The Cerman law fixes the exact fees which • aGerman hutturnoyhus to claim for all kinds of profession- al work and the rechtsanwalt can charge neither inure nor less. Thcso fees apply to all matters of the Civil Crude and of criminal eases. The amount, according to the Green Bag, depends exclusive- ly on the value of the object of con- tention. It is an okl though still unfulfilled wish of German lawyers to have a new fixed list of fees not tnade af- ter tho old and Itlw standard of the year 1670, but made wits consider- ation to the changes- the numerous decided changes sancta have taken ,lace since that scar. The rcchtsanwalt is attorney and cuntu•cllor at law in ono (in Eng- land solicitor and barrister). The r4v•httsant:alt eau neter he a busi- ness man as is the cave is the Unit- ed States. The exert ise of the law is not to bo considered a calling or profes- sion, but is to he looked on more as a public office. According to the lawyers' collo of the ilii of July, 11)7++, lawyers aro charged publicly. with certain duties. He is obliged to have his resi fleece in the lawn ur district where he is appointed (•o called residence duty). Further, he rlltltlt conduct himself in and out of office in a way befitting his professional and social standing (i.e., duty due to his rank. Thus a lawyer ii forbidden to ad- vertises in newspapers, by canvass- ing. etc.. or to buy or take over a ptra<•tice already made, as being un- worthy of Isis calling. His position in society is lr -t114)en officials and ,cholate and through custom and law he is compelled to keep the position to the last de- gree. This c•om,,ldsion to keep one's rank has given rite to the ex- istence of cumulitters called nnwalt- bkltmrnern. w'tiGFe duty itis to keep a strict wallh that no lawyer dis- honors his calling. Thew' cornmit- tees hese a strict (•(14)44 (1f punish- ment. ranging to complete expul- sion from office.
