Setting of Supreme Court Cases.
Supreme Court Clerk Jose D. Sena
has set the cases for the July term
of the territorial supreme court ten
tatively so as to give attorneys an
approximate idea of the dates on
which they must appear. Instead of
being set consecutively by numbers,
the cases have been set by judicial
districts for the greater convenience
of attorneys who are requested to
have briefs filed by Jul 49, There
are 50 cases on the calendar, the
largest number since the Democrats
turned over when there were 67 cases.
The large number of cases to be dis
posed of is caused by the unsettled
condition of the membership of the
court due to untitled vacancies and
unconfirmed reappointments during
the past two years.
