It PAYS TO APPEAL
Madison Attorney Claims the Su'
preme Court Reverses ] of
the Cases Appealed
SUPREME COURT REPORTS

It pays sometimes to appeal a case
to the Supreme Court.
Y According to a compilation made by
Attorney Geo. w. bird of Madison,
more than one-third Of the cases ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court at Madi-
son have either been reversed or sent
back for trial Mr.. Bird declares that
the uncertainties of the law are well
illustrated by the recent Wisconsin
Supreme Court report.
"There were ninety cases reported
in this volumneo said Mr.. Bird
"eight-eight of which were appeals
from trial courts and two were appli
cations to the Supreme Court for the
exercise of its original jurisdiction.
Of the Lightweight cases appealed,
thirty-three were reversed and fifty
three affirmed and two modified and
affirmed Thus more than one-third,
indeed more than 38 per cent of the
cases appealed were reversed"
Mr.. Bird said the cause of this was
imperfect trials by the attorneys which
results in some one or more Judges dis
senting on 10 per cent of the Supreme
Court cases tried Another factor was
that the trial judge did not give the
case the attention needed. He finds
that the number of reversals by the
Supreme Court are about evenly d.
vided between jury cases and court
cases. "The liability for error in
jury cases is much greater and it is
rather remarkable that so many court
cases should be reversed" says Mr..
Bird.
cit is this greater liability to error
| in jury cases that has occasioned the
growing preference for trials by the
court which has prevailed the last few
years and is still on the increase he
concludes.
