Suppose he served unsatisfactorily. I think it would be
|
|
2
|
unfortunate to have him in for fifteen years. I think
|
|
3
|
there is another aspect to it, and that Judge Brune's
|
|
4
|
suggestion does cover. That is to say, that the judge
|
|
5
|
will bo giving orders to other judges, and the sentiment
|
|
6
|
expressed at one meeting by a judge, not now present, was
|
|
7
|
that that person who is giving these orders should have the
|
|
8
|
prestige, the power and the background of the head judge
|
|
9
|
so he could give real orders. To come back to Massachu-
|
|
10
|
setts, the Chief Judge does it. It would seem to me this
|
|
11
|
is a pretty fair compromise , and whether you call him
|
|
12
|
administrative judge or not seems to be immaterial, if
|
|
13
|
the Chief Justice can appoint a judge to do the adminis-
|
|
14
|
tration, and who does it, and can be changed for cause;
|
|
15
|
that seems to me to cover the problem.

JUDGE BRUNE : May I make one or two comments
|
|
17
|
in reply to Judge Niles1 suggestion? I have in mind pos-
|
|
18
|
sible qualifications for a person to be appointed adminis-
|
|
19
|
trative judge. He should, have had some experience, either
|
|
20
|
as a trial judge or in court administration v;ork. Now,
|
|
21
|
if he gets to doing his job badly end the question arises
