then when you come up to tenure, to offer opportunity

2

for someone else to run against the incumbent, of course,

3

I can see the only thing that it will do is add to his

4

insecurity and make it more difficult to get the right

5

man to take that office in the first place, because

6

perhaps it is almost a general rule that people who have

7

real merit also have a certain measure of humility and

8

are not so cocksure that somebody batter may not come

9

along at another time. And when a lawyer gives up his

10

clients, they go to somebody else and he may be able to

11

build a practice again sometime, he will never get those

12

clients back. And that is something for a good lawyer

13

to think about and that is why there are these two

14

stendr.rds; the one standard on initial selection, to get

15

the very best man that you can, but then on tenure, at

16

the time that he comes up at the end of his term, the

17

question should not be then, who is the best man we could

18

get for this job, because this man has given up his

19

clients end takes the job, and there is a moral obliga-

20

tion to him if he is doing a good job, he should be

21

returned and that should ba the only question.
