16 Oyez Oyez Bull. Sec. Jud. Admin. 1 (1973)

handle is hein.journals/oyzoyz16 and id is 1 raw text is: VOL. 16, No. 1 MARCH 1973 CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN William B. Jones, Chairman Judge, United States District Court At no time in our nation's history have our courts faced such challenges as they do today. There is a genuine need to inform the public fully about how our judicial system is meeting to a large degree the heavy demands being placed upon it. In an effort to help restore much needed public confidence in 46 the courts, and to foster greater public understanding of our judicial system, the main thrust of all 1973 law Day U.S.A. programs will be centered on a single, all-embracing K court theme: HELP YOUR COURTS-ASSURE JUSTICE Participating state and local bar associations in Law Day '73 programs will be asked to build their events around the 1973 Law Day theme. State and federal trial court judges will be invited to join with local bar associations in presenting meaningful programs which will explain the day-to-day workings of the courts, pinpoint the many faceted problems facing the judiciary today, and enlist the aid of all citizens in resolving these difficulties. The Conference of Chief Justices, The Judicial Con- ference of the United States, Administrative Office of the United States Courts, and The Federal Judicial Center, also have been invited to cooperate and assist in the 16th annual nationwide Law Day observance next May 1 through the presentation of courtroom programs, out-of-courtroom events, and talks keyed to the Law Day theme. All members of the Judicial Administration Division, because of this year's theme, should make a special effort to assist in planning and participating in Law Day activities on May 1. This, the 16th annual Law Day observance, furnishes us with an excellent opportunity to create a better rapport between our nation's courts and citizenry. The Bulletin of the Judicial Administration Division oyezo The Division's Committee on Courts and the Com- munity has assisted in the planning for this year's Law Day. The success of Law Day - 1973, however, depends to a very large degree on judges, lawyers and other persons whose everyday lives are inextricably involved in the daily administration of justice. I encourage each of you to contact your state or local Law Day chairman, Bar President or Bar Executive and volunteer your services in planning and arranging outstand- ing programs for the observance of this important occasion. Many excellent suggestions as to how to do this are contained in the Law Day May 1, 1973, Planning Guide and Program Manual which, during the first week of December, was mailed to all chief justices of state supreme courts, to all known 1973 state and local Law Day Chairmen and to approximately 1,000 state and local bar association execu- tive directors. Should you desire a copy of this manual for your own use, you may obtain one for $1.00 by writing: Law Day U.S.A. Observance, American Bar Association, 1155 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637. Because of the intense and widespread interest among our members in the proposed National Institute of Justice, we are reporting on a continuing basis all significant developments concerning this matter. During the period of December 6-8, 1972, the ABA Commission on a National Institute of Justice held an interdisciplinary conference in Washington, D.C., at which Association President Robert W. Meserve delivered the keynote address. We are pub- lishing the text of Mr. Meserve's remarks and a summary of the conference proceedings in this issue of Oyez! Oyez!
