Constitutional Code.
Question. Why exclude Law Assistants from the capacity
of being located or officiating as Judges?
Answer. Because in quality of his professional a Law
Assistance in the pay of a litigant party litigant, acts under
the impulse of an interest incurably adverse to the
several ends of justice.
In the case of a Judge this is in a no less degree true
but in the case of the Judge the correspondent propensity is susceptible
of checks such as when united afford a promise
of being effectual: not so in the case of the his assistant
of a party litigant engaged in his service by hire.
In the case of the Judge, disrepute is attached
to the exercise of a partiality adverse to the ends of justice:
not so in the case of the hired Law-assistant.
In the case of the Judge, any acting under the eye
of the Public Tribunal Opinion Tribunal, as under the here
here proposed system, to signal partiality can scarcely have
place and act with effect without being sufficiently
manifest, and in such sort manifest as to it be perceptible
to several authorities in the power of any one of
which it is to remove him out of his situation to dislocate him: whereas, in the case of
the hired Law Assistant, whose intercourse with his
principal client is carried on in secret, unjust partiality having
for its effect and object the assisting a party him howsoever widely in the wrong
to make gain the suit as if he were in the right, may
have place, and to an unlimited extent, have place without being
to any eyes perceptible.
