Ail Keith Rea rse ' or at ;:ituse and Cases are being filed in Oregon's Circuit Courts in greater numbers than ever before. Stale Court Admini strator 1-orcn D. Hicks reports on the basis of a six-months statewide summary of court activity. The average case load per circuit judge, said Hicks, is also at an all time high level. Criminal and civil cases filed m the first six months of this year totaled 27.606. repre senting a 13 per cent increase over the 24.055 filings in the comparable period of 1974. The statistical summary was presented to Chief Justice Kenneth J O'Connell of the Oregon Supreme Court who said, "Only the dedication of the slate's titi circuit judges in handling their heavy case loads has prevented a clog ging of the courts severe enough to interfere with the orderly administration of jus tice." The Chief Justice said that despite the heavy incoming case load there are several positive improvements reflec ted by the summary of court work : The proportion of folder cases m the courts (those pending more than two years is declining; cases are coming to trial sooner: the number of cases closed this year is 13 per cent higher. "But even this increase in case terminations is insuffici ent to absorb all of the increase in case filings." said Chief Justice O'Connell, While 26,529 cases were closed during the first half of 1975, the Circuit Courts were re ceiving 27.606 new cases. As a result there were 3.809 cases pending on June 30, a IS per cent increase over the preced ing year. In the same period, the Chief Justice continued, the District Courts of the state and the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have also faced heavy increases in liti gation. He said these increases follow a persistent upward trend in several years and may be accounted for by a variety of reasons. Oregon's population has grown. An explosion of new state laws has confronted the public. More persons can afford legal service and more free legal service is available to the poor. The number of lawyers has been increasing. Complex and rapid changes in society encourage court tests of the laws and the administrative rules of government.
