"Law is one of the principal literary professions," said William L. Prosser, and no truer or more pertinent statement can be made. For a lawyer spends as much time reading and writing during his life time as a writer. This is not to categorically state that every lawyer can become a writer and every writer a lawyer, but he demands of both profession are similar, and time permitting the two are compatible.
