add to cart   close window

The article discusses U.S. judicial procedure. On December 9, 1929, jurist Ben B. Lindsey, internationally known as the founder of the modern juvenile-court system, was disbarred from the practice of law in Colorado by the Colorado Supreme Court. The opinion of the court, written by Chief Justice Greeley W. Whitford, declared with acid bitterness that Judge Lindsey had been "false to his oath taken as a judicial officer, and also false to his oath as an attorney and a counselor at law, and has thereby proved himself unworthy of the trust reposed in him by this court, and withal wanting in that indispensable moral character which the administration of justice demands of an attorney and counselor."
