The National Court of Appeals: An Unwise Proposal

Abstract

A Study Group on the Case Load of the Supreme Court has recently made findings and very drastic recommendations.' If I did not know that some qualified persons do disagree with the main finding of the Group -the finding, in brief, that the Supreme Court either now is or (if its present pattern of doing business continues unchanged) shortly will be far too overworked to do its job well, or even passably-I should have thought this beyond debate or doubt. The statistics still seem to me to be of unrebutted grimness. I am going to assume here that this finding is right.
