handle is hein.journals/oyzoyz12 and id is 1 raw text is: The Bulletin of the Section of Judicial Administration OyCZ!I oyez! VOL. 12, NO. 1 FEBRUARY 1969 CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN To the members of the Section of Judicial Administration The Council of our section will meet in Chicago on Sunday, January 26,1969, in connection with the mid year meeting of the American Bar Association. On our agenda will be many items of interest, including consideration of the report of the ABA Special Com- mittee on Automobile Accident Reparations, which has recently been filed and will be considered by the House of Delegates at its meet- ing on January 27-28. The report concerns a highly controversial subject of great public interest. The report is lengthy, but the American Bar Association plans to make copies available at cost. If you wish ustice Wm. McAllister a copy please write to the Division of Public Service Activities at the American Bar Center. We will also consider committee reports concerning Advocacy, Court Administration, Crime Prevention and Control, and the Judicial Reform Act of 1968. The work of the ABA Project on Minimum Standards for Criminal Justice, of which our section is a component, is making steady progress. Two Advisory Committee reports will soon be published and distributed, one dealing with Criminal Appeals and the other with Discovery and Procedure Before Trial. These and two other reports dealing with the role of Prosecuting Attorneys and Defense Counsel which are nearing completion will be considered by the Council of the Section later this year and submitted to the House of Delegates at the August 1969 meeting. Also meeting in Chicago during the midyear meeting will be the executive committees of our affiliated organiza- tions, the Appellate Judges' Conference and the National Conference of State Trial Judges and our Standing Com- mittee on Traffic Court Program. In addition to transact- ing routine business these groups will be planning programs for the annual meeting in Dallas. The section and its affiliated organizations will be housed in Dallas at the Statler-Hilton Hotel. Since the space is limited early registration is recommended. Our Membership Committee is active and our member- ship is increasing. Glenn Jack of Oregon City, a new member of the Board of Governors, wrote to all ABA (Continued on page 2) APPELLATE JUDGES' CONFERENCE REPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE APPELLATE JUDGES' CONFERENCE Last Fall, a questionnaire regarding the proposed National Court Assistance Act was sent to each member. Slightly more than twenty-five per cent answered and the result of the poll is quite revealing. Stated in percentages, 13% favored passage of the bill, 44% were opposed, and 43% favored the bill in principle but only if the federal financing were funneled through an agency such as a proposed National State Courts Center rather than an agency controlled by the Federal Government. Thus it is obvious that the great majority of the re- Justice David Carmody sponding appellate judges are against the legislation as presently proposed. The Executive Committee of the Conference spent a full day in Chicago the latter part of January, formulating plans for the meeting in Dallas. Our meetings will be held on August 9th and 10th, and the Committee believes an outstanding program will be presented. Complete informa- tion as to subjects and participants will be sent to all members as soon as possible. In addition to the program itself, the members of the Conference have been asked to join with the Conference of State Trial Judges for a social gathering on Friday evening, August 8th, and the Appellate Judges' Conference will have its own social hour on the late afternoon of August 9th. Not to be forgotten are two luncheons to be held on August 9th and 10th, both of which are joint efforts of the Conference of State Trial Judges and the Appellate Judges' Conference - our Conference hosts one luncheon and the Trial Judges the other. It is not too early, and it may soon be too late, for members to make reservations at the hotel of their choice in Dallas. Mark your calendar and make your reservations now so that you can meet old friends and make new ones! DAVID W. CARMODY Justice, Supreme Court of New Mexico Chairman (9
