Burger urges drastic reform to ease Supreme Court overload
Chief Justice Warren E. Burger urged Congress and lawyers to back drastic changes to the judiciary, proposing a temporary shadow appeals court of 26 judges from the circuit courts to decide up to a third of annual Supreme Court cases. He said the ABA can help sell the plan, while critics questioned the urgency and efficacy of such a panel amid rising caseloads. The proposal would last five years if successful, evolving from conflicts among the 13 U S Courts of Appeals.
