It seems hard to believe that it was just a few years ago that I welcomed you to Roger Williams University at freshman Convocation. And while much of the tradition and ceremony seems the same - the marching, caps and gowns, speeches, cheering and tears - much more has changed. The University has grown tremendously in your time here, both physically and in reputation. We have earned our place regionally, nationally and internationally as a respected name in a variety of academic disciplines. We have been engaged in the world through the articulation of our core values - love of learning, preparation for future careers and study, student­ faculty research, service, a global perspective and civil discourse. In many ways our transformation can be attributed to students like you, who have carried those values with you in your journeys.

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY It is my pleasure to present to you the 1991 Annual Report of the Judiciary. This report represents my fifth full year as chief justice, and I believe much has been accomplished during this time. Like many other jurisdictions, the Rhode Island courts have expe­ rienced a dramatic five year increase in case filings. In 1987 there were approximately 107,000 cases filed statewide, and based on this report approximately 140,000 cases were filed in 1991, an increase of 31 percent.

EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *College Students; *Higher Education; *Internship Programs; On the Job Training; Part Time Jobs; *State Government; *Student Employment ABSTRACT The Rhode Island State Internship Program provides students with off-campus work experiences in State governmentoffices that offer a taste of the real political world. It isfelt that this permits them to make comparisons between their on-the-jobexperiences and those that are presented in textbooks. A uniquefeature of the Rhode Island program is its acceptance of both undergraduateand graduate students, along with carefully selected highschool students. It is hoped that the program will help restorepublic confidence in the State government and that the program willdevelop into an avenue for the recruitment of State employees.

As the Presiding Justice of the Superior Court for the State of Rhode Island, it is my pleasure to present you with this booklet outlining the history of the Rhode Island Superior Court, the responsibilities and jurisdiction of the Superior Court and biographies of the justices and magistrates who have served on the Superior Court since its inception in 1905. I hope you find the enclosures both informative and interesting. Joseph F. Rodgers, Jr. PRESIDING JUSTICE 1 History of the Rhode Island Superior Court 1905-2005 With the dawn of the 20th Century, the need to restructure Rhode Island's anti- quated and overburdened Judicial System became apparent. Up to that point Su- preme Court Justices alone had the constitutional authority to instruct juries. Thus, in 1902 the Rhode Island Senate sought and received an advisory opinion from the Rhode Island Supreme Court which interpreted the State Constitution so that jury trials could be conducted not only by Judges of the Supreme Court but also by Judges of legislatively created "inferior courts." Opinion to the Senate, 24 Rhode Island 625 (1902).
