THE AMERICUS TIM
iWOMEN/ILLDWEOTO
HOLD MKISTRiTE’S
pike in n
PETROGRAD, August 14. —The re-
I form of Russia’s judicial system, pro
: ceeding rapidly under the provisional
I government, has brought with it the
institution of women magistrates, un
: known elsewhere in Europe.
The higher courts already have beet
reformed. One of the new govern
ment’s first acts was to re-introduce
<he famous “Judicial Statute,” promul-!
gated by Alexander 11. in 1864 during!
his brief reforming fit after the Cri-1
‘mean war, but abolished by his reac
|ticnary successors. The reform of the
minor local courts, the peasant courts
: and the police courts is a more compli
-1 ct ted task, but virtually it is accom
plished.
Chief is the reform of the courts of
• peace, corresponding to police courts
in ether European states. The system
o* peasant jurisdiction also has-been
reformed by the abolition of the volost ‘
courts. Before the revolution the real j
judicial authority in the villages was 1
the “Rural Chief,” of Zemski Natchal I
nik, usually a retired army officer or
other person without legal training,
who was also administrator of peas
ant affairs; and, therefore, was often
i i:i a position to justify as magistrate
|his own illegal acts as administrator. ‘
The jural chiefs have all been dis
missed and, for the peasants as al-1
ready for the so-called “privileged
classes,” justice is definitely severed
'from administration.
| The reform of the courts of the
I peace is radical. Formerly a si*gle
I magistrate of the peace sat in judg-
I ment. In future three magistrates will
j sit, the chairman having the rank of
I justice of the peace, and the two oth
ers being members of the peace court.
The electoral principle on American
lines is introduced. By a law of June.
1 1912, the old government consented to
election of peace magistrates, but the
law was only partially put in force, as
it was distasteful to reactionary min
isters. The law of 1912 will now ev
'erywhere be put in force.
I The qualification for voting for the
I magistrates has been democratized, as
I was demanded by the duina in 1912.
Henceforth, any person of either sex,
more than twenty-five years old, who
has passed a secondary school or
higher school examination, may be
elected justice of the peace. This
opens the position of petty judge to
practically all women of the middle
and upper classes, and to many wo
men from the poorer classes. Men
and women without this educational
qualification may be elected if they
ha ve had legal experience as court offi
cials, or as lawyer’s clerks. As sub
ordinate “members of the peace court”
! sitting with the chairman or chair
| woman, any man or woman who can
I read and write may be elected.
An appeal, as Heretofore, will lie
to tlie peace sessions (Mirovoi Syezd).
'The reform Russia's system of
'petty administration cf justice one of
the most democratic in the world.
