Official Monthly Publication of the Mississippi State Bar VOLUME XVII JANUARY, 1970 NUMBER 1 PLI Seminar Tapes The Practising Law Institute, in keeping with its purpose to serve the continuing education of the Bar, has just completed arrangements to offer certain of its semi- nars condensed on audio tape cassettes. Under a Pcensing agreement with Con- dyne, Inc., specialists in audio education, the valuable and practical material pre- sented at many PLI seminars will also be made available to attorneys on cassettes. Condyne will produce and distribute the tape cassettes. E. Donald Shapiro, Director of the Practising Law Institute, said of the agree- ment, We at PLI continually seek means of disseminating the information gathered at our seminars to an even greater audience. The cassette program makes it possible for PLI's educational efforts to reach many thousands of lawyers who otherwise would not benefit from them. Continuing legal education offers us the opportunity to experiment, to try new techniques and methods to reach lawyers and reach them effectively - not only in keeping them current, but in dealing with the far greater problems of creating higher skills and training for specialization, Mr. Shapiro added. Detailed informat:on on the tape cas- sette program may be obtained by writing to Condyne, Inc., 530 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10036.

Ten Ways Lawyers Can Help The Cause of Peace By Charles S. Rhyne President, World Peace Through Law Center An idea can be more powerful than an atom. Especially is this true of an idea whose time has come. The time of a world peace system built out of law will arrive in our day if we of the law profession assume adequate leader- ship. By providing leadership in making the time of peace under law arrive we will lift the hearts and hopes of all peoples. We will also provide for all peoples a new faith in their future for the eons of time stretching out before them. To avoid misunderstanding, let me say that I do not contend that a World peace structure built out of law will cure all the ills of man. Imperfect human beings run nations and conduct international contacts and they are certain to have disputes. Law rules can only lessen their number and provide for their peaceful decision. While a law system is not perfect, it is still the best concept yet conceived by the mind of Man for conduct of relations among men and nations. I believe that lawyers of many nations must work together to build peace with law, and do so with the widest vision of a com- mon humanity. The world's people are act- ing and thinking more and more as one. Much greater international cooperation is necessary today than in the past. Especially is this true of the overriding desire for a new world peace system which will end forever the archaic ancient ritual of deciding disputes between nations by the sacrifice of human lives. How do we or the law utilize our capacity to achieve and maintain a human condition of world peace? I believe there are 10 specific things lawyers of the world can do for this universal cause. First, we must drive home to all mankind the fact that the peacemaking machinery of the world is archaic and inadequate for today's world and requires a fundamental change in the way order is maintained. We must spell out plans and programs to supply the fundamental change which is required [r. strengthening law into a peace frame- wor'k capable of creating a peaceful world (Continued on Page 5)
