handle is hein.barjournals/adisb0002 and id is 1 raw text is: Vol. 2, No. 1 October, 1958 Boise, Idaho - C - . - il - - - President Spear To Visit Local Bars Late In October In accordance with the plans of Clay V. Spear, President of the Idaho State Bar, to visit with each of the local bar districts, his itinerary through Southern Idaho has been announced for the last week in October. President Spear plans first a luncheon meeting with the combined Third and Seventh District Bars In Boise on Wed- nesday, October 29th. That evening he will meet with the Fourth and Eleventh District Bars in Twin Falls, and on the following day a noon meeting is being scheduled with the Ninth and Twelfth District Bars in Idaho Falls. On Thurs- day evening October 30th, the president plans to meet with the Southeastern and Sixth District Bars either in Pocatello or Blackfoot, the exact place to be announced. Each of the local presidents is being contacted regarding these meetings, and although the dates are presently tenta- tive, it is expected that they will be con- firmed before the last week in October. The northern bars will be contacted at a later date, as those areas are more accessible to the president and will not require a special trip. Bar Announces Successful September Candidates The Idaho State Bar congratulated the following persons this last week for suc- cessfully passing the September bar ex- am: John Joseph McAvoy, Worley, Idaho; Richard King Smith, Leland Lamont Jones, and Howard Ira Manweiler, all of Moscow; Gordon Siddoway of Sugar City and Richard B. Kading, Boise. Paul B. Ennis, Secretary, pointed out that the present method of grading bar examination papers tends to shorten con- siderably the period between the time (Continued on page 3) Without fanfare and with only the usual confusion, we hereby in- augurate Volume 2 of The Advocate Uniform Law Commissioners Consider Commercial Code The Uniform Commercial Code was the most prominent uniform law discuss- ed at the National Conference of Com- missioners on Uniform State Laws held in Los Angeles, August 18 through 22, according to Willis E. Sullivan, Boise attorney and one of the Idaho Commis- sioners on Uniform Laws. This new code, which would replace the existing Nego- tiable Instruments law, the Uniform Sales Act and Conditional Sales Act, and would modify other branches of the law, including partnership and banking laws, will be considered at the Idaho Commissioners on Uniform Laws meet- ing to be held in Boise, November 15, 1958. Mr. Sullivan pointed out that the Ida- ho Commissioners on Uniform Laws are completely independent of the Idaho Bar, being appointees of the Governor. A. L. Merrill, Pocatello attorney, is Chairman (Continued on page 5) Prosecuting Attorney Candidates Listed (Because the office of prosecuting at- torney in each county is one in which lawyers have a professional interest, The Advocate has attempted to compile a list of all the candidates for this office throughout the state. Since our sources of information have been limited, we hasten to explain that this is not an of- ficial list. The reporter assigned this task did the best he could within the time allowed, and in the event there are omissions from the list, we hereby apolo- gize. Ed.) Ada: Sylvan Jeppeson (D); William C. Roden (R). Adams: Carl H. Swanstrom (D). (Continued on page 7) Criminal Procedure Being Explained In Traffic Court Mefiings At a conference of Southwestern Po- lice magistrates, justices of the peace and probate judges held in Boise on September 25th, a new manual setting forth criminal procedures in inferior courts was presented and explained. The conference was the first of six scheduled to be held throughout Idaho during Sep- tember and October for the purpose of acquainting members of the judiciary enforcing traffic laws with at least par- tial solutions to their many problems. Supreme Court Justice Hen r y McQuade, moderator of the conference, pointed out that these members of the judiciary are of extreme importance in that most of the traffic charges in the state are completely handled in their courts. He urged the persons present to become acquainted with the information necessary to provide effective courts, and suggested particularly that jail sen- tences be considered in many cases where only fines are imposed at the present time. The panel at the Boise meeting was composed of Justice McQuade, as moder- ator, District Judge Gilbert C. Norris from the Seventh Judicial District, Wil- liam C. Roden of the Attorney General's office, Earl Koehler, Commissioner of Law Enforcement, and Harold Davis, State Safety Director. The panel presid- ed at a question and answer period in which they reported that many perti- (Continued on page 3) State Bar Commission To Meet October 31 st No Hallowe'en tricks or treats have been planned, but Paul Ennis, Secretary of the State Bar Commission, has an- nounced that the commission will hold a meeting in Boise on Friday, October 31st.
