Excerpt from Efficiency in the Administration of Criminal Justice Address: Before the New York State Bar Association, January 12

The earlier court system of the United States was adopted at atime when the thirteen states had no greater population than New York City has today. In the pioneer days, a judge was assigned to a county or to a district. He handled all sorts of litigation, civil and criminal, and traveled from county to county holding terms of court. Litigated cases were simpler in their na ture. As population and wealth increased, and cities developed, the legal problems_became more intricate and more important questions were involved. The tendency was to establish numerous distinct, unrelated courts. As judicial power developed to meet expanding human needs, portions of it were from time to time parceled out to newly created tribunals.
