The author of the manuscript suggested by the death of Mr. Justice Kekewich, which we publish in this number, is a lawyer who has practiced extensively in London for many years, and whose views upon English judicial appointments are entitled to great weight. Yhile he feels it his duty to call to the attention of the profession the possibility of abuse attending upon their system, for obvious reasons he prefers not to disclose his identity. • GEORGE P. COSTIGAN, JR., is Dean of the Law School of the University of. Nebraska and has previously contributed articles upon a variety of topics of interest to the profession. His early experi ence in active practice gives added force to his views upon the proposed code of legal ethics.
