More Tribunal* Would No* Solve Tbe Problem Of Coogastioa By John A. LlvispUn* to Nows n* Okwrm Oner again a grrat hoc and cry .i being mad* in North Carolina about the need tor more courts and more Judge*. There U no denying that m'anr of our conns ar* con gested with cases that ought to be tried, but the courts thenmclvcs seem to be the least worried by the con gestion. It i« well known that In a majority of the counties of this State, parties, w blesses and jurors arc compelled to hang around the court house while lawyer* quibble over details that ought to have been attended to long before die t me set for the trial. Often the court waits while law yeis haggle over compromise* and settlements which do not need a judge and Jury to arrange. No objection j can be made to the amicable settle | rovnt of cases, but why delay othar I important trials while these settla I menu arc being mads? The number of cases disposed of by a court is a poor index of tho actual work done. Often wasting ■ most of the first day of court, it not | infrequently Happens th»t the judge J is through and gone by Thursday night. Tho remedy is to provld* a means of making eourts function mors efficiently rather than to pro vide more terms to be frittered sway with trivia I ties. More recorder's courts trill not wiv» the problem of congestion, for much of it is caused by appeals from these eourts. To the satant that re : eorder's courts arkually try cate*. It , Ml! afford lelief but it doe* not fol low that more of these subordlr.au courts will do tho work. The criminal dockets In ths Sap rrlor Courts am kept fairly well cleaned up, and there seems to b« greater dispatch in ths trial of those 1 esc sot though to be sura thara am i Instances of delay* of trials In crim inal cases. Thara is no real need for mors I criminal eourts With Judge I^ren i and Judge Allan retiring this year ta i join the State's carps af emergency i Judges as provided by the last lagta I laturc, then will be four emergency Judges on tha pay ran. Will thaw not bn able to provide relief enough . for all emergency cases? Tho Bute Bar sssasiatiaa commit i tee suggests mar* judges and men l districts-—the remedy of lh* quack • In other word* give u* mare of whs s w* already have — more quibbling more dilly-dally lag, more delays.
