E Stanley Gardner Law school dropout By Stanley Green E Stanley Gardner Law School dropout Erle Stanley Gardner (July 17, 1989 – March 11, 1970) was an American lawyer and author of detective stories best known for Perry Mason. Erle Stanley Gardner attended Valparaiso University Law School in Indiana for one month where he was suspended as he pursued his career in boxing. 1911 Erle passed the bar exam as a self-taught attorney. 1921 Erle opened his own law firm Sheridan, Orr, Drapeau and Gardner in Ventura, CA. (Wikipedia) College dropout Let’s contrast Erle Stanley Gardner college dropout to his counterpart peer colleagues who have graduated from law school. Who do you think should have the higher education? According to the novel Perry Mason it appears that Erle as a college dropout and self-taught lawyer is far smarter. As a matter of fact Perry Mason has become the blueprint for each criminal defense lawyer that has graduated from law school. Many professional judges, prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers have watched each episode to hone his or her legal skills to conduct criminal trials. Erle is in fact a college dropout. Sonia Marie Sotomayor Sonia Marie Sotomayor has testified under oath during her congressional hearing to vet her appointment by President Obama that Perry Mason has truly inspired her to pursue a law profession. In other words our U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice has been inspired by the novel written by Erle Stanley Gardner law school college dropout. What message does this send to our kids? If a lawyer drops out of law school and writes a detective story to become rich and famous is worthy of inspiration as Supreme Court Justice. Sotomayor should have scrutinized Perry Masson as a farce. We the People The Preamble should have served as Sotomayor’s true inspiration for pursuing her law school profession rather than Perry Mason. This is the greatest political document conceived by our nation’s Founding Fathers. It is the lawful duty of each US Supreme Court Justice to uphold the Bill of Rights and/or Civil Liberties prescribed under our First Ten Amendments. There isn’t one single case where Perry Mason has defended his client by advocating his or her Bill of Rights guaranteed under our US Constitution. As such Erle Stanley Gardner has been traveling down the wrong road. Lawyers who practice Perry Mason Would you allow a surgeon to operate on you that has dropped out of medical school? I don’t’ think so! There is no difference between attending law school or medical college. A student must clock a specific amount of classroom hours to qualify eligibility to earn his or her college degree. How in the world did Erle Stanley Gardner become a licensed professional attorney with zero classroom hours completed after dropping out of law school? Passing the bar exam should not have been sufficient proof to award a license to practice criminal law. Protection Our US Constitution is legal protection guaranteed by our Federal government. It protects the legal rights of each person regardless of his or her personal profile. It is the duty of our US Department of Justice (USDOJ) to make sure that each person is afforded equal protection in accordance to our 14 th Amendment. Any person in prison whether lawful citizen or not who has been deprived of his or her constitutional protection is entitled to remuneration. His or her criminal defense lawyer has been wrongfully practicing Perry Mason, rather than upholding the legal protection of clients. 225,000 veterans behind bars The United States of America has 225,000 veterans behind bars. This isn’t a fantasy like Perry Mason. Instead, we have men and women that have secured our liberty, but can’t enjoy his or her own freedoms. He or she may have been convicted, because his or her criminal defense lawyer didn’t truly understand how to defend his or her legal client. In other words, they have attempted practicing law after Perry Mason that ultimately lead to his or her felony conviction. I hope to raise public awareness that Erle Stanley Gardner was a college dropout that never graduated law school. Are you a ccollegeollege graduategraduate???? Are you a college graduate? Maybe you understand why it is important to complete your college education. Of course now there is no shame if a student were to drop out of college. Many have become rich and famous like Erle Stanley Gardner. Yet, in our society we honor college graduates as making achievements. Often times there may be employees working on regular jobs with degrees earning less pay than co-workers with less education. The latter shouldn’t be the case in our American society. .
