Burger Proposes National Center for Court Reform
Chief Justice Warren Burger urged a national center to help states share ideas and reform courts facing congestion. He warned Americans may lose patience with a system unchanged since the 18th century and called for closer cooperation with the American Bar Association.

He urged studies to ensure cases reach court only after settlement options are exhausted.
