Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the Mississippi State Bar: Held at Jackson, Mississippi, June 26-28, 1940 At the annual meeting of the Bar Association held in Jackson, Mississippi, there were present some three hundred and forty eight mem bers. The Secretary reports that we have some fifteen hundred active members of the Association. This would indicate either that the law business is so good that the lawyer can not take the time off to attend the annual meeting, or that business is so bad that he can not raise the money to go, or that he is not interested in the problems of his fellow lawyers, or some other explanation. In any event the problems that you have as a lawyer are the problems that we propose to have as a Bar Association. The matter of fees that are allowed by the courts are in many instances too low; this should have attention. Most lawyers are too busy, going from one case to another, to keep up with Federal Regulations and State Departmental Regulations. These regulations have the force and effect of laws. At the meeting of the Commissioners held in Jackson, they authorized and requested your President to assist them in holding institutes in each Of the Court Districts pf the state. We propose to hold one or more, depending on the local bars. The meetings will be something along this line: The President of the local association along with your Commissioners and a committee will select the subject you want discussed, probably two subjects. Q We will attempt to get the Speakers for you. We will get lawyers from the State Bar, they will probably come from some other district. The State Secre tary will invite all of the members in your district to this meeting. She will give them an outline of the meeting, the names of the speaker and some of the authorities he will use. In brief a general outline would be to arrange a schedule along the following lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
