BAR SANCTIONS FOREIGN LAWYERS PRACTICE HERE Permission to forelrtn lawyers and lawyers from other States to get special licenses to confer with lawyers here on the law of their own Jurisdictions was granted lust night by members of the liar Association at a meeting held in their headquarters, 42 W.

44th st. A special committee headed by (jeorge W. Wickershitni, former Attorney General, reported favorably on the measure, but it was carried only by a close vote of the 70 members present. The measure will be Incorporated in a bifl which will be presented to the Stale Legislature when It meets in January. Objection to the proposal was led by Julius Henry Cohen, who believed such a mwe would lead to much corrupt practice by unethical lawyers from other Mates.

The association felt that conditions in New York City warranted the granting of special licenses to practitioners from Jurisdictions, who would be allowed only to advise the local lawyers on the law of other States and other countries. The measure denies court privileges to lawyers of other countries and States who under its provisions might attempt to practtcj in this city.
