Judicature Commission Bill Filed for Massachusetts Reform
Senator Burbank of East Bridgewater files a Senate bill to create a five member Judicature Commission to survey the Massachusetts courts and report recommended changes. The measure aims to empower the Governor with council advice to appoint the panel with a scheduled report by Jan 10 1916, and no compensation for members. The proposal cites support from Taft Eliot Pound and local legal authorities and seeks a careful, unified approach to judicial administration.
