Law reform was the chief subject of
discussion at the closing session Of the
Virginia Bar Association, held here
yesterday morning and three changes
were recommended to the Legisla-
ture.
These were the reduction of the fee
compensation OF the clerks OF the Su-
preme Court OF Appeals TO a salary
basis; the use OF typewritten, instead
of printed, court records in appeal
cases. where the cost OF printing would
ne too great; and the creation of Off
Cial experts to testify in criminal in
sanity and other cases.
The session was also characterized
Ivy an able address from Helm Bruce.
on "A Permanent international
Court" He expressed the belief that
il is sure TO come.

thanks.

annual banquet. After an elaborate

Enthusiastically by the members.
