ABSTRACT

Scarcely. To say that lawyers are childish in their thinking would be to utter an absurdity. Lawyers are not, as a class, simpletons. Our profession can boast many of the world's keenest rninds, many of its most brilliant intellects. There is unquestionably a resemblance of some sort between legal Absolutism and childish thinking. But the resemblance is in illusory aims, in unconscious outlook, not in intellectual processes.
