Jacques Fortin told the Ca- In an interview, later, Mr. Hooper said a student socn finds out about things like negotiating capital murder chitges down to manslaughter. "These kind of things are very much inevitable a student should be aware of them before he leaves school," Mr.

Hooper said. Stuart Ryan, of Queen's University, said that in his 17 years as a criminal lawyer he never once induced tiie crown to drop a prosecution. "What's more. I have never heard of any other lawyer making deals." he added. Mr.

Grosman, who quickly changed the word "deal" to "certain flexibility," said perhaps a student should be made aware of such things so he could stay away from them.

"It's a real handicap getting through to brilliant students, because they don't want to make criminal law a career," Mr. Fortin said. Brian Grosman. of McGUl University, said Quebec's criminal lawyer "characterized as a manipulator and involved in politics," is not being joined by the "first rate" law students. Mr.

Grosman said a young lawyer is "left standing at the gate" after his first real court case. "He doesn't have the knowledge of the pre-trial negotiating process." Mr. Grosman said, referring to the "exchanges of kindness" between attorneys, officers and lawyers which often take place before trials begin. Anthony Hooper, a University of British Columbia professor, sharply interrupted Mr. Grosman when he said these informalities have low visibility."

Mr.

Grosman said. "And because a law teacher can't put on blinders to behavioral sciences, he often has a haphazard approach to common law." Mr. Fortin said most students have a "taxi driver's knowledge" of criminal law, not very specialized nor academic. "When it comes to learning criminal law. it's hard to find a working principle because a code Lsn't yet complete," Mr.

Fortin added. The three-day annual meeting of the Association of Canadian Law Teachers continues at Ottawa University today and tomorrow. Legal aid said threat Bank at AAtTED Albert 233-5195 We Deliver It may look like other 12 portable TV sets, to courts Legal aid could soon clog up the court system. Stuart Ryan, a Queen's University law professor, warned the Canadian Law Teachers Association Wednesday. Ontario's new legal aid system has been swamped by more than 100.000 applications during the last two months.

"We're not able to investigate the means of the clients as fast as their applications are coming in," Mr. Ryan said. Brian Grosman of McGill University said an "overburdened" court system wouldn't be as serious as innocent clients pleading guilty to lesser charges "because he'll be a free man tomorrow." Also, "if lawyers can make more under jury trial than in magistrate's court, everyone will opt for jury trial." Mr. Grosman said. The McGill law professor said if a lawyer can earn $300 per day for a jury trial and S100 per day for magistrate's court, he'll obviously stick to judge and jury.
