TWO NEW MEN MANY ARE AFTER LAW LICENSE Examinations Being Held lit Hail of Representatives 66 QUESTIONS ASKED Chief Justice Walter Clark Addresses Applicants for License List of Questions Asked Young Men About' Sixty Before Court Today. Chief Justice Waller Clark today put up the examination for the young "men who" are applicants for license to practice law in North Carolina. The examination, which began about 10 o'clockis being held in tlie hall of the house of repre sentatives and will be concluded at .i dcioci; inly alternoon, mere are ali nit sixty young men : being ex amined... Chief Justice Clark t ) the Law Class. In tipeiing the examination of ap plicants for license to practice law, the Chief Justice said in substance: Cent leineii -The statute requires that all. -applicants "shall satisfy the court eif their competent knowledge of t he law practice in all Hie courts of this state," and our license, if yon shall receive It, certi fies. l:iat haviug': been examined by us you have been found competent I o practice in tin courts of this state. There has therefore" been submitted to you sixty-six iiuesl ions to test your competency to practice law in North Carolina. You will perceive that you will not be troubled with questions as lo your competency to practice law In foreign couhlry, under the feudal tenure system and amid the intrica cies of black letter law; nor even under the law and practice in Eng land where Blackstone wrote, 150 years ago (except, so much of it as is still law), for that law and that practice have long been abolished .veil there and left "scarce a wreck behind." There is no possible ob jection to your studying Blackstone, or anything-else, tor fragments ot all the sciences are "taken up in the ashes of the law." But the only thing that we are to certify to is your knowledge of the law, as you have to use it. Neither is there any objection to your having knowledge of the Twelve Tables of Rome, or the Stat ute de Donis, nor of any code of other countries, but the days where law students were called on to waste their time on useless timber, and spend their money for books they will scarcely, if ever, use again has past. This is a practical age. The medical society does not care to ex amine young physicians as to the practise of Galen and Esculaplus. They want to see if the young men have the latest and best knowledge. So In this examination you are not asked about the Iniquitous feudal system which an ludignant people abolished two and a half centuries ago. If you have rightly studied Magna Carta and its history you have found that, instead of being a monument of our liberties, it was wrung from a weak king by a syndi cate of Barons in their own interests, and that they were even more hos tile to popular-'.' rights than the king. What your clients will want to know is whether you are competent to practice law, not as it used to be hundreds of years ago, in another country, but can you properly advise l he m as to the law in North Caro lina, as it is today. Our certificate, if you obtain It, will say that we think -Tlml you are. Therefore these questions are upon t lie law ltiat is in existence now and here. If you answer two-thirds of these ques t Ions, we will be glad to grant you a license, if you do not, we can not do so. .' We do not mean to certify that any applicant knows all the law; we do nol know It all ourselves. But If you answer two-thirds of these questions, taken from all branches of the existing law of the land, we believe that you are so grounded in the law of North Carolina that you know where jo, find it and how to apply It. ' You are seeking to enter an hon orable profession. We place each of you on his honor neither to give or receive aid In answering any of these questions. We do not know Ihe author of any paper submitted to ns, they being identified only by (Continued on Page Eight.)
