handle is hein.journals/oyzoyz4 and id is 1 raw text is: BULLETIN of the of Judicial Administration Vol. 4, No. 1 May 10, 1961 THE CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN The ABA year which will come to an end with the Annual Meeting in St. Louis next August has been a busy one for the Section of Judicial Administration. It is a primary function of the Section to be of serv- ice to all concerned in furthering improvements in the administration of justice. At the beginning of the year it was a matter of first importance to find a new Ad- ministrative Assistant and Director of State Activities to replace F. B. MacKinnon who resigned last August be- cause of illness. We believe that the Section is particular- ly fortunate in the selection of Ernest C. Friesen, Jr. to fill that most important position. Thanks to the good of- fices of Judge Joe Ewing Estes, the First Vice-Chairman of the Section, Mr. Friesen was persuaded to relinquish his place on the faculty of the School of Law of the Uni- versity of Cincinnati and take charge of the Chicago of- fice of the Section. We are indebted to Dean Roscoe 3ar- row for releasing Mr. Friesen on something less than a month's notice so that he could start his work for the Section on February 1. A biographical sketch of Mr. Frie- sen appears elsewhere in this issue of The Bulletin. He has already evidenced his talent and ability to discharge the responsibilities of his new undertaking. The Section has been equally fortunate in inducing Wil- liam B. West, III, of Fort Worth, Texas, to become the Editor of The Bulletin of the Section. Mr. West is United States Attorney for the Northern District of his State. Here again, the Section is indebted to Judge Estes, a Judge of the United States District Court for that Dis- trict. Working closely with Mr. Friesen, the new editor of The Bulletin is planning four issues of The Bulletin each year to bring you news of the Section. The next issue of The Bulletin will bring you in full the program for the annual meeting of the Section in St. Louis. Beginning with the two-day program of the Na- tional Conference of State Trial Judges on August 5 and 6, the program includes panel discussions of the impor- tance of judicial councils and judicial conferences and some new angles in court administration. Another panel of experts will offer a comparison of pretrial procedures in courts-martial and in the civil courts. The participants include Chief Justice Walter V. Schaefer of Illinois and Chief Justice Laurance M. Hyde of Missouri, and Major General Charles L. Decker, the Judge Advocate General of the Army. Mr. Henry R. Luce, Editor in Chief of Time, Life and Fortune, will be the speaker at the Annual Dinner in honor of the Judiciary. If you have not already made your plans to be in St. Louis for the Annual Meet- ing of the Section, it's not too late to do so now. Philbrick McCoy, Chairman ERNEST C. FRIESEN, JR. Administrative Assistant and Director of State Activities FRIESEN NAMED ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT On February 1 Ernest C. Friesen, Jr., assumed the post of Administrative Assistant and Director of State Activi- ties of the Section. Friesen, who is 32 years of age, re- places F. B. MacKinnon, who resigned in August 1960 because of illness. The post has been vacant since that time. Prior to assuming his new duties with the Section, Frie- sen was an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Cincinnati, where he taught courses in contracts, civil procedure, employees rights, code pleading, federal prac- tice and procedure, mortgages, tax litigation, and legal aspects of industrial medicine. In 1960 he was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship in Public Affairs to study the pre-trial conference, its procedures, techniques and effects. He was admitted to practice in New York in 1955 and is a member of the American and Federal Bar Associations. After graduation from Columbia Law School, where he was a Harlan Fiske Stone scholar and a class officer, Friesen became associated with a New York City law firm. From 1956 to 1958 he was employed in the Department of Justice as a Trial Attorney with the Tax Division. In this capacity he represented the United States
