Controls Court Costs, JP litiians will have the opportunity to vote on a number of items, aa~ cluling a so-called coort-reform amendment to the State Constitu Arncng the principle promises proponents of this amendment have held forth to the voter are: 1. That it would make court costs uniform in every county of the state- , , . 2- That it would make justices of peace salaried rather than fee of ficers. These are promises that have a great' deal of emotional appeal, es pecially when they ate harped upon at great lengths, by those who sup port this change in our court sys tem, ■ ' j - The public is being told how great the discrepancy is between the cost of court one has to pay for a t* of the court amend* speak of the peed for irte to handle the vol ork that is created by ttions and domestic re ■■ of Article F<?ur says: ltliere is a conviction. Both of these- statements have an ■ugly sound, hut the public ought So be told also that full and com Jilete control over both of these admittedly bad practices is already ho tthe hands of the General As seiahly. Article Four, which is the Article deafing with North Carolina courts, says in Section 18: The General AsseaaUy shall prescribe and rag' •date the fees, salaries, and emol umemts mi all officers provided for in tide article; but the salaries of the bulges shall not he diminish Airing their continuance in of ui jicwe ana sucn ocnei : o url » inferior to the Supreme Zourt as may be established by And Section 14 of Article Four ays: The General Assembly shall irovide for the establishment oi pedal coarts, for the triad of mis lemeenors, in aides nod towns, share the same may W necessary. The question naturally follows fter having read these sections of he State Constitution: What does he proposed amendment offer that i not already possible under the xisting law? Firstly, the proposed amendment ffers everyone of the 100 counties, rhether they need it or not, a dis rict codrt, which would include a idge, solicitor, clerk and such oth r clerical personnel as might be ceded. . - Smaller counties would "share” istrict courts, while some of the trger counties might have sever* I of these "district courts.” The ieneral Assembly under Section 10 Article. Four has the power to this so-called congestion proDiem. This section says: The General Assembly shall divide the State in to a number of judicial districts which number may be increased or reduced and shall provide for the election of one or more superior court judges for each district. There shall be a Superior Court in each county at least twice in each year to continue for such time in each county as may be prescribed by law. Under an expansion of the super ior court bench it would not be ' necessary to create new courts of lesser jurisdiction, nor to employ additional clerical personnel. Secondly, the proposed “improve ment” of the courts would make all justices of peace appointive, < rather than elective. At present 85 percent of the criminal cases aris ing in North Carolina are handled in JP courts. Removing courts which handle the vast majority of the criminal cases from control by < electorate is not a step in the di rection of better courts. i Under the proposed amendment justices of peace would be appoint ed by the resident superior court in the county which the JP is to serve. Both the judgS and clerk of sup erior court are elective officers, whose best judgment in the ap pointment of JPs could not be ex pected to ignore political consid erations in the recommending and making of such valuable appoint ments. So rather than making the justice jf peace answerable to the voting public, as he is at present, this system would make the JP the po itical vassal of the superior court derks and judges. The addition of superior court fudges in those areas where court :alendars are behind, the addition >f sufficient prosecution staff to >ermit the frequent operation of he courts, making justice of peace alaried rather than fee officers and making alt court costs in every :ounty of the-latate uniform are al •eady the complete province of the Jeneral Assembly.
