Proceedings Of The Sixty-Eighth Annual Meeting OfT he Arkansas Bar Association The President's Report Courtney C. Crouch President, Arkansas Bar Association - The meaningful FOREWORD from his address at the 68th Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Bar Association, June 9-10, 1966, as recorded in the Arkansas Law Review, Volume 20, Fall 1966, Number 3, at pages 249-254 "Let me begin this report by expressing to each of you my deep appreciation for the honor of serving as your President. The spirit of cooperation of the entire Bar has been the most gratifying and heartwarming experience of my life. Never once has anyone said, 'I am too busy. I do not have the time.' But to the contrary, when we have called upon you for help, the enthusiastic response has been exceeded only by the enthusiasm with which the assignments have been carried out. Our profession has come a long way in recent years in improving its public image. We have individually and collectively recognized our responsibilities as guardians of the law, and have sought ways and means of improving and simplifying the law and the administration of justice. We have also recognized that we must give the public a more competent, efficient and better brand of legal service. We have not been entirely unselfish in these endeavors, as we have realized that a by-product of improved public relations is more confidence in our profession on the part of the public, which means that more people will consult the lawyer when faced with legal problems. Too many times the public has sought the advice of the banker, the accountant, the abstracter, the notary public, or the neighbor who once sat on a jury, rather than to seek the advice and counsel of a lawyer. I hope the day of the shade-tree lawyer is fast disappearing. I think that you will agree with me that we could not have possibly made the strides that have been made in recent years without an organized Bar geared to a program dedicated to improving the standards of the legal profession."
