It has been accepted for inclusion in Wyoming Law Journal by an authorized editor of Law Archive of Wyoming Scholarship. THE MINOR COURTS OF WYOMING* I. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE This paper is a discussion of the history, organization, effectiveness and suggested reformation of the minor courts of Wyoming. The term "minor courts" includes the justice of the peace and police courts provided by the constitution and statutes of this state. To the extent that any article suggesting comprehensive judicial reform must consider related courts, the article will also discuss the district court system. The basis for many of the conclusions reached by the authors is a questionnaire circulated by the Wyoming Law Journal among the district judges, police judges and justices of the peace, at the end of 1959. The answers reflected a wiclespread dissatisfaction with the present system particularly among the lawyers who were serving as justices. This article will summarize the particular complaints and present some of the solutions which have been attempted by other states. II. ORIGIN The office of Justice of the Peace was first created in England during the reign of Edward III in the fourteenth century.

True to the eighteenth century political theory of John Locke,' from which it derives, the separation of powers doctrine is designed to prevent any one branch from dominating the other two, thereby serving as a check against the tyranny of concen- trated governmental power.' *Professor of Law, University of New Mexico School of Law; B.A. Brown University, 1965; J.D.

Roberts Recommended Citation Susan A. Roberts, The Court in the 1960s: Stability and Transition, 5 N.M. L. Rev. 64 (1975). Available at: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nmlr/vol5/iss3/6 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by The University of New Mexico School of Law. For more information, please visit the New Mexico Law Review website: www.lawschool.unm.edu/nmlr NEW MEXICO LA WREVIEW The Court of the 1950s frustrated some who served on it as well as some who practiced before it. Justice McGhee expressed this frus- tration in terms of the lonely existence of a Supreme Court justice: So far as I know, a happening with a human interest angle seldom happens in the Supreme Court or growing out of its actions. When one becomes a member of that Court he is removed from the area where things of interest are happening. Except for the time taken at oral arguments and short vacations, a Justice of that Court has, for all practical purposes, taken the veil.2 18 Attorney Hannett expressed this frustration in terms of practicing law before the bench during this decade: The Supreme Court judges, particularly in the State Supreme Court, are very often afflicted with the "intellectual itch" and try to write literary masterpieces. The worst fault of all is found in the appellate court where it is common practice for judges to write opinions which state facts entirely unsupported by the record, in order to bolster up a bad decision.
