Constitutional Procedure Code.Ch. Costs

In the hands of the Advocate what now is its
fate?

The most amount of those whose practice is at
the Judiciary in question is the Advocate whose it
is now the study and endeavour be at the commencement
of the suit it has been the cause of the Attorney to retain.
But the more eminent he is the greater is the quantity of his
business: and the greater the quantity of his business
in the aggregate of his causes, the less is the quantity of time and
attention which he can bestow upon apply to each one in particular
ones: woe be to that suitor whose brief comes accompanied
with what in the eyes of the Advocate is a
too scanty fee.

Of the number of Advocates employed two is the minimum,
instances are not wanting of its being swollen to ten
instances are not have not been altogether wanting. Two or ten. Ten or
two one of them at least is as useless as he is indispensable:
the of the junior the business is to utter a few words
by which neither statement nor argument were so much as
pretended to be afforded. With this encumbrance must be
clogged the most simple and at the same time trivial
suit: many are the suits in which the value in dispute
equals not the amount of the fee of this one useless and falsely pretended Advocate.

If the object of the suit be not altogether trifling
one, two or more are rising one above another in difficulty
are interposed between the ineffective and the
supposed superlatively effective orator. From any such
multiplication of effective questionable and precarious is indeed
the advantage. Of each one below the leader head the dependance
is on the leader. By him each one his superior
discernment and skill each inferior what any other could
find to say is a will, according to a calculation naturally
suggested by natural be anticipated.
