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. ' ' .
