Jobs in Law 'Most Interesting,' Says Sutherland in Career Forum

"Law is the most interesting career a man can have; it opens many doors," declared Arthur E. Sutherland, professor of Law at the second career conference held in Eliot House last night.

He named "transparent candor, energy, and a liking for mankind," as the three most important attributes of a young man "marked for success in law."

The diversity of opportunities offered by an education in law was the main theme of speeches by three lawyers at the forum. Sutherland acted as moderator. John Barker, Jr., general council of the New England Life Insurance Co., Lloyd K. Garrison '19, partner in a New York firm, and Louis Loss, professor of Law here, spoke on corporation law, opportunities in the large law firms, and law in government.

Garrison stressed the importance of choosing between the city life and the large law firm, and the more general practice in a small-town law firm.

"And if you find you don't like being a lawyer, your training in the law will make you welcome anywhere," he added.
