May Change Plan Of
Examining Jurors

District judges have under consideration
q change in court procedure which would
put into the hands OF the trial judges the
preliminary examination OF Jurors, now
conducted by opposing attorneys.
At their recent meeting the judges de-
cided to investigate the merits of the
proposed plan, which was called to their
attention by Judge Sears.
The advantage OF the plan is said to be
the saving of time in jurors examina-
tions by putting the usual questions to
the entire panel following instructions
that failure to answer properly may re-
suit In prosecution for perjury.
The stereotyped queries always asked
jurors are whether they are acquainted
with the parties to the suit or their at
torneys. or whether they know any reason
why they chould not serve as fair jurors.
The Judge also would be expected to
develop other facts by individual ques-
tioning more rapidly than do lawyers.
He would ask any special questions at
the request OF a lawyer.
The method is used in the Kentucky
courts and to some extent IN federal
courts. IT is estimated that In the Doug
las county district court, one-fifth OF the
time devoted to trials is taken up now
by jurors examinations T. w. Black
burn. president OF the Omaha Bar as
ISOLATION. expressed himself as inclined
to favor the proposed change. II has
been advocated by Attorney T. ]. Ma.
honey. who observed It's working In the
4 Kentucky courts. and by Victor Rose,
water. editor Of The Bee.

Blackburn Would Go
Back to Old Plan of
Secrecy in Some Cases

An attempt to induce the judges OF the
district court TO change their new rule
forbidding attorneys to take files from
the office of the clerk is being made by
T. w. Blackburn, president OF the Omaha
Bar association. He has proposed a rule
which would require the clerk to seal up
petitions and answers in divorce cases on
request of attorneys and keep them from
becoming public until decrees are granted.
IT Is known that some OF tho judges
have expressed themselves as opposed to
secret litigation on the ground that fear
of publicity tends to deter men and
women from immoral acts.
Mr.. Blackburn asserted that the pub
fishing of divorce charges renders re-
conciliation of couples more difficult
Lawyers oppose the filing Of divorce
petitions" he said, but a large number
of persons who start divorce proceedings
afterward repent. II their angry allega-
| tions have been published 1t is more diff
ficult to effect reconcilations."
Mr.. Blackburn's statements TO tho
judges have been informal and II Is not
known whether the bar association will
take up the subject.
