The idea of limiting access to the practice of law, however uncomfortable the thought might have made many lawyers feel, increasingly found support among two factions in the organized bar. Since the 1920s, law school programs had been plagued by a consistently high failure rate in the first and, to a lesser extent, second years of education. For some the explanation was quite clear; the fault lay with the admission standards employed by the schools. A second faction believed that the problem of too many attorneys was a consequence of there being too many law schools. For this group the problem arose from the differences that existed between the university-affiliated law schools and "proprietary" schools, those that were not associated with any university and offered evening programs and less formal methods of instruction.
