Excerpt from Journal of the American Judicature Society, Vol. 6: To Promote the Efficient Administration of Justice; June, 1922 Based upon an analysis of the situation thus roughly expressed there has grown up in recent years an idea of providing the judicial institution with the organs which it lacks; of simplifying its structure; of tying together its several parts; of en abling it to inventory its work and its resources so that the work can be done promptly and economically. This is commonly called unification of the courts. The principal of controlling procedure through court-made rules is a necessary part of this idea.

Excerpt from Journal of the American Judicature Society, Vol. 2: To Promote the Efficient Administration of Justice; June, 1918 The readers' attention is called at the start to the fact that these are two distinct subjects, and not two phases of a single subject. It may be well to attempt definitions to prevent confusion in the use of terms. Conciliation procedure involves submission of a controversy by the parties in person, and without attorneys, to a special tribunal or commission; the hear ing is private and procedure is entirely informal; the parties tell their stories and the conciliation judge or commissioner advises them of their respective rights and urges them to agree upon an equitable settlement; if an agreement is made it is entered as a judgment; except in disputes of an exceptional nature no claimant will be permitted to begin an action in a court of law until he has received a certificate showing that there has been an attempt at conciliation. Such procedure is adapted to controversies involving large amounts as well as small. Informal procedure in small claims causes implies summary trial before a judge who dispenses with all needless etiquette but makes a finding of facts and awards a judgment in accordance with the law and the facts. The court is public and the parties are permitted to have attorneys if they so wish. Conciliation procedure had its origin over a century ago in Norway and Den mark when these countries had one sovereign. It met with immediate success and remains today, after numerous political and social changes, the cornerstone of the structure of judicial procedure in both nations and a cherished social institution. We present an excellent description of modern conciliation procedure in Norway in our first article, and supplement it with a brief statement of conciliation procedure under the new judicial code which took effect in Denmark in 1916.
