To the Georgia Bar Association: ATLANTA, GA., August 7th, 1888. The undersigned Special Committee, appointed by the President to prepare, have printed and distributed, a statement of the purposes of the National Bar Association, and showing why, in our opinion, it deserves the support of this Association, beg leave to report that in compliance with the duty assigned to us we had printed five hundred copies of the statement, a copy of which is hereto annexed, and mailed a copy to each member of this Association, and the remaining copies we herewith deliver to the Secretary for the use of the members.. By request of the President, we also mailed copies of the proceedings of the National Bar Convertion to a few of our members, and have some copies left which we turn over to the Secretary with this report. Our expenses in discharging these duties were as follows: To the Members of the Georgia Bar Association: In view of the fact that it will be necessary, at the meeting of our Association on the 7th and 8th of August, to determine whether this Association will connect itself with and send delegates to the National Bar Association, which convenes at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 8th of August, the President has appointed the undersigned as a special committee to prepare and distribute a statement setting forth the objects of the National Bar Association, and to report whether in our opinion the Georgia Bar Association should connect itself with that organization. This is done in order that the discussion of the matter may be the result of accurate information furnished in advance. In compliance with the duty assigned to us, we have hastily prepared the following summarized sketch which we have had printed and caused a copy to be forwarded to eacn member of our Association, and we respectfully ask that it be promptly and carefully read. On May 22d, 1888, by request of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, delegates elected or appointed from the various bar associations in the United States assembled in convention at Washington City. Hon. James O. Broadhead, of St. Louis, Mo., was elected chairman and afterwards president of the association organized, and one vice-president was elected from each judicial circuit in the United States, as follows: First Circuit-William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire. Second Circuit-George T. Edmunds, of Vermont. Third Circuit-Guy E. Farquhar, of Pennsylvania. Fourth Circuit-A. S. Worthington, District of Columbia. Fifth Circuit-Percy Roberts, of Louisiana. Sixth Circuit-John H. Doyle, of Ohio. Seventh Circuit George E. Adams, of Illinois. Eighth Circuit - Given Campbell, of Wisconsin. Ninth Circuit-Zach. Montgomery, of California. R. Ross Perry, of Washington, D. C., was elected secretary, and Lewis B. Gunckel, of Dayton, Ohio, treasurer. In that convention the Georgia Bar Association was represented by James Bishop, Jr., Dudley DuBose and Emory F. Best. Other delegates were appointed by the President but did not attend. When the convention met a committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws, Mr. Bishop, of this Association, being one of that committee. The work of the committee was submitted to the convention, and with a few amendments was adopted. It shows that throughout the country there are sundry bar associations, the objects of which are to maintain the honor and dignity of the profession, to increase its usefulness, and to promote mutual improvement and friendly intercourse, but their scope and operations are more or less limited, and their forces ought to be combined and their scope extended by forming a central national association, to be composed of delegates from each local association. Therefore, an association was organized under the name of the National Bar Association of the United States. Its objects are to promote uniformity in the laws of the various States on the subjects of descents, wills and conveyances, marriage and divorce, limitations of actions, the settlement of estates, comity between the States, extradition of criminals, commercial paper, and all other subjects where unification is desirable; to promote improvement of the judicial system of the States and United States; to promote a knowledge of the laws of the States and United States; to encourage and extend acquaintance and fellowship among the members of the profession; to devise methods for maintaining the standards of professional honor and ethics; to promote the science of law and the administration of justice. The association is purely representative in its membership, and is to be composed of delegates from such other bar associations as may ratify the constitution adopted by the convention, and each association shall pay five dollars in advance as annual dues for each delegate to which it is entitled, viz.: Three delegates for every fifty members. The Georgia Bar Association, having two hundred and seventy-six members, is entitled to sixteen delegates, and will be assessed $80. This money is to be expended for defraying necessary expenses of the association, and in having its proceedings and other publications printed and distributed among the delegates and the associations they represent. At the first election the delegates are to be divided into three classes, onethird being elected for one year, one-third for two years, and onethird for three years. There will be annual meetings, and the first meeting is to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 8th of August, 1888. The following standing committees are appointed annually: Executive committee, committee on uniformity of laws, committee on law reform, committee on legal ethics, committee on legal education and admission to the bar, committee on international law, committee on printing, and such special committees as may be necessary, the style of each indicating its duties, the Georgia Bar Association being now represented on the executive com |
