ASSOCIATION
ADVOCATES CHANGES
Favor Tribunal Of Cancellation to
Settle Differences Out
Of Court.

EolsSO, ~. ~ aus ~. : "a
portant legal changes We're taken up
yesterday by the North Dakota Bar
association, that were adopted as re.
ported by committees. and efforts
will be made to have them incorpor.
ated into the laws of this state.
In a paper written by 6. w. New.
ton of Bismarck, on "A Duty OF Law.
yers," which was read before the con-
~vention by Attorney A. w. Cupler OF
this city, he made the suggestion that
there be established in this state a
tribunal of Cancellation before which
parties to litigation may come to set
tie their cases out Of court.
The paper called attention to the
fact that suth a plan was being used
in Wisconsin and that it has been a
very great factor in %expediting the
work of the courts, being q means OF
taking from the regular calendar a
es for settlement and making way
for such cases as actually come on
hearing.
The paper pointed out that In Wis.
consin from one-ffth to one-third OF
the cases originally docketed found
their way in the tribunal OF concilia-
ton. The paper also suggested that
the matter be considered by the state
abr association.
The North Dakota Bar association
received and adopted the recommend
alton and the matter was placed IN
the hands of the committee on law
reforms to take up more fully.
The general belief among the bar
risters Is that such an institution
would be a great benefit to the entire
state. as it would bring such cases
where there is q chance OF settle
ment together with the principals and
| attorneys before a regularly constl-
tuted tribunal for the purpose OF as
| cussing ways and means for seltllhs
their differences out OF court.
Probate Code Revision.
The committee on the revision or
he probate code made a report snow
ing that it would be necessary to
make an entire revision and the com
mittee suggested that the matter ne
n}aced in the hands Of an especially
appointed revising committee to make
the changes for this committee 10
confer with a Legislative commlttee
appointed at the next legislative as
sembly, to go over the revision thor
oughly and present itiin the assembly,
for passage. $780,. -
The probate code, it is believed. IS
in, need of general changing n ior

ed the. recommendations of the ccm'
mittee on probate code REVISION.
