6 Advocate 1 (1963)

handle is hein.barjournals/adisb0006 and id is 1 raw text is: Vol. 6, No. 1 Boise, Idaho January, 1963 Ne~xIPricsidont'IS By Glenn Coughlan It is time again to direct our efforts toward obtaining passage of our leg- islative program. Fortunately there are relatively few meas- ures involved. In the past we have at times spread our- selves too thin by presenting so many bills that efforts to- ward passage of the problem as a whole was ineffective and as a result some of the most important measures failed. Proposed legislation to be submitted pursuant to direct of the convention at Sun Valley is: Appropriation to provide legislative counsel Appropriation for criminal rules study Legislation providing for incorpora- tion of professional groups Repeal of Idaho Code Sec. 15-1835 (Guardian ship sales) Bill providing for number of signers of petition for election as bar com- missioners. Requirement that name of scriviner appear on documents submitted for recording. Legislation regarding Uniform Criminal Code Adoption of Administrative Practice Act Deed of trust foreclosure Providing for increase in bar license fee In addition to the above is 1961 Reso- lution No. 6 which provides for increas- ing the jurisdiction of the Probate and Justice Courts to $1,000.00 together with interest and costs. At the last general election, HJR 10 passed by the previous legislature was approved by the people. This constitutional amendment permits inferior court reform by the legislature. A conferenc has been held by your com- mission, the Supreme Court and the Dean of the law school to consider the proper steps to follow to achieve the goal of inferior court reform. It was determined at this conference that the problem was so complex and involved so many different facets effecting the entire court system, that the legislation covered by Resolution No. 6 would be pramature and deleterious to the planned program. In view of this, the Commis- rion has submitted a request to the dis- trict bar associations for permission to omit the legislation as provided by Reso- lution No. 6 from this year's legislative program. Instead, a study is recom- mended to determine what type of in- ferior court reform would be best for Idaho. Funds will be requested from the legislature to conduct the study so that necessary legislation can be pre- pared to submit to the 1965 legislature to put into effect the kind of inferior court reform that will most benefit the people. I call attention to what I consider the most important bar legislation this year, That is the legislation permitting a li- cense fee increase. Passage of this leg- islation is vital to the efficient function and growth of your bar association. We rre now operating on a deficit basis. If we are to continue to provide the excel- lent continuing legal education program, our economics of law program, properly police the profession, permit our commit- tees to function .nd keep the excellent sacrotarial and stenographic help we have had in the past, we must provide the funds which are required. I earnestly urge every lawyer to lend his support to obtaining passage of this bill and that he make this support known to his legislators.
