Groundbreaking ceremonies for the Complex were held on February 21,1978. It is scheduled to be completed in 1981. The Complex will house the Supreme Court courtroom, an Appellate Division of Superior Court courtroom, chambers for several Justices and Judges, and all State~level administrative, clerical, and court support offices of the Judicial Branch; the State Attorney General's Office and its D;visions of Law and Criminal Justice, and the State Department of the Public Advocate, which includes the State Public Defender's Office. The Complex consists of three major elements: a two~level parking garage, an eight~ story office building, and a raised four~story courts facility with a visual expression separate from the office building but connected to that building by bridges within a glass~enclosed, eight-story atrium. The Complex's office and courts elements will provide 802,814 square feet. The garage will provide 2~ 6,715 square feet for the parking of 627 cars. The main circulation level of the Complex is the plaza which flows under the raised courts facility into the atrium. Pedestrians entering at ground level will be transported by escalators to the plaza level which will provide the main point of arrival and circulation for the public and the occupants of the building. From the plaza level, elevators will ascend to the upper floors and descend to the parking levels. In the courts facility component will be housed tailored spaces required by the judiciary for courtrooms, a law library, and other ancillary functions. A conference and training center for use by all of the Complex's occupants will also be provided in this structure. Space has been reserved in the Complex for a judicial data center and dedicated judiciary computer. A bridge at the plaza level of the Complex will traverse Market Street and provide pedestrian access from other State buildings. NCJRS MAY 2 1979 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ACQUISITIONS ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COURTS OF NEW JERSEY SEPTEMBER 1, 1977TOAUGUST31, 1978 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE COURTS STATE OF NEW JERSEY STATE HOUSE ANNEX ARTHUR J. SI M PSON, JR. CN-037 JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT APPELLATE DIVISION TR.ENTON. NEW JER.SEY 08625 ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COURTS 609-292-4636 To the Honorable Chief Justice and Justices of the Supreme Court: Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:12-5, I herewith submit for the court year ended August 31, 1978 this 30th Annual Report of the activities of the Administrative Office of tile Courts. It is my fifth report, under the tenure of Chief Justice Richard J. Hughes, and includes expanded photographic coverage and narrative highlight summaries, along with a digest of statistical data on caseload activity, in a single volume. An extensive statistical supplement in a separate volume will permit appropriate distribution of detailed in­ formation to those interested in such material*, while effect­ ing overall printing and publication economies. There were record high filings and dispositions, the rate of backlog growth slowed, and the quality and quantity of dispositions per judge again improved. Our court unifi­ cation project efforts resulted in the merger of the Superior and County Courts-the greatest advance since our 1947 constitution. Construction of the Justice Complex began, imaginative reform and improvement commenced under the leadership of several Associate Justices, and many in­ Judge Simpson refers to office wall chart reflecting novative programs were begun or continued. Cooperative statewide assignment of judges. efforts with the Executive and Legislative Branches, the Bar, the public, and the media have resulted in improved funding, additional judgeships, and greater understanding and as­ sistance to the Judicial Branch in providing civil, criminal, and juvenile justice services for New Jersey. I recommend a continuation of the many programs under way, as hereafter chronicled, and further efforts towards full unification including the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts and District Courts. A new foundation for modern judicial administration is now in place, ongoing programs are solving problems as they surface, and our dedicated judges and supportive staffs are the finest in the nation. A most successful court year has been concluded, but much more remains to be done.

WALLACE* INTRODUCTION In the past three to four decades, occupational licensing has become one of the most pervasive forms of state regulation of the economy. At one time, with a few exceptions, only the "learned professions" of law and medicine were subject to state licensing;' today it is not unusual for a state to license as many as 60 separate occupations. The Council of State Governments reported in 1952 that at least one state had licensed more than 80 different "professions" ranging from abstractors to egg graders, to yacht and ship brokers, and salesmen. State licensing in its modern form, therefore, does not encompass only such occupa- * B.A., Princeton University; J.D., Yale Law School. Member, Florida bar. 1.

