c. Significant Contributions to Judicial Administration Efforts in the United States: d.
Received a special assignment from Chief Justice Warren Burger to prepare a study on the future of the judiciary and to make appropriate recommendations (see Working Papers - Future of the Judiciary, 94 F.R.D. 225 (1981)). Recommended a three-branch commission to prepare incrementally for the needs of the judiciary based upon the future of the judiciary. The concept was included in legislation sponsored by Senator Howell Heflin. As a result, in October 1982, S.675, which generally incorporates these recommendations, was passed by the United States Senate, but not the House. Ultimately, after eight years of work, a compromise was reached. Assisted in legislation developing the Three-Branch Federal Court Study Committee, which was active from December 1988 to April 1990 under the chairmanship of Judge Joseph Weis. (Judge Weis subsequently received the Devitt Award largely for his excellent work on this project.)
During the 1977 Anglo-American Exchange, developed the concept of embracing the English Inns of Court but adapting them to American needs. Shared the idea with Chief Justice Warren Burger, who requested an investigation of the concept’s feasibility. After six months of extensive research, travel, and meetings, recommended development of the American Inns of Court and recommended starting with a pilot program. Assisted in the development of the pilot program and
-4- recruitment of those who would carry out the original idea. This concept was successful and there are now 400 organized and active American Inns of Court throughout the United States, with 26,000 active members.
