Impartial Divorce Probings Needed By BUD CARR . The belief that the facts in a divorce case should be gathered by an impartial investigating body was expressed by K. J. O’Connell local attorney, in the latest of the “Youth and Marriage” lectures, held last night in Fenton hall. O'Connell is a University lecturer in law. Although some attempts have I been made to establish such agen- ' cies, their success has been limit ed, said O’Connell. “Lawyers are not in a position to investigate completely all the facts presented in a case'. They can do little toward reducing the di vorce rate, not only because they are ill equipped for analizing the I causes of divorce, pul also because of lack of time,” said the faculty member. O’Connell described the proce dure of obtaining a decree in the local divorce court. Over 90 per cent of the cases are uncontested and as many as 39 cases have been handled in three hours, he com mented. “Sociologists have studied di vorce much more carefully than lawyers could. They have said much about it but have done little to aleviate the conditions causing it,” the speaker said. O’Connell looks upon the men of his profes sion as social undertakers rather than social physicians because the instances are rare in which they can work on the trouble, especially in a divorce case, before it is to late.
