Excerpt from Special Session on Legal Education of the Conference of Bar Association Delegates: Held Under Auspices of the American Bar Association

Last winter a study of legal education was made by a special committee of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of The American Bar Association. On August 31 the special committee submitted its recommendations to the Section which approved them after very full discussion, and on September 1 these recommendations were adopted by The American Bar Association at its meeting in Cincinnati. I enclose a copy of the committee"s report, on the last two pages of which you will find the text of the resolutions as adopted by The American Bar Association.

You will observe that a representative Conference on Legal Education is to be called for the purpose of uniting the bodies represented in an effort to create conditions favorable to the adoption of the principles approved by the Association. This conference will take the form of a special session of the Conference of Bar Association Delegates and will meet at Washington in February.

It is most important that the delegates from state and local associations shall be men of standing and influence, who will be able and willing to give time and thought to the conference and to the constructive work which will follow it. The committee in charge hopes that most of the delegates will be practicing lawyers, although some law school professors will doubtless attend whose counsel will be of great value. The movement which has led to this conference is not initiated by law schools, but springs from a recognition by the members of The American Bar Association of the bar"s obligation to protect the public and the profession from incompetent and unethical lawyers.

I am writing to you because of your interest in the subject and in the hope that you may cooperate with the other officers of your association to secure well-qualified delegates from your bar.
