Passage Three
The law consists of a great many of rules,showing when and how far a man is likely to be punished,or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbours,and so forth.These rules are contained in books.A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.He begins by doing little else than reading,and after he has prepared by,say three years' study to practice,still,all his lifelong and almost every day,he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.The power to use books,then,is a talent which the would_be lawyer ought to have.[07:07.21]He ought to be very flexible and find to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words.He ought to be ready in finding what a book contains,and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants.But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need,it is not the most important.A lawyer does not study law to recite;he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life.
His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.
