THE AMERICAN LAW SCHOOL REVIEW

AN INTERCOLLEGIATE LAW JOURNAL

[blocks in formation]

THE

fred F. Mason, the editor of the American Law School Review, this number of the Review has been intrusted to the editorial control of the Secretary of the Section of Legal Education of the American Bar Association. It will be devoted almost exclusively to the more important results in the movement towards higher professional standards in the practice of the law.

At the St. Paul meeting of the American Bar Association, in 1906, Mr. Lucien H. Alexander, of Pennsylvania, made this suggestion in the meeting of the Section of Legal Education:

"There is great lack of uniformity in the various states with reference to rules of admission. Some states have excellent rules on some points, while on others they are totally deficient in important particulars. Now, it has occurred to me that it might be advisable to have a committee of this Section draft a set of what might be called ideal or standard admission rules, with explanatory notes emphasizing important provisions, and which, when finally approved and adopted, may

eventually be recommended by the American Bar Association as a guide to states desirous of securing the best possible system for admission to the Bar."

The suggestion resulted in the appointment of a committee of seven to draft a set of rules for admission to the Bar, "which, if adopted and approved by this Section, may be regarded as Standard Rules."

As organized in 1907, this Committee consisted of Mr. Lucien H. Alexander, of Pennsylvania, chairman, Mr. Lawrence Maxwell, Jr., of Ohio, Mr. Wesley W. Hyde, of Michigan, Mr. George W. Wall, of Illinois, Mr. Frank Irvine, of New York, Mr. Henry H. Ingersoll, of Tennessee, and Mr. Hollis R. Bailey, of Massachusetts. The membership has remained unchanged since 1907. The Committee has submitted a number of written reports, which, with the discussions evoked by them, will be found in the volumes of the American Bar Associa
