Excerpt from Report of the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Maryland State Bar Association Held at Ocean City, Maryland, July 3rd 5th, 1907 We purposely pass by without discussion, for fear Of being accused of lese majeste, the question whether or not a like supervision over the decisions Of the courts Of last resort would or would not be something greatly to be desired. We submit, however, that it may come to be the subject Of much sincere thought upon the part of future generations of lawyers. Even though we sometimes look upon the learning of the judge before whom we have had hard luck in trying a case as far from being what it should be, in view Of the decision rendered for the other party, yet in our sober moments, when the spirit of battle is no longer upon us, we come to think Of him with a good-natured, tolerant spirit, considering our splendid brief that had so little effect. But who can find fault with a calm, clear and dispassionate criticism of a decision Of the court? I know full well, that lawyers Often act like soldiers, taking a decision as an order to be obeyed without question; but such an attitude neither helps the Bench nor honors the Bar. Be respectful to the Bench, and never permit ourselves to meekly swallow a decision simply because it is the last word. When there is good reason against it, or the decision is itself wrong. A strong and well-poised criticism both assists the Bench and dignifies the Bar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
