SERIOUSLY OVERCROWDED
* FEW OPPORTUNITIES IN LEGAL PROFESSION [Special to the ‘Star.’] CHRISTCHURCH, April 14. Only boys definitely convinced that law was their destined vocation should attempt to enter the legal profession in New Zealand, which was undobutedly seriously overcrowded at the present time, a Christchurch solicitor asserted to-day when commenting on a similar warning issued by the president of the Auckland Law Society and the dean of the Faculty of Law at Auckland University. “ It will be very hard, even for many young men who are now about to qualify for the profession or have recently qualified, to establish themselves in a reasonably satisfactory practice,” said the Christchurch man. “ Parents, and the boys themselves, should take very serious thought before the boy decided to enter law as a profession. I would not attempt to keep out the boy who really feels that he has strong vocation for law. Any other boy who enters so crowded a calling at the present time is courting failure.”
