Radical Change
In Reviewing
Cases Expected
Corpus Christ!, June 26 if)—
An associate justice of the
Texas Supreme Court said in
Corpus Christi today a radical
change is needed in the meth-
od of reviewing cases that go
before the highest state court.
Associate Justice James Nor-
vell predicted that the pressure
of increasing litigation may
force a restriction of the Su-
preme Court’s functions.
Said Norvell:
“Unless some radical change
is made tin the method of re-
viewing cases that come to the
Supreme Court from the courts
of civil appeals, the Supreme
Court in the years to come will
again fall behind in its work.”
Norvell spoke at ceremonies
dedicating a new building for
one of the state’s newest ap-
pellate courts, the 13th Court
of Civil Appeals. The appeals
court serves the Victoria, Cor-
pus Christi and lower Rio
Grande Valley areas.
