IN RE: PRE-TRIAL REQUIREMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, this Board by Miscellaneous Resolution 4153 dated April 15, 1963,
requested the Oakland County Bar Association to make a study of the effect of pre-trial
requirements, adopted in the Michigan General Court Rules for 1963, on County operating
costs, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Oakland County Bar Association has
passed a resolution dated May 20, 1963, incorporated herein as follows:
WHEREAS, the New Michigan Court Rule providing for compulsory
pre-trial in all cases results in a waste of time for Court and Counsel, and
WHEREAS, some cases do not need pre-trial and compulsory pre-trial
does not expedite justice, and
WHEREAS., compulsory pre-trial procedure in all cases causes unnecessary
additional inconvenience and expense to the public;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Michigan Court Rule be
amended to provide that pre-trial shall be compulsory if demanded by Court
or Counsel for any party to the cause.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be forwarded
to the Circuit Judges of Oakland County and the several Judges of the
Supreme Court for the State of Michigan.
and
WHEREAS, this Committee is of the opinion that such an amendment to the Michigan
General Court Rules of 1963 would expedite justice and decrease expense to the public;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Board go on record as supporting
the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Oakland County Bar Association and that
the County Clerk be authorized to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the
Circuit Judges of Oakland County with a request that they forward the same to the
Supreme Court of the State of Michigan.
