Me cited the "tremendous over
load of eases in traffic courts in
many metropolitan areas as a

lie said it is time the national,
state, arid local bar association*,
along with the law schools, prac
ticing attorneys, and the public,
examine whether the courts are
functioning as well as they could.
Finley called for an examina
tion of the management and ad- ,
ministration of the courts to in
sure that they arc operating effi
ciently.
"We must take a hard look at
judicial salaries,” he said, "re
tirement and tenure plans, and
the judicial selection procedures
so that we can attract the top
talent in the legal profession into
judicial positions.”
Richard W. Nahstoll, a Portland
attorney, told the assembly that
litigation has become so expen
sive that a litigant can’t even af
ford to win any more.
Lawyers have tolerated expen
sive procedures allowing litiga
tion and appeals to be priced be
yond people’s reach, and have
also done a poor job of accommo
dating to those things which
could have been done to reduce
costs, he said.
He outlined some of the proce
dures which will make legal serv
ices more readily available for
the poor as a result of the Eco
nomic Opportunities Act, but add
ed that the middle income group
might be worse off than the poor
in securing legal services.
