STATUTES MUCH DESIRED Method of Administer- ing Jusice LAW NOW IS EXPENSIVE Legislature May Be Asked to Make Judicial Council Part of System North Dakota's district judges yes- terday picked flaws in the state’s method of administering. justice. Intimate personal experiences were disclosed by the jurists as they told fellow members of the first state judicial council of the troubles they have encountered in preventing un- due delay and obtaining patintasiniy administration of justice in both criminal and civil affairs. Different systems of meeting problems in the various districts were outlined in the hope of obtaining further suggestions and at the same time be of possible help to others at the meeting. Special attention was centered on the problem caused by the law per- mitting double-headed affidavits of prejudice against a judge and _re- questing a change of venue. This law, it was agreed, has cost North Dakota counties thousands of dollars rae often has resulted in undue de- ay. Should Charge Fee A proposal to charge a fee with ‘each affidavit as contained in a bill defeated by a recent legislature, met general approval, One judge recom- mended that the necessity for an affidavit be removed in order to prevent the practice of perjury. All agreed that in many cases such affi- davits were filed to obtain delay, and many gave personal experiences. One judge told of how a criminal ease involving an alleged attempt to “beat” as 1 board ‘bill cost the county over $300 hecause an affidavit of prejudice was filed and a change of venue demanded, Another judge recommended that the law be chang- ed so that a judge could designate a prac ng attorwey, living in the to hear the case without de- y this system -an adequate wing of cause would he required a change of venue could be lay affidavits of preju- abused than us M.

Other points suggested were re- duction of the number of jurors in in cases to“keep down expense: amination of jurors as to qualifications by the judge to time; granting the state the same number of peremptory challenges ninal case proper cooperation with sheriffs the handling of prisoners sent to jail and stimulation of interest on the pare of state’s attorneys in the col- jection of fines and bonds, Much Money Lost Thoysands of dollars are being lost, one judge said, because state’s attorneys refuse to’ spend caunty on bonds when the amount collected goes to the school fund, ‘Phe re- sulting failure-of justice is a serious problem, he said. Another judge told how, by ar- rangement with sheriffs, men given jail terms in his court were sentenc- ed to hard labor and how one city had repaired its streets and another built a park by this method. This system, it was pointed out, reduced the high eost of keeping men in jail and, at the same time, saved them from the dis: a long period Consideration was had of a pro- posal to ask the fegislat a law making the judicial council a definite part of the state judicial system, JUDGES ARE GUESTS OF STATE PRISON WARDEN District judges attending the first state judicial eouncil here today! were guests, of: Warden John J.

After further discussion of their mutual problems<the jurists planned this afternoan to: take’ definite ac- tion on proposals to petition the legislature to pass a law giving the judicial -council legal -status. and to point a committee to make sugges- ions as to advisable, changes in présent laws, Chief Justice A. M. Christianson, who sponsored the meeting, said he was well pleased at the result ob- tained and expressed hope that the council would become a permanent part of the state’s judicial system.
