Memorandum for the Attorney General: A friend who was in to see me yesterday commented that, generally speaking, our Courts are far behind in their work--many of them years behind. He had looked into the matter to some extent and came to the conclusion that much of the delay was caused by the highly technical and scientific nature of many of the cases reaching the Courts.
It was his suggestion that authority be sought to bring in special technical consultants, such as specially qualified engineers or scientists, to assist the Judges in dealing with highly technical cases. It seems to me that the idea might have real merit and I am passing it to you with this in mind.1
