noteworthy instance of the
brushing aside of technicalities and
insisting on substantial justice, was
the early case of State ex REL White
side VS.. First Judicial District Court
In this pioneer case of Montana's his
tory, Chief Justice Brantley, without
any special legislation to back him,
but simply going on "horse sense
and the principles of the common
law, invented the writ of "Supervis-
DRY Control" This writ allows a
man to go Immediately into the SUI
preme court if a lower court does
him an injustice, withoutswaiting for
the laborious process of completing
the trial of his case in the district
court and then appealing to the SUI
preme court. State after state has
approved the Montana courts reas-
oning, and adopted this writ, and
from one end of the United States
to the other, Judge Brantley is known
as "the father of the writ of super
visory CONTROL
A Case in Point
A later example of doing away with
technicalities was the famous case
argued in 1907 by Albert J. Galen,
then attorney general, but now him
self an associate justice, when the
court adopted the rule that in Grim
inal trials '3prejudicial error will
never be presumed" Here the SUI
preme court decided that they would
never upset the conviction of Grim
inal by jury, unless the lawbreaker
could show that he was denied sub
stantial justice. This decision has
likewise been followed by supreme
courts of many sister states. When
one reflects on the number of GRIM
inals who have kept outside the bars
by taking advantage of legal techni-
calities, is it any wonder that other
states are following Montana's lead
and abolishing such legal loopholes?
But to the everlasting credit of Mon
tana 1t can be said that our supreme
court did this without assistance or
even suggestion from the legislature
In many states the courts dropped
these intricate quips and quirks so
dear to most lawyers, only under the
compulsion of stringent laws passed
by their legislatures.
One of the early decisions of Mon
Lana's supreme court held that in
functions or other pre-emptory writs
must not be issued without due no.

STATE SUPREME COURT; LITTLE KNOWN
I'M MONTANA, BUT NATIONALLY FAMOUS

Probably the most noteworthy in
stltutiOn in Montana is one of the
least known within the state With
a fame which extends from Maine to
California and from Canada to the
Gulf, it is taken as matter of course
at home. Nationally regarded as one
of the leaders among courts, with a
record more remarkable than that of
any other institution in the state, the
Montana supreme court is today IA
nous everywhere except in Montana.
| How many of our citizens know
that when deciding case, a million
dollars, cash in hand, means no more
to our supreme court than a plugged
nickel does to Henry Ford? Time and
again mining cases from Butte in
volving tens and even hundreds of
millions of dollars, have been up be-
fore the court. Time and again DUR
ing the great copper wars and the
state capital fights, money has been
spent like water by the contending
forces. Time and again good men
have yielded to the lure of golden
brides of unheard-of size But the
supreme court has never once wav-
cred in doing its duty.
Never has the slightest breath of
suspicion tainted its fair name. In
the battles of the giants, years ago,
all knew that when their cases got
before the Montana supreme court,
they would get just exactly what they
had coming, and not one whit more.
The humblest citizen of the state has
always gotten the same consideration
as the wealthiest, and all got square
deal
Judges Brantley and Holloway, |
both of whom were on the bench dur
ing most of those stormy days, are
poor men today, but though they are
as poor in worldly goods as the day
they assumed the judicial robes, both
are rich in the spotless reputation
they have helped build up for Mon
tana's supreme court
Some Montana Precedents
How many Montana people know
that practically every legal reform
in the United States dur
ing the past 80 years has been volun-
tarily adopted by our supreme court?
any help from laws passed
by the legislature, our court has
found way to abolish most of the
worst evils in American jurispru
dence. Technicalities which defeat
justice, delays which hinder the poor
man, hair line decisions which turn
loose guilty lawbreakers, injunctions
without notice-all these have been
done away with by the Montana SUI
Dreme court.

ton to the supreme court, it unques-
tionably is a national record for an
elected judge. Federal Judges, as
everyone knows, do not have to go
before the electors for approval or re-
| lection, but are appointed for life by
the president.
With two out of its three members
serving for such a long period, it is
no wonder that the Montana supreme
court has made such an admirable
record for consistency. And not only
have both these men wonderful mem
cries and great ability, but the other
judges who have served with them
are all lawyers of great attachments.
Two of the three judges having been
on the bench for so many years, they
have had time to become thoroughly
familiar with the entire history of
Montana decisions. In fact, large
proportion of the cases decided by the
court have been during their own
tenure of office, and hence they are
personally familiar with the decisions
previously rendered. 1t has been
natural therefore that they should
be singularly successful in keeping
the courts decisions consistent and
in line, one with another.
Judge Brantley's Memory
1t is said of Judge Brantley that
he can give from memory the history
of every important decision in Mon
tana since the state was admitted to
the union in 1889, and in many cases
the volume where it is found, and
the year it was rendered. Almost one
third of these decisions he wrote him
self since the size of the court was
raised from three to five only very
recently.
And the third reason for the logi-
cal sequence and consistency of the
Montana case law is found in the
methods used by the court in making
a decision. Many courts of last re-
sort assign case after its argument
to one of the judges and when he
finishes the opinion, it is read by the
other judges and they merely assent
or dissent. Other courts hold a short
session following the argument, and
after a verbal discussion agree on
their decision. One of the judges is
then appointed to write the opinion
for the court, and the case is closed
Many courts have felt they must rush
matters through in this manner on

judges. Judge William L. Holloway
has served continuously for Ia years
as associate justice. Chief Justice
Brantley is now closing his fourth
term as chief justice, and has there

consecutive years. Authorities say
that this is the longest continuous
service of any elected judge in the
history of the United States. When
