAPEN: Is the Committee on Legal Education ready to report? MR. MATHENY: Judge Mack has sent in the report and I will read it. (Report presented as follows:) To the President and Members of the Illinois State Bar Association: Legal education offers a number of problems which have not yet reached their solution, but none of them present any peculiarities for Illinois. The Supreme Court requirement of a High School education or its equivalent and three years legal studies has greatly advanced the standard in this state. That these studies can be best pursued in a Law School is a proposition that today meets with well nigh universal acceptance. In the last few years, an association of the principal Law Schools of the country has been formed for the specific purpose of discussing questions of legal education; the meetings are held annually in connection with the American Bar Association and its Legal Education Section. The work of these bodies so thoroughly covers the field that practically nothing remains to be done by a committee such as ours except to note the progress in our own state, from time to time. The reports of this committee in recent years have been so elaborate in this respect that we have nothing to add to them at this session. On the question of Admission to the Bar, your committee suggests that the prerequisite of a certificate of good moral character might be made more effective by the adoption of a rule of court. in every circuit, requiring five or ten days' notice of the motion therefor. In Cook county such notice should be by publication in the Law Bulletin so that the members of the Bar might know of it and be able to present objections at the hearing. Respectfully submitted, JULIAN W. MACK, Chairman. |
