MORE SIMPLICITY
IN CRIMINAL LAW
Message to Law Institute
. Lauds Move for Speeding
Up Court Procedure in
Prosecution of Crime
WASHINGTON. May 10. (API
Continuation of efforts to revlae the
criminal law as an aid to solving the
crime problem was advocated today
by President Roosevelt.
He made this suggestion in a mes
sage sent to the American Law In
stitute after Chief Justice Hughes had
urged simplified procedure In federal
courts to speed a final decision of
casps and eliminate technicalities.
George W. Wlckersham former at
torney general and president of the
organization called for a study of
"conditions growing out of the re
cent unprecedented Increase of bu
reaucracy In our government."
Seek Simpler Practice
Explaining that congress had em
powered the court to change the
method of procedure Hughes said:
"The goal we seek is a simplified
practice which will strip procedure of
unnecessary forms, technicalities and
distinctions and permit the advance
of causes to the decision of their
merits with a minimum of procedural
encumbrances."
The president's letter said:
"Last year I had the pleasure of
sending a word of greeting to the
twelfth annual meeiing of the Amer
ican Law Institute. On that occa
sion I took th liberty of making a
suggestion the suggestion that while
you continued to carry forward the
clarification and simplification of the
common law through your great pro
ject of restatement, you should be
gin to give serious consideration to
work of equal importance in the field
of the criminal law.
Lauds .Move
"I am happy to learn that my sug
gestion commended Itself to you and
that a committee composed of emi
nent lawyers, economists, sociologists,
phychiatrlsts and other experts In the
a 11 1 ed soc 1 al sc 1 encea was appol nted
by your council to advise on the
work which you can usefully do In
this field.
"I am deeply Interested to team
that you have received from this com
mitter a report which has been ap
proved by your council and which
recommends that you prepare and
from time to time publish parts of
a proposed code of criminal law,
using that expression tn Its widest
sense.
"I expressed In my letter of last
year my conviction that the adapta
tion of our criminal law and its ad
ministration to meet the needs of a
modern, complex civilization la one
of our major problems.
Valuable Contribution
"I feel that the type of work pro
posed by your committee will, If exe
cuted with scientific care, be a valu
able contribution to our progress to
ward the solution of the crime prob
lem, and I accordingly hope you will
be able to see your way clear to carry
through auch an Important public
service.
"These meetings of the American
Law Institute In Washington empha
size the public responsibility of the
bar, not merely to practice the law,
but to maintain Its vitality and carry
forward Its growth and Improvement
by disinterested scientific work.
"In a country like ours, where so
much depends upon the spirit and
breadth of vision with which the law
Is administered. It Is heartening In
deed to witness this recognition of
their public obligations by so many
of the outstanding leaders of the
bench and bar.
"I accordingly extend my warm and
cordial greetings to your membership
and wish to say that I shall be very
glad to receive a committee from the
Institute If there are any matters
upon which you especially wish to
confer with me."
