Abstract:
In the November elections, the voters of North Carolina will have an opportunity to take a significant step towards a general improvement in the administration of justice in the State. Three constitutional amendments affecting the courts are to be voted on at that time: the general assembly shall have the power to prescribe the number of regular Superior court judges in each judicial district; that the chief justice of the Supreme Court shall exercise the authority now exercised by the Governor in the assignment of judges; that any person, when represented by counsel, may waive indictment in all except criminal cases.
