Wright said Wednes- day. He declared that state and county budget officers block adequate financing for the judi- cial system's fundamental needs. "The judicial system cannot effectively function without adequate staffing and sufficient financial support," Wright told a joint luncheon of san Tran- cisco bar associations. The meeting marked the first anniversary of a joint bench and bar Ir ogram to clear the backlogged trial calendare in san Francisco's Superior Courts. Wright said the san Fran- cisco courts were under f1- ranced. He said the related of fices of the district attorney, public defender and the staffs of the probation office and county clerk also were under- financed. The problem is not confined to san Francisco, O9 he said. cost the state level, we find that the fundamental needs of the judicial system are also being routinely ignored or blue- penciled by the budget officers of the executive department," Wright said. "Insofar as state financing is concerned, the Judicial Council has taken the position that the financial needs of the judicial branch of government should be placed before the legislature without advance restrictions or deletions imposed by the execu- tive branch in advance of legis- lative action. 03-29-72 06.57pps For information contact: Legat National Center for State Courts Courts 1616 H Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Alice O'Donnell, Acting Secretary (202) 393-1640, ext. 501-502 For release September 27, 1971 WASHINGTON, D. C. JUSTICE WINSLOW CHRISTIAN NAMED DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL CENTER FOR STATE COURTS Justice Winslow Christian of the California Court of Appeal has been named the first Executive Director of the new at its temporary headquarters National Center for State Courts/in Washington, D. C., it was announced today by Justice Paul C. Reardon, of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Center. Justice Christian will serve on leave of absence from his present post. The new organization was established, at the urging of United States Chief Justice Warren Burger at the National Conference on the Judiciary held at Williamsburg, Virginia earlier this year, to develop proposals for reform of state court systems. "The critical question facing our judicial system today is how we can provide justice, promptly and fairly, to the in- creasing numbers of citizens who are bringing their disputes to the courts, " said Justice Reardon, who was active in founding the Center. "We must reduce delays in the courts and improve the administration of justice, in both criminal and civil cases, if our state courts are to continue to serve effectively as insti- tutions for the peaceful and rational settlement of disputes in this time of turmoil. "The purpose of the National Center is to provide assistance to state courts in planning and carrying out changes that are urgently needed." Prior to his appointment to the Court of Appeal in 1966, Christian served as Administrator of the State Health and Welfare Agency of California. Christian also served as a trial judge and as a state prosecutor. He received his bachelor's and law degrees from Stanford University and taught law in Rangoon, Burma, on a Fulbright Fellowship after graduation from law school. He is married and has three children. Christian is presently a member of the California Judicial Council, the rulemaking body for the California courts, and is on the Board of Directors of the American Judicature Society and the Executive Board of the Appellate Justices' Conference of the American Bar Association. The National Center for State Courts will be funded by private foundation grants and federal funds appropriated for improvement of state courts. A Ford Foundation grant financed the establishment of the Center. Justice Reardon is chairman and Justice Louis H. Burke of the Supreme Court of California is vice-chairman of the Center's governing board. The members of the Board, all of whom are state court judges selected on nomi- nation of the eighteen national organizations active in state court administration and reform, are representative of the nation's state courts of every level.
