It should be kept in mind that although California has ultimately become a judicial supremacy state, early cases recognized the power of the legislature to regulate practice

Again recently the power of the Legislature to transfer this function to this court has been declared.

The removal from the courts of the subject of the admission of attorneys and counselors to practice law in this State, and placing it within the jurisdiction and control of The State Bar, has been judicially approved

In a proceeding for admission to practice law, the contention that the State Bar Act is unconstitutional and void in so far as it purports to divest the district courts of appeal of jurisdiction to admit attorneys and that it violates the constitutional provision that every act shall embrace but one subject, which shall be expressed in its title, cannot be sustained.

State Bar Act held to repeal statute under which district courts of appeal admitted attorneys to practice

—the subject of admission to the practice of law in this state, including the procedure therefor, was governed by the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure

If it had so desired, pending the promulgation of rules of the Judicial Council, to keep in force all the provisions of the earlier section, it would not have been at pains to specify only certain portions thereof

In California, licensing and regulation of attorneys predates by decades not just the Talent Agencies Act, but all legislative attempts at licensing and regulation of talent agencies

In 1951, the Legislature excluded other courts from exercising such jurisdiction by striking language from section 6100 which conferred jurisdiction upon the Courts of Appeal and the superior courts

While the opinion in this case is lengthy, and contains an exhaustive treatment of the questions considered by the court, we think it contains nothing new upon the particular question presented to us here.
