Annual Lepl Check-up
Many persons far years Have
been going to physjcians and den
tists fqr periodic physcial apd den
tal check-ups. They have found
that it pays to do sp. ’
More recently there has develop
ed tlie annual legal check-up. When
did you last have yours ? "Preven
tive law” has increasingly come tp
play an improtant role in, the day
to-day wprtt efothenptaeticing law
yer. Business enterprises long ago*
found that it paid them to consult
lawyers before serious legal trouble'
actually developed.

Individuals are now just begin
ning to realize, with all of the com
plexities of modern life, that they
may in the future, have dite legal
troubles which they can presently
prevent. A man may entef a law
yer's office and say “I • have no
legal aches or pains, but tell mp
am I in reasonable good legal
health ?” It is a recognition oi^the
fact that, by virtue of a thorough
legal check-up, the lawyer can ad
vise his client of some legal trouble,
pending or foreseeable, of which
the client may not be aware. '
The. idea of an annual legal check-,
up is founded on the assumption
that‘lawyers are more familiar with
law (legal health) than are non
lawyers. As between a lawyer and
a client, the lawyer is more able
to determine the client’s legal status
than the client himself.
There is an old saying that “a
man who is his own lawyer has a
fool for a client.” He is not com
petent to make a diagnosis of his
own ailments.
Most people don’t know whether
they are in good legal health or
not. For example, they have no
clear-cut idea of what would be
come of their worldly possessions
if they should die tonight. They
might have consulted a lawyer some
years ago about the making of a
will or the ownership of property,
but both the law and the pertinent
facts could have subsequently
changed.
Legal trouble can spring from a
new fact happening the day after a
legal check-up is made. Clients
should report to their lawyers
changes in factual situations as
soon as they occur.
The legal requirements of a fam
ily are always changing because
the family is not a static unit. Ev

The resulting pool of accident
data has produced findings that
serve as a basis for specific auto
'design changes aimed at lessening
injuries, Cornell authorities report.
Design modifications based on
these studies include improved door
hdtdih£ mechanisms, recessed''steer
ing wheel hubs, padded instrument'
panels' and5 sipVisors, and s^at
belts. All have been effective in
redOcing injury, Cornell has re
potted in preliminary findings.
A statement list the' following'in
formation:
Door Latching Mechanisms: ’ In
the samples studied, the incidence
Of door opening in post-1955 Cfcrs
was reduced as much as one-third
in cars with improved latches; with
the result that the frequency of
ejection was reduced about 40 per
juries about 12 per cent.
: Common
that ‘being
thrown dear of the car1 during
an accident heightens one’s chances
of survival. Previous-. findings by
Cornell have demonstrated con
clusivdy that such is contrary to
jfaCt, and that risks of death are
increased nearly five tinles when, a
person is thrown from the car. If
the annual level of traffic fatalities
remains on the order of approxi
mately 40,006, Cornell reports , that
a-.. conservatively estimated. 5500
lives could be saved each year if
ejection were prevented.
"Steering Assemblies: As in fire
case qf padding materials, data are
still insufficient; for statistical analy
sis. From available cases clincal
comparison indicates a reduction of
severe chest injuries.
“Seat Belts: When in use at the
time, of the accident, seat belts are
associated with about a 35 per cent,
reduction in the risk of major and
fatal grade accidents.”