Reflections on the "Inevitability" of Racial Discrimination in Capital Sentencing and the "Impossibility" of Its Prevention, Detection, and Correction David C. Baldus* George Woodworth** Charles A. Pulaski, Jr.*** Recent rhetoric in the Supreme Court and Congress has given currency and legitimacy to claims that racial discriminationin the administrationof the death penalty is inevitable and impossible to prevent, detect, and correct. This Article considers the plausibility of these claims, which can be viewed more profitably as testablehypotheses. We arguethat the inevitability hypothesis isprobablyoverstated and that the impossibility hypothesis is almost certainly wrong.

  • Bibliography New Jersey Official Reports Supplement
    BIBLIOGRAPHY 01" NEW JERSEY OFFICIAL REPORTS SUPPLEMENT 1945--1960 N.J. ST/I.TE LIBRARY P.O. BOX 520 TkCNTUN, NJ 08625-0520 N. J. STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. DIVISION OF I STATE LIBRARY, ARCHIVES AND HISTORY, 1961 INTRODUCTION This Bibliography of Official Reports} 1945-1960 is the work of the cataloging staff of the Bureau of General Reference and was compiled under the general supervision of Miss Rebecca Schlam, Legislative Research Librarian. It supplements the previous compila­ tion, Bibliography of Official Reports} 1905-1945} edited by Miss Dorothy Lucas. It is interesting to note that this 15-year supplement contains approximately the same number of entries as the previous bibli­ ography covering 40 years. The tremendous increase in the volume of State publications is evidence of the growth of the State, the growth of the business conducted by its administrative agencies and the increasing use of research reports by the State Legislature. It is hoped that the supplement will prove useful to libraries as well as to officers and students of State government. ROGER H. McDoNouGH, Director. iii PREFACE This 15-year bibliography lists reports and hearings of committees and commissions set up by the New Jersey Legislature, by the executive agencies, and by the state judiciary. Also listed are pub­ lications of a non-serial nature by the three branches of government and their annual reports. Publications for the period prior to 1945 are included in the supplement at page 145 if they were accessioned by the State Library after 1945. For lack of time and space period­ icals, series of bulletins, circulars and conferences have been omitted.

    \ ec5 : COURT EXECUTIVE TRAINING PROGRAM DESIGN Documentation of First Training Effort: Institute for Court Management , 1971 Geoffrey S. Gallas Assistant Executive Director and Educational Consultant, Institute for Court Management Research Associate, University of Denver College of Law This report has been made possible by a grant from the United States Department of Justice, Law Enforcement Assistanp Administration, National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. P RE FACE The major use of this document will be in the design of University and extra-university development programs in the justice arena, Throughout the course of the first three Court Executive Development Programs, university professors (theoreticians) and active court administrators and judges (practitioners) have partici- pated in the design and redesign of the educational effort. In meetings, through correspondence and actual participation in the program, members of the Panel appointed by the National Academy of Public Administration, members of Visiting Committee of Judges led by Chief Justice Burger, and members of the outstanding and committed Institute Alumni have been able to guide ICM's program. The University of Denver College of Law has degree programs in Judicial Administration and provides a home to this project. Thanks is due to a loyal and honest friend and adversary, Becky Kechter. She served as a typist, editorial board, and critic. Judge Shirley Hufstedler took time from her demandinq schedule and reviewed a draft of this document. She significantly reduced the tenacity which would have been required of the reader. My bosses, teachers and tormenters are Ernest C. Friesen and R.T. Williams. The two of them aiong with the writer, R.T.'s wife, Marianne, and Bill Whittaker shared the mountains and valleys during the journey which are described in this document.

That record of accom- plishment is chronicled in the pages that follow. With the merger of the National Center and the Institute for Court Management, the National Center has been able to make sub- stantial progress toward accomplishing a major organizational objective, and ICM has been able to strengthen its training programs for court personnel. The National Center’s initiative in the area of delay reduction is well under way with two major studies of general jurisdiction trial courts in progress. Other significant projects are being developed and a national conference on delay reduction co- President Repoldson, left and Ekecutive Director McConneIL sponsored by some forty organizations is scheduled for September 5-7,1985. During the year, the National Center responded hlly to the-increased need for staff sup- port of the Conference of Chief Justices, the Conference of State Court Administrators, and the many other national court organizations served by the Center. Noteworthy was the passage by the Congress late in 1984 of the State Justice Institute Act, an achievement that would not have been possible without the National Center’s assistance. The increased ability of the National Center to be of service to the states is made pos- sible by the high level of support it receives from them.
