Scope and Content Note
The series consists of published volumes of annual reports of the council on its proceedings and the work of various courts of the state, which it was required by law to transmit to the legislature. The council could also make supplemental reports and supporting studies as necessary. Reports include information on the condition of business within the courts, including many statistical tables (on intake and disposition of civil and criminal cases, work of grand juries, business in clerks' offices, totals of cases pending and delay, etc.), and extensive recommendations (new and renewed) which required action by the legislature to improve the administration of justice.
The two volumes in the series cover the periods December 31, 1934 to December 31, 1935 (Second Annual Report, 1936); and December 31, 1947 to December 31, 1948 (Fifteenth Annual Report, 1949).
