Wichita Attorney Believes Lawyers Should Specialize
Robert Foulston Speaks to Audience on "Costs and Returns of Law"
"A lawyer should take the position of not appearing to be a politician, and yet be pretty active as one," an article on the rights of Witches, who was graduated from the Law School of the University with the class of 1911, when he was questioned during his talk Tuesday in the "Costs and Return's I Law."
The practice of law is a changing proposition. Mr. Foulston told his colleague that he would be staple, "normal" institution. A long time ago matters of rights were settled by the church. Any difficulties with this provision were the leaders of the government.
Mr. Foulston mentioned a remark made not long ago by a friend to the effect that the law is changing from a profession to a business. He himself believed that if this in true we would lose our ability to be rapidly losing his position; the public concept is different. He is no longer looked upon with the same degree of respect as formerly; now he has better aptitude to satisfy the appreciation of the public.
Law a Changing Profession
Phi Sigma to Hold Banquet
Phi Sigma will hold its annual
inaugural banquet at the church
church tonight at 5:30p. The members
who were recently initiated will put on stunts for the entertainment of the older members. Toasties, desserts and costumes are planned. Phi Sigma is a research organization of graduates and seniors who have completed some relevant coursework in the field of bacteriology.
In considering the field of law and its costs and returns, Mr. Foulston said, "The time is coming when the field no longer belongs to the lawyer. There are many cases of which are, general practice, public representation, which includes city or county attorney positions, and even industry, income tax and board of appeal work, which is the most lucrative and pleasant work in the field of law today, title work, that of trust companies, in the service of some concern, which is not unpleasant but most unpleasant phase of law. This kind of work is passing; now the courts do not inquire into the technicalities of crime. They merely look at the facts, so there need of a lawyer who any more."
Lawyers Must Be Versatile
Deprivation Part or Career
With regard to the costs and returns of a job, it is often hard to experience when he gave the warning that frugality and deprivation would very likely be a part of the young lawyer's career, as well as patient training and a struggle for independence, also, and giving the client all of his time. 'But on the other hand he enumerated several satisfying returns, such as increasing finances as the lawyer climbs in his work, the acceptance of legal advice and the accompanying satisfaction of the returns of service and public esteem. Mr. Fouston seemed to feel that the biggest titling of all was the privilege of having the government, and upholding the constitution of the United States.
The eight qualifications of a good lawyer that Mr. Foulston gave were the following: He must be a salesman, for he must be able to sell honestly to the court and the jory the things he has to sell. He must be a lawyer, for he must determine what is right and also have the keen appreciation of the one who tries the case. He must be a journalist, and though a good law student, he must show publicity, but know how to give the right kind. He must be a psychologist; he must have sympathy, but above all he must know the psychology of the jurymen. He must be a lawyer, for he must be most infrequently seen in the courtroom is very often the most successful lawyer, for he is able to scare his opponent out of court. And finally he must be his client's friend, for he to be a friend is the pinnacle of success.
