Committee Studying States
Court System Issues Report
North Carolina's lower court!,
like Topsy, have "juit growed"
without plan or pattern, says the
report prepared for the North
Carolina Bar Association's Com
mittee on Improving and Expedit
ing the Administration of Justioe.
The Supreme Court and the
Superior Court system, on the
other hand, have developed
through an orderly process.
Albert Coates of Chapel Hill, di
rector of the Institute of Govern
ment, is author of the report. It
is the first of a series based on
research done by the institute as
a part of the committee's study
of the judicial system of North
Carolina.
State Sen. J. Spencer Bell of
Charlotte, chairman, says the in
formation it contains is vital in
the search for a way to assure
prompt and inexpensive justice
for all the people of the slate.
Mr. Coates' report shows how
North Carolina's court system of
the 1660's to the 18G0's grew out
of the English common law tradi
tions, how the court system from
the 1860's to the 1950's grew out
of North Carolina traditions from
colonial beginnings, and how the
courts of tomorrow will grow out
of the courts of today.
JP System
It brings out the development
of the Justice of the Peace system
according to plan from the 1660's
to the 1860's. In the Constitution
of 1868 provisions were made for
increasing the number of Justices
of the Peace to take care of future
growth in judicial business but
their burden of duties was too
great for most of them and their
growth in number has been ac
companied by a dwindling in bus
iness, except in a few cases.
Tracing the patternlcss growth
of other lower courts, the report
refers to the "special act" courts
which came into the 1868 Consti
tution as an "after-thought", au
thorized for the trial of petty mis
demeanors of freed men who with
out means of livelihood were leav
ing the plantations and flocking
to the cities and towns.
Courts Abolished
Tho two courts established under
this provision in 1868 were abol
ished In 1869 and 1871 and were
succeeded by the mayor's courts.
An effort to revive old county
courts after 1875 died "abornio".
Circkit court experiments in the
1880's and 1890's, which would have
destroyed the symmetry of the
Superior Courts, were abandoned
by 1900, and failure of the Gen
eral Assembly to offer a state
wide pattern to {ill the needs of
localities resulted in each locality's
trying to look after itself.
Local answers to the General
Assembly's policy of helping only
those who helped themselves were
111 "special act" oourts which
were established between 1905 and
1917.
Effect Falls
When "special act" courts were
prohibited in 1917, the need de
veloped for a comprehensive sys
tem of lower courts on a statewide
scale. An effort to supply it was
made by the General Assembly
in 1919 but it failed when 47 coun
ties refused to go along.
The report points out that the
logic and experience of the last
300 yean in North Carolina show
the necessity of a system of lower
courts within quick and easy reach
of the rank and Die of the people
for the trial of the lesser civil and
criminal cases.
This was true In the early days
of North Carolina. It is Mta more
true today when railway, highway
and airway are knitting the state
togetlMr so completely that a per
son in Currituck County in the
morning m?r be in Cherokee 500
miles MHr by evening; when
thousands of people from other
parts of the country an traveling
through North Carolina every dty ;
and when thousands upon thou
sands of dollars are spent every
year to invite tourists to the state.
In the horse and buggy days,
?this need was met to some degree
J. Spencer Bell of Charlotte, left, chairman of the North Carolina
Bar Association's Committee on Improving and EipedlUng Hie Ad
ministration of Justice, presents to Gov. Lather Hodges the firtt of a
series of reports prepared for the committee by the Institute of Gov
ernment at Chapel Hill.
by a system of neighborhood Jus
tices of the Peace, but the Gen
eral Assembly, recognizing the
failure of this system to keep up
with the needs of time and place
in later days, has made a number
of provisions which give concur
rent jurisdiction to mayors and
city courts, give concurrent juris
diction to combination city-county
courts within and without city
limits, give jurisdiction to mayor
or city courts within city limits
to the exclusion of the Justice of
the Peace altogether in many
places.
