8 Oyez Oyez Bull. Sec. Jud. Admin. 1 (1965)

handle is hein.journals/oyzoyz8 and id is 1 raw text is: The Bulletin of the Section of Judicial Administration VOL. 8, NO. 1 JANUARY, 1965 oyiez! oyez! CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN To the members of the Section of Judicial Administration: I want to devote this column entirely to our member- ship campaign, which is outlined in the neighboring column by our Membership Committee Chairman, Judge Finley. The growing scope of Section activities and other effective contributions to the administration of justice the country over are noteworthy accomplishments and service to the nation's lawyers and judges and to the public at large. I can note only one deficiency in our program and prospects for increasing its effectiveness. The work of the Section is not supported by a suffi- cient number of the mem- bers of the Association. It is understandable that with the many demands on lawyers and judges in their own communities, most of us cannot do much at a na- tional level. But regardless of the extent, if any, to David W. Peck which anyone can partici- pate in the work of the Sec- tion, all lawyers and judges should recognize the impor- tance of that work to Bench and Bar everywhere. I would think therefore that with a moment's reflection on being invited to join the Section, nearly every member of the American Bar Association would be glad to join, as surely the administration of justice is a matter of interest to all lawyers, whatever their special or personal intert-t may be. Certainly all judges who are members of the Association should be members of the Section. The Section dues are nominal, in the amount of $3.00. A large membership even with these small dues can provide the Section with needed financing. Of equal importance is to have on our membership rolls, and thus identified with the Section, as many members of the ABA as we can get. You will find attached to this newsletter a member- ship application. May I ask through this column, each member of the Section to use this application to bring in at least one additional member. It is so easy to do. All you have to do is put the application in your pocket and extend the invitation to the next member of the Association you meet. He will almost surely sign up forthwith, and you will have made a very worthwhile contribution to the Section. I would be pleased if you would return this application to me personally at my office, 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005. If you are willing to take a hand at bringing in more than one other member to the Section, I would be happy to send you as many more applications as you think that you might use. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE LAUNCHED TOWARD GOAL OF 10,000 By Justice Robert C. Finley Chairman, Membership Committee, Olympia, Washington The goal of the membership committee is 10,000 members for the Section of Judicial Administration. Considering a) the significance of the work and pro- gramming of the Section, b) its record of constructive contributions in improving judicial administration and the administration of justice in the United States, and c) with the interest and ideals of lawyers, judges, and law teachers definitely and demonstrably along these lines, I am not only hopeful about the goal of 10,000, I am optimistic that it can be, should be, and will be accomplished. My reasoning is fairly simple: First, increasing the mem- bership of the Section of Judicial Administration is mportant, not just in terms of numbers. The goal is a constructive one because it will mean, among other things, a substantially larger budget, strengthening the taff, and the effectiveness of the program and the work >f the Section. The program- ming of the Section, part cularly in recent years, has provided incentive, inform tion, know-how, and helpful assistance in achieving not vorthy improvements in the courts and the administratic i of justice in many juris- dictions. This has been in tei is of structure, personnel, operations and more efficient ianagement and adminis- (Continued o page 3)
