Madison-TEo measures Of great
Importance 10 the practice of law OF

during the session.
One Of the measures has already
been introduced and is a joint cOnsti-
tutional amendment resolution pToyid-
ing that no law passed by the legisla-
ture shall be declared unconstitutional
By the supreme court without the con-
currence Of at least all but one Of the
judges. AS the law now stands, the
vote of the majority of the court is
sufficient TO declare a law unconstitu-
tional and thus TO render il inopera-
tive.
The other measure Of importance in
regard 10 practice VIII be bill, which
is being drafted, 10 provide that NO
verdict in Z negligence action shall be
rendered subject 10 disagreement by
the vote Of one juror, and that If
eleven jurors decide and fix damages
in sucn an action, that that verdict
shall stand, although one juror may
disagree with its terms.

this lin 10 provide that Terdicts by a
majority Of jury should be upheld,
but the measure has been changed IN
the drafting room SO as 10 make neces-
sary vote OF eleven jurors in favor

ton, il present plans are carried out.

to the present rule, which requires q
unanimous verdict CT the jurors as
basis of judgment
Both OF these proposed changes In

tract much attention from the legal
profession Of the state.
