The attorney of
an assistant not a
substitute the party
will not be so completely
in his power — But
parties procure not
sufficient with Judges
watchfulness
Suppose in English practice the Attorney or
Solicitor — in French practice the ci-devant Procureur
now the Avocé — not an assistant, but as at present
a substitute to his client, the command of the pace,
or any rate of dispatch from this source will be completely
in his hands. If instead of being a substitute
he is but an assistant, the party (his client) will
not indeed in this respect be quite so completely in his
power. But, unless the Judge is to this purpose more
especially mindful of his duty, and perpetually upon
the alert the presence of the party will not in general
suffice to preserve his interest from this sacrifice.
In comparison of the instances in which, to
the will and hardy hood, the inexperiencd client will
add the ability to maintain a contest with his experienced
assistant, those in which he is not, by want
of intellectual or active aptitude rendered unable, or
by year unwilling, will be few indeed.
