Judge's Prejudice Against
Attorney, Hurts Only
the Litigants
(Orogon Law School Journal.)
Tho criticism which have appeared
In tho Journal from 'its first publica
tion on tho mannor in which same of
our courts have been conducted have
not alone beon in the Intorest of at
torneys who may bo forced to practice
therein, but especially in the interest
of the people who may unfortunately
hare had cases In court. If a judge
acts In a haughty manner, Ifbo dis
criminates ngalnst an attorney, while
tho attorney temporarily suffers, yet
tho litigant Is the ono who BufTors
most It must not for a moment be
thought that our criticisms have beon
oflored solely In behalf of thfi, ntttor
noy, but thoy havo been principally In
the lntorost of all our pooplo who may
chanco to be affected with litigation.
Some persons seem to think when the
court, In tho course of a trial, deals
harshly and unfairly with an attor
ney, that tho attorney nlono suffers.
Such Is not tho caso. Tho attornoy's
clients suffer far more than the attor
ney. Tho litigant's rights nro jeop

trentmont of tho mombers of tho bar

It is tho perron who has busl-

Ills

by reason of conduct unbecoming a
Judge. If the poople will boar In
mind that It Is the Interest of tho Htl
gants that nro chiefly concerned In
our criticisms, they will see tho forco
and effect of them, and ronlizo how
,Inportnnt It Is for their protection
that our courts bo ConuU(:tCd without
