SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES
WILL MEET HERE TUESDAY
Revision of Court Procedure
and Criminal Laws Are to Be
Subjects of Meeting

At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the SUI
perior court judges of Georgia win con-
vene in the senate chamber at the state
capitol in Atlanta for the first session
that they have held In several years.
There is no regular organization of the
judges, who assemble from time to time
at irregular intervals when meetings are
considered necessary.
The primary purpose OF the meeting
that begins Tuesday to last through
Wednesday and Thursday, is to consider
revision In the rules of superior court
procedu These rules are formulated
by the judges themselves, and are main
ly uniform throughout the state. That
is the first purpose stated in the call for
the meeting.
Another subject which the assembled
judges viii consider Is the ACCESSIBILITY
OF changes in the criminal laws of Geor-
gia, to bring them more up to date. Sug-
gestions along this line were requested
from the judges by the general assem-
bly, of the state last summer, in a resolu-
ton that was passed una nimously. 1t Is
probable that amendments in the exist
ing criminal laws will be based upon the
judges re concentrations.
Judge w. III. FELTON,, of the Macon cir
cult, a M aeon, who is the senior judge
of Georgia, signed the call for the meet
ing, and will preside
There are 80 superior court judges in
the state. 1t is expected tina. nearly all
of them will attend the meeting.
Several social events have been ar
aiged in honor of the visiting judges.
One Of these will be the reception at the
University club Tuesday afternoon
