Abstract: The problem of congested dockets and delay of justice has been witnessed invariable times in past history. The real and ever present delay in the legal remedies afforded the people has permeated the public consciousness and has in stilled an awareness of responsibility among the servants of the judiciary. Those ministering justice have instigated legis lation in various states to accelerate the judicial process. Con cern for the civic effects of delay in our courts and for the legal effects on our judicial system has fostered conferences, commit tee studies, and projects on congestion and delay in the admin istration of justice. A determined public, bar, and judiciary can implement positive programs and methods enabling the judges to grant speedier trials.—Ed.
