Book Review: Securing Courtroom Decorum

Hazard, Geoffrey
Abstract
The spectacle of United States v. Dellinger, has impelled two distinguished organizations of the legal profession to promulgate rules designed to secure courtroom decorum. In July, 1970, the American College of Trial Lawyers, through a special Committee on Disruption of the Judicial Process, published its Report and Recommendations. In January, 1971, the American Bar Association received a report on Standards Relating to the Function of a Trial Judge from its Advisory Committee on the Judge's Function, a constituent of the ABA's Project on Standards for Criminal Justice.
