"There is as much material for
good creative writing to be found
in the business of law as anywhere
else," Prof. W. L. Matthews Jr. of
the College of Law stated in a lecture given Monday at the University Library.
Prof. Matthews, who lectured on
"Popular Legal Literature," said
that there is a relative scarcity of
popular books about law and lawyers.
Reader Mistrusts Lawyer
The reader is dependent upon
the mystery story or other forms
of writings he continued. One major exception, "Mr. Tutt's Stories,"
pertains to law and also appeals to
the people, he stated.
Prof. Matthews explained that a
lack of popular legal literature is
due to a general mistrust of lawyers and a lack of understanding
of law by the people. Modern creative writers are aware of the fact,
but are unwilling to fight it, he
added.
