Show School of Law TAH will be a better state to live in because of her School Dean William H. Leary of Law. Before many years, the majority of the members of the bar will be men who have been trained at home. Consequently, they will have a love for local institutions, they will exhibit a state pride, and be imbued with a desire to perfect local conditions. The process of training young men to take their places in the administration of justice has been well begun. Already between twenty-five and fifty young practitioners scattered thruout the state are making their presences felt. Here in Salt Lake City and County, graduates from this school are occupying positions of trust in the County Clerk's office, in the office of the County Attorney and in the office of the District Attorney, and but recently one of our former students sat as a Judge upon the bench of the Third Judicial District. Nor is this city and county an isolated instance in this regard. However the Law School visions its mission as having something of a higher nature than a mere utilitarian purpose. It must help to imbue in the whole body politic a love of law and order. The Constitutions of the United States and of this State, the Statutes passed by Congress and our own Legislature, plus the great body of the Common Law, which enfold us all, guarantee to each man a greater freedom of personal action with due regard for the rights of others, than any other system of law upon the face of the earth. One duty of the Law School must be to make every one realize this fact. &4a? '- /: Digital Image © 2007 University of Utah. All rights reserved. |
