Iowa Lawyers Divided Over Integrated Bar Plan Debate
Iowa top lawyers clash as the Supreme Court prepares to hear Wednesday arguments on creating an integrated state bar. Judge W L Bliss endorses the plan to compel every practicing lawyer to join and pay five dollars annually, while Senator Edward Breen counters that integration equates to regimentation and loss of autonomy for the current state bar. The pamphlet from Burt J Thompson argues the plan would unify all licensed lawyers under a self governing body without legislative creation.
