A ——— e — T ———met e e S | 10 LAWYERS WANT LEGISLATION One of Their Bills Provides for Extension of Btudents’ Reading Oourse. FAVOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION | Omaha Attorneys Will Promote | Bill for Supreme Court Commin. Also slon of Six Members Dar- ing Next Two Years. With the near approach of the convening | of the legislature local attorneys are getting busy in preparing bills for enactment de sired by members of the profession. | There has been prepared already a bill | tending the reading course required for admission to the bar in this state to three inatead of two years, and at last Saturday's meeting the Omaha Bar association adopted resolutions Introduced by J. H. Mclntosh fnstructing the association’s logislative committee, composed of Warren Switzler, B4 P. Smith, C. G. McDonald, M. A. Hall and O, A. Goss, to ascertain if come modi- | fications and improvements cannot be made in the code of procedure, and, if they so find, to draft a bill and have it brought before the next legislature. | Chairman Switzler is about to iseue a efreular letter inviting members of the as- | soclation to make suggestions to the com- mittee. Another resolution declared it to | be the sense of the association that the | Begislature should call a constitutional con- wention. Another resolution favors making the supreme court commission consist of six members during the next two years. The annual meetingst the Omaha asso- ciation is to be January 10 and probably the legislative committee’s report will then be discussed at considerable length, after tho election of the officers of the associa- | tlon. The meeting of the State Bar asso- | elation is to be in Omaha January 8 and 9, with the banquet on the latter evening. | For this reason the local association will have no banquet of its own, but attend in tull strength that of the larger body. Destre for New Constitution, In speaking of the varfous resolutions adopted at Saturday night's meeting a member of the assoclation sald: “The de- sire for a larger supreme court is not the only reason for proposing a constitutional convention. The attorneys generally over the state desire to have the constitution itselt made easier to change. They wish to provide for carrying amendments to it by a majority of those who vote on the amendment instead of a majority of those who vote at the election. This latter con- struction was what defeated the amend- ment itself at the recent election “The supreme court commission should be cut this year to six members. Now there are nine commissioners, but the work | is partly caught up, and two years hence | 1t should be nearly enough back to normal to make possible a further cut, though some commissioners will always be neces- sary as long as the supreme judges are but three in number.” Over the bill providing for a longer term of preparation for admission to the bar there may be considerable centroversy, but | in it there fs a clause barring attorneys from other states who have had less than the three-year course, so the framers of the blll contend that it is fair play for all concerned.
