Lawyers in Politics and Finance Sparks Debate in The Pilgrim's Script
A contributor to The Pilgrim's Script in the December American Magazine argues that lawyers play a pivotal role in concealing unlawful deals and frauds in business. Citing the Standard Oil and Metropolitan investigations, the piece condemns elite lawyers while praising genuine practitioners. It questions what the Bar Association will do about prominent lawyers aiding corrupt power, and stresses enforcement through fines and prison for the corrupt, not the law-abiding. The excerpt also notes real estate transfers, a hunting squad trip, and a local social visit.
