There has been some speculation
here for some time among interest-
ed parties us to whether or not a
noii-liceiisud attorney can by law
practice in justice court. For the
iiiloriuution of those interested and
the public generally, Thk Leadk
has reviewed the law on the sub-
ject—p. 11"), s. to 388, inclusive— 1
w hich plainly provides that 110 per-
bOii is eligible to practice as attoi- ;
ney before no court unless lie h*s
been examined and admitte*1 to the
legal bar before a court of record
The law says nothing of a justice j
court, but plainly says ho shall
practice beiore NO court unless he
be a regularly admitted attorney at 1
law. The law covers the ground
completely and precludes'and dis-
bars from practice many assumed '
attorneys everywhere. It is a
good one, if en forced, protecting as
it does tho legal profession and pre-
cluding the possibility of its being |
brought in disnpute with incompe-
tent and unworthy talent. If jus-
tices would observe their sworn
duty, they will enforce the law
touching this subject.