In spite of all the failings of the
Justice of the Peace system, the
report says, there are many places
where the Justice of the Peace is
the sole mainstay of law enforcing
officers.
Uniformity Needed
The problem of the lower courts,
the report continues, was pin
pointed by Chief Justice J. Wal
lace W m borne in 1967 when he
said the many court* in tip state
below the Superior Court level
should be consolidated into a gen
eral uniform court system with an
executive head.
The system, he continued, should
be of sufficient breadth of flexi
bility to provide adequate court
coverage on that level throughout
the state. (The committee has un
animously endorsed the principle
of a unified, properly administered
court system for the state.)
The report discusses the place
of the Superior Court in the judi
cial system. It evolved from the
General Court of the 1660's and
was the undisputed head of the
system of trial courts until 1868
with all appeals from the Justice
of the Peace courts going to their
respective County courts and with
all appeals from the County courts
going to the Superior Courts.
When the Constitution of 1868
eliminated the county courts, all
appeals from the Justice of the
Peace courts went directly to the
Superior Courts.
Place Challenged
The place ol the Superior Court
as head of the trial court system
was challenged In the ltSfi's when

the General Asiembly established
Circuit Courts with similar juris
diction and provided for direct ap
peals to the Supreme Court deci
sion at the turn of the century
reaffirming the position the Su
perior Court has occupied for 300
years as the unifying head of the
system of trial courts in North
Carolina and the sole avenue of
appeals from lower courts to the
Supreme Court.
In regard to the Supreme Court,
the report tells of its roots in the
early 1800's when differing deci
sions of Superior Court judges, on
different circuits throughout the
state, called for a tribunal to give
final pronouncements of the law
for the Superior and County courts,
Justices of the Peach, and law
yers to go by.
The report points out that the
study by the Committee on Im
proving and ExMditing the Ad
ministration of JtVce is the third
look which has been taken at
North Carolina's judicial system
in an effort to "sec it clearly and
see it whole."
Others were in the 1660's and
the 1860's. With the experience of
the past and the present to guide
them, members of today's study
group will fashion their plan for
North Carolina's better courts of
tomorrow along principles em
bracing the logic which has grown
out of 300 years of experience.
College Students Steal
Nuts from School Trees
Stillwater, Okla. (AP) ? Students
at Oklahoma State are driving hor
ticultural professors nuts over
nuts.
Despite warnings, the students
have been sneaking into experi
mental pecan groves and taking
pecans. Professors point out these
aren't ordinary nuts but are being
watched as part of pecan experi
ments.
Doctor Explains
Flying Saucers
San Antonio, Tex. (AP)? An Air
Force scientist has offered his own
simple explanation of why people
"see" flying saucers.
Eye defects are the cause, says
Dr. Herbertus Strug hold, a scien
tist at the Department of Space
Medicine at Randolph Air Force
Base.
A longtime specialist in aviation
medicine, the former German sci
entist says he is among the large
numbers of people who have
"seen" a flying saucer.
He said he saw one while flying
on a trip one day. It was a bright
silver object, Dr. Struehold says,
a typical description of a flying
saucer.
"I closed my right eye and look
ed only through the left eye. The
object turned out to be a B-29.
"I have a stigmatism in my right
eye," Dr. Strughold explains, a de
fect he says is shared by about 12
per cent of all people.
This, he concludes, is the reason
why many people may think they
"sec" strange objects in the sky.
"Unexplained objects always ap
pear in epidemics. This is a psy
chological factor," he says.
"In the United States, the ob
ject is always in the shape of an
egg ? or a cigar. In Germany, it
takes the shape of a Bavarian sau
sage; in Holland, an Edam cheese
. . . And in Paris, is heartshaped,
Vive l'amour."
Dr. Strughold was among a group
of German aviation experts who
came to the United States after
World War II. He helped establish
the Department of Space Medicine.
He has specialized in this field
since 1927.
