D. s. CRIMINAL LAW
100 YEARS BEHIND
Judge Lawson Says English
Procedure Is Superior to
American.
HE REPORTS TO SOCIETY
British Courts Are Inferior in
Other Respects, He,
Declares.
HE REPORTS TO SOCIETY

John d. Lawson, dean OF the School
of Law of the University of Missouri
and Prof. E. r. Kennedy OF the law
school of Northwestern University,
who have studied criminal law proceed
ure in England Tor four months. de-
clare American criminal law proceed
ure is century behind that of the
English.
The two jurists, after making these
investigations, returned to the United
States and reported to the American
Institute of Criminal Law and Crimi-
nology, which met in Washington with
the National and International Prison
Congresses.
while the English Courts fall be-
hind in their civil cases." said Dean
Lawson in his report, 1.-The court of
Criminal Appeals never adjourns I'M
til it has disposed Of all cases on its
calendar.
English Jury System Good.
I'VE are excelled by the English in
the handling of juries. The opposing
attorneys confer on the list of venire-
men previous to the trial and eliminate
by agreement those likely to be preju-
diced or unfit to serve. Then there
is not the likelihood of venireman be-
ing prejudiced, for the English news
papers are not allowed to try cases in
their columns in advance of the legal
trial.
IN England the judge enjoys greater
control OF the case than his American
brother. The English judge frequently
examines veniremen and witness and
strictly controls the actions OF counsel.
'srhe' English Court of Appeals can
only affirm the sentence or free the
prisoner. 1t can not order new trial.
1t quashes verdict only on the ground
of miscarriage OF justice. Its .decis-
ions, are never determined by techni-
calities."
Judge Lawson said that in some re-
spects the English courts are inferior
to American tribunals.
Government Appoints Prosecutors.
There are no regularly constituted
prosecuting attorneys in England he
said. The government employs diff
ferent barristers to prosecute in dit
ferent cases. The prosecuting barris-
ter in one case may be defending in
the next case called"
Speaking before dinner of the
American Institute of Criminal Law
and Criminology Attorney General
Wickersham said:
The procedure in criminal cases is
the same as in civil cases in that it
is in need of some improvement in the
procedure. There is no doubt that the
basic principle of American jurispru-
dence that the defendant is innocent
until proven guilty affords criminals
ample opportunity to escape justice. "
