JUDICIAL REFORMS WK don't agree cither with tlinxo who wonlil iibolinh Un; jury K.vstcni entirely, or those who would keep it us it is, its soniethiii),' Kiicfosiinet, which must not be materially elianirotl. Ve do aifree with those who, like Justice Harry Holt of the Stale .Supreme Court, occupies a position midway be twecn these two extremes, who wishes the jury system retained. but also favors radical changes ; 1 fact, all of Justice Uelt's suiiuestions regarding judicial refoniis, were in. our 'pinion excellent. It sewus to us thut he oombiiieti, p a rare degree, that sound judicial judgment, with u clear vision and liberal viewpoint, which is so necessary, if needed reforms are to come partly from within, rather than entirely from without, the ranks of the legal profession. WK were particularly interested in his suggestion regard ing tho insanity plea, for the absurdity of the present practice is something upon which wo have frequently com mented in this column. Under present circumstances when a person accused of mur der has no legitimate defense, insanity is invariably the plea, and invariably high-priced insanity experts, for the defense, testify the defendant is era.y, and equally high-priced insanity experts for the state testify he is sane. ' - i ' . One group of experts counterbalances the other, und neccs sarily the conscientious juror doesn't know which to believe. '.Justice Belt would give the own insanity commission. This poiutment of a permanent state insanity commission, which would be called in by the court whenever an inutility defense is offered. TILL I (I', is n great deal of talk about the Iuv delay. This talk is justified. 'If anyone doubts it, wo would suggest they compare the American practice with thut, of Canada or Knglaud. With systems of jurisprudence fundamentally the same, it takes on the average five times as long' to secure a con viction in an important case in of. the British empire. If two of Justice Belt's suggestions were followed, two ma jor causes of unnecessary delay would be eliminated. He would liuve the court, instead of the lawyers, question prospective jurors, and ho would give the 'defendant tho right to choose whether facts in the ease should be determined by a jury or by the presiding judge. With the decision resting with the. accused we fail to see how there could bo serious objection to the second suggestion. Wo all know that where public feeling runs high, or a mob spirit prevails, a fair jury trial is practically impossible. Never theless under the present code it is mandatory. (living tho defendant the right to lcavo the determination of the facts up to the court or a jury would merely strengthen the corner stone of American jurisprudence, which is that the accused has the right to have guilt, beyond all reasonable doubt, has been proved. 1'TKR listening in on the m. Association we should say that one of tho greatest ob stacles lo needed reform in judicial procedure comes from the ultra-conservative spirit of tho legal profession itself. We may he mistaken, hut we. got 1 hu distinct impression that not one suggestion of any inulerial change met wi'th the' approval of the delegates assembled. The only enthusiasm was detected when sumo speakers said nothing of importance but said it well, or when the burden of the discourse was to the ef fect that all is right in this mast perfect of legal worlds, that all this talk about the failure of our judicial system, and the need of radical reform, proceeds from a Bolshevik minority on one hand, and a loose-thinking ALL of which is unfortunate. For no prompt betterment is possible without the co-oocration nl" I lie luwvei-a iWm. serves, proceeding from a realization on the part of the pro fession as a whole, that reforms and some radical changes are really needed. . That is why Justice Uelt's talk was so welcome. Kor he is the type of man and type of lawyer who can combat this leth argy and complacent self-satisfaction and assist such men as Chief Justice Tuft and Justice Holmes to bring about judicial reform from within the ranks of the legal profession, rather than to wait, for them to be forced upon the profession by an outraged public opinion.
