A study of judgments rendered by the circuit court of Wayne county has been undertaken by the legal research institute of the University in an attempt to prepare legislation, which will lighten the duties of this court and enable it to catch up to its docket. Data has been assembled on more than 4,000 cases in which judg- ments were involved during the years 1927 to 1930. The circuit court records were searched and informa- tion obtained on amounts claimed e rand received in each case.

Wood, acting director of the de-: partment, announced yesterday. The first will be a lecture courseE in child guidance, which will beI given by Dr. Nathaniel Hirsch, a visiting instructor from Detroit, who is connected with the Wayne county clinic for child study pro- vided by the Wayne county juvenile E court.I The second course will be given on urban development by the new head of the sociology department, Prof. Roderick D. McKenzie. Profes- sor McKenzie, who is at present in Chicago, where he is engaging in' work with the President's commit- tee on social trends, will take up his directorial duties here at the be- ginning of the second semester. To lighten the circuit court du-I ties, it will be necessary to increase' the jurisdiction of the common pleas court to include some of the work now handled by the higher! court. The practical difficulty in. this work lies in determining the proper point to which the power of the lower court should be raised. When this data is assembled it will be possible to determine accu- rately this point and to frame legis- lation to correct the trouble. At the present time, the circuit court is about three years behindin the disposition of cases ready for trial. The study has been undertaken by the legal research institute at the request of judges and lawyersI in Detroit who are interested in the preparation of legislation to relieve the serious situation that now ex- Thomas O'Brien, chief of police, yesterday stated that he definitely favored the death penalty for first degree murders and the proposal, made recently by the executive committee of the Michigan Police Chiefs' association, that the ex- treme penalty be enforced. Chief O'Brien said, however, that he did not approve of the demands of some members of the committee > which would require the supreme court to pass upon convicted per- sons before the death penalty could be invoked. "I believe," he continued, "that capital punishment is desirable not because of the men who will be punished in this manner but be- cause of the moral effect which the law will have on the statute books. - The penalty should be invoked, a & however, only for first degree mur- ders supported by conclusive evi- C - dence."
