Lawyers Want
Civil Courts
Returned Here
Find Many Drawbacks To
Trying Their Cases in At
lantic City

A movement is on foot among
lawyers in Atlantic City to have
the sessions of civil court returned
to Mays Landing. The Circuit and
Supreme courts were moved from
the county seat to the resort last
year on the plea of some of the
members of the bar association that
Mays Landing was too unhandy for
them and the litigants.
Older members OF the bar were
not in favor of the move, some de-
claring that the best interests of
litigants could not be served in
the resort. 1t is said now that the
speeding up of the wheels of JUS
tice," which had been promised
when the move was made, has not
materialized, and that other condi-
tions have developed which make
the return to Mays Landing ultra
desirable.
Because of the diminutive size of
the court room in Atlantic City,
there is no room for spectators
when a full panel of jurors and the
litigants and witnesses have assem-
bled; yet, more spectators natural
" attempt to crowd into the room
than would be the case in the coun-
ty court house. This condition
causes Jurors and witnesses to
wander afield and they are hard to
find when wanted.
Another drawback is that lawyers
find the court too handy, and are
inclined to daily too long in their
offices. thinging they can get to the
courthouse in a minute or two. Al
so. clients and others find it TOO
handy to call a lawyer out of court
lust for minute" that often
stretches out to half hour or
more.
In the opinion OF those who want
to return the courts here, the bus
mess of the court is of prime int-
portance, and the .sriyate business
of those engaged in the sessions
should wait until court is adjourn
