The Law and Lawyers

In this piece, William Hoynes rebukes the pessimism of onlookers who fear that the legal profession has lost its virtue and become overcrowded. Here, Hoynes concedes that the lawyer population has expanded due to a correlating growth of business and that some who bear the title “lawyer” have failed the honor of the profession through the predatory tactic of inciting potential litigants. However, Hoynes moderates this view by shedding light on the prevalence of obtaining legal education to arm oneself with tools useful in reaching success in a myriad of fields other than law practice. In sum, this paper asserts that the legal mind is formidable in making decisions, forecasting results and understanding complex issues. Hoynes then offers an esteemed view of the role of lawyers in undertaking their responsibilities of honor, ethics, diligence, and professionalism

Law As an Educational Factor

In this article, William James Hoynes explores the full scope of education: the means by which all history is brought to knowledge in light of the past and sheds light on the future. He posits that education summarizes all of history, and creates a broadening influence upon the mind of a true scholar. Yet he explains that the law is not to be viewed as a system of arbitrary rules. It rests upon a consciousness of the needs of society. It adapts itself or is enacted with reference to these needs. Not only is the law the highest manifestation of human wisdom and sound reason, but it serves also as a most important educational agency. It teaches not only directly, but by its analogies, and fixes in the mind a habit of close reasoning. It tends to create a method of thinking peculiarly its own. It directs investigation to the origin of things. It insists upon concentration and continuity of thought in the investigation and proof of the subjects with which it deals. And the habit of reasoning to which it leads is not restricted solely to subjects of legal cognizance. It is applicable to all the relations of life
