Book Description

Excerpt from The Law Business or Profession? Columbia is taking steps to keep out of the legal profession men whose character and ethics are inconsistent with the standards of the profession, according to Dean Harlan F. Stone or the law school, who said yesterday that in the five years he has been at the head of the law faculty at least two students who had satisfactorily completed courses had been denied degrees and half a dozen more had been advised to leave the school. Dean Stone said that in many cases it was practicable to steer a prospective lawyer whose ethics did not appear to be of the best away from the profession before he had received his legal training. "In such a case," said the dean, "the student is called into the office and is told that Columbia would be much better off without him. He is advised too that he should not go into the law and in order that this may have effect we notify the Bar Association and the character committee in New York State and also the bar examiners of every State in the Union."
