Summarize the history of prohibition on lawyers for advertising.

What will be an ideal response?


Advertising by lawyers was a common practice during the early 20th century. Elite lawyers decided to put a stop to this and, in the 1930s, supported a prohibition on advertising. Lawyers in firms were able to rely on a steady stream of business from their corporate clients and wealthy individuals and considered such advertisements as demeaning to the profession and as inconsistent with the professional stature of lawyers.
