JUDICIAL REFORM.

A S a result of the statements OF Mr. Taft
n concerning the defects in the American
judicial system, and a further report OF the COM
mittee of the American Bar Association, some
changes are likely to be made The lawyers are
coming to realize what the laymen have long
thought that in many places the administration
of Justice is hampered by obstacles that greatly
interfere with the due process of law.
Andrew D. White formerly president OF the
Cornell University is the chairman of the COM
mittee of the Bar Association, which has had
legal reform under consideration The report OF
the committee will be presented at a meeting OF
the association to be held in Seattle, Washing
ton, this month In the report are many rec
concentrations of changes.
The report is likely to be accepted by the as
sociation, which will therefore seek to bring
about reforms that seem imperative
Among the changes suggested by the commit
tee for reform in Federal Court procedure are
those which would expedite trials of cases pre-
vent the reversal of judgments on technical
grounds, enabling appellate courts to render
final judgments on the merits Of cases instead of
ordering new trials and prevent appeals for de-
lays in criminal cases.
There will probably be objection to the recon-
mendation of the committee that Appellate
courts shall pass upon the merits OF a case. This
would be lifting verdcts out of the hands OF
juries for those who were dissatisfied with the
decisions of the lower courts could simply take
an appeal 70 nlgner court ana there WOuld De
trial by judges and not trial by iuries.
The criticism OF the committee that under
present practice the trial of a case SIS game in
which the one wins who plays most sklfully, the
merits of the case having no part is probably
justified by the court practice in many OF the
larger cities, especially in New York But il
this is true, is not sub a condition owing chiefly
to the conduct of the judges who try the cases
For instance, in this State, court does not con-
sumo weeks in getting a jury in an important
case, and the mass of legal techncalities does
not climb mountain high, as in other courts.
The committee denounces the unrestricted
right to a writ of error in criminal cases
as a fragrant abuse of judicial procedure. Prob
ably true, in many courts but in such courts it
must be considered the fault of the judges.
The Bar Association was aroused, however, 10
consider these matters by the increase in the
number of murders throughout the country, and
the ineffectveness of the legal process TO
bring the murderers to justice In the light of
recent cases the report of the committee says,
Sin New York and elsewhere the legal processes
are almost farccal.' They surely are farcical in
New York city.
