The Gideon vs. Gault case prompted the U.S. Supreme Court to revise this precedent and also how the state's responded to the court's ruling.

Abstract:
The first six districts assigned either 2-4 judges each began hearing both civil and criminal cases in 1967. Of these judges, some have prior judicial experience, fifteen are lawyers, and two have no previous experience; a stipulation in the Constitution does not require legal training to become a judge. Reflections on the 1967 year show generally favorable conditions in personnel, cost, and efficiency and the next group of counties to switch in December 1968 should experience a smooth transition.

In November 1966, voters in twenty-two counties elected seventeen district court judges as the first implementation of the State's revamped lower court system. The twenty-two counties were located in districts 1, 12, 14, 16, 25, and 30.
