handle is hein.journals/oyzoyz1 and id is 1 raw text is: Oyez! Oyez! Vol. 1. No. 1 Section of Judicial Administration American Bar Association Nov. 1, 1957 J. A. S. Has Ambitious Year's Program Rule Making; Law and the Layman; Tasks of the Trial Judge; Post Con- viction Remedies are Among Sub- jects on its Agenda. Upon entering its 45th year, twenty of which have been under its present name, the Judicial Adminis- tration Section has announced an impressive program of activities. In addition to completing its work in the field of expert medical testimony under the Chairman- ship of Judge David W. Peck; its handbook on the Grand Jury under the leadership of Judge Richard Hartshorne; and its survey on metropolitan trial courts headed by Judge Ira W. Jayne, J.A.S. is also con- tinuing its general programs on appellate practice and procedure, pre-trial techniques, administrative offices for the courts, docket controls, and other procedural improvements. Adopting a new approach, J.A.S. has also put into motion five specific programs which it will offer at American Bar Association meetings this year, and make available to all 48 of the State Com- mittees of the Section upon request for presentation at city and state bar meetings. The five programs include: I. The Rule Making Function and the Judicial Conference. This is a study of the proposal that the Congress amend the present law so as to permit the Judicial Conference of the United States to carry on a con- tinuous study of the general rules of practice and procedure in the federal courts, as more fully ex- plained in the accompanying article on the Louisville program. Mr. Justice Stanley Reed is the Chairman of the program and the committee includes Chief Judge John Biggs, Jr. of the Third Circuit, Justice Laurence Hyde of the Supreme Court of Missouri, and Professor James W. Moore of the Yale Law School. The first program of this Committee will be pre- sented at the Regional Meeting of the ABA at Louisville on November 7th.

First Session Subject At Louisville Nov. 7. At the Ohio Valley Regional Meeting of the Asso- ciation at Louisville, Nov. 7-9, 1957, J.A.S. will offer a timely program of special interest to those concerned with practice and procedure in the Federal Courts. The program will center around the proposal that the Congress authorize the Judicial Conference of the United States to conduct a continuous study of the general rules of practice and procedure in the federal courts with the power to make recommendations to the Supreme Court as to changes therein. The Supreme Court alone would have the authority to make final recommendations as to such changes to the Congress, and the latter, as at present, would have the final say as to their effectiveness. Under the present system the Supreme Coun formu- lates the rules from recommendations made by com- mittees appointed by it and composed of lawyers, judges, and law professors. The last of these com- mittees, headed by former Attorney General Mitchell, was discharged a year or so ago, having completed its immediate task. Under the proposal the Judicial Conference, through committees appointed by the Chief Justice, would carry on a continuous study of (Continued on Page 2)
