Barer, 3 January, 1957 Horace F. Blackwell Jr PRESIDENT'S COLUMN THE MIDYEAR MEETING of The Missouri Bar is probably the more important of the two annual meetings. It is certainly the working meeting, for, at that time, the thirty-six permanent committees begin their work for the year, which culminates in their reports to the Board of Governors by September 15 for ac- tion by that Board prior to the annual meeting in September. The work of the various committees is the most im- portant single function of The Missouri Bar. Out of it has come in the past many desirable legislative and pro- cedural changes in the law of Missouri. In September, 1955, the Board of Gov- ernors adopted the new plan of admin- istration under which the number of the then existing permanent committees was reduced and the thirty-six such com- mittees remaining grouped into six dif- No. 1 ferent departments, each with a di- rector. These six directors and the of- ficers constitute an Administrative and Coordinating committee. This additional administrative level between the officers and the committee chairmen has per- mitted closer liaison and control and, if strengthened, will add much in the fu- ture to the ease and efficiency of admin- istration. The six departments and the directors for 1957 are: Improving the Administration of Jus- tice, Justice Laurance M. Hyde, Jeffer- son City. Business and Commercial Law, Robert B. Fizzell, Kansas City. Administrative Law, Professor Robert L. Howard, Columbia. Judiciary, Judge James M. Douglas, St. Louis. Service and Aid to the Public, Ronald S. Reed, St. Joseph. Bar Welfare and Professional Edu- cation, C. Wallace Walter, Springfield. On December 15, 1956, the directors met with their respective chairmen and vice-chairmen at St. Louis to discuss the work of the committees for 1957 and to begin the task of defining in writing for their successors the scope and func- tion of the six departments and the re- spective committees within each depart- ment. At the midyear meeting in Jefferson City, the committee chairmen will meet with the members of their committees on January 25 and on January 26 with their directors, who in turn will meet with the Board of Governors. I earnestly urge each member of a committee to attend the midyear meeting. Horace F. Blackwell jr, President. MEETINGS AND EVENTS 1957 Fri.-Sat. Jan. 25-26 ...
