Entrance Requirements To Be Raised, Says Article PORTLAND FAVORS PLAN College Course Is Necessary In profession The first issue of the Oregon Law Re view contains an article by Win. G. Hale, dean of the Oregon Law School, on “Legal Education and Admission to the Bar.” In his article, Dean Hale gives the fundamental principles upon which the University Law department will take its stand in demanding higher require ments for admittance to the Oregon bar. Dean Hale said yesterday, that while in Portland over the week-end he dis cussed the manner with the heads of sev eral prominent Portland law firms and they are very much in favor of the higher standard as worked out by the University. Letters, too, are coming in from established law firms over the state, said Dean Hale, commenting fa vorably upon the plan. Future Must Be Considered. In speaking of the law profession in the opening paragraph of his article, Dean Hale says, “I proudly concede its ancient prestige and its great service to human society. But I wish to talk now of the present and future of the profes sion. The vitally important questions that the profession faces today are: What is its prestige now? How far is it today measuring up to its opportunities, its duties and its responsibilities?” “The legal profession as a whole has not kept and is not keeping pace with the great march of human events,” coq» tinnes the article. “Everyone knows that the progressive spirit of the medical pro fopRion has swept it leagues beyond the legal profession. A few years ago the medical profession caught the spirit of the age, beheld its lnrger opportunities, and vigorously and courageously moved forward to fill them. It set its require ments for admission on a plane that established - at onde new standards in medical education. btandards Must Be Raised. “The profession cannot rest on its past laurels,” says the dean’s article. ‘‘The regaining and retention of its position of recognized leadership requires that new and higher intellectual and moral demands be made upon those who would enter its ranks.” The appeal for higher requirements asks that any man or woman admitted to the bar be required to have hod at least two years of a 'regular college course besides training in a standard law school. The heads of the University law school recommend that the law stu dent have three years of college work besides his three years in the law school. This would entitle him to two degrees, the A. B. and the Law degree. The crying need for a college educa tion in the practice of the law profes sion is donionstrnated every day by the letters which come to Dean Ilale asking him to recommend men to various firms in Portland, demanding that the men be a college graduate and have had training in a staudard law school.
