The Role of a Lawyer

Extract : You need not be reminded that your admission to the Bar marks not the end but the
beginning of your education. Law is a progressive science, constantly growing and creating new
problems and challenges for the members of the Bar to meet. Old laws are constantly
superseded, implemented or supplemented by legislation in keeping with the rapid march of
civilization. While human nature remains the same, human relationships, human needs, and
new orders of things to which human nature has to be adopted are never changing and taking
place. It falls upon the lot of lawyers to keep pace with these changes and to see that law keeps
up with the time. A lawyer who does not grow with his profession will find himself losing and
his profession losing with him in public regard.
