Jeffersonville, president of the association, said he had ordered the legislative committee to “take no further steps to cecure passage of three bills sponsored by the association.” The association sought to create a judicial council, give the supreme court power to make rules of court procedure, and give the supreme court power to license and discipline attorneys. The judicial council would have been empowered to make a study of court procedure and make recommendations for reform ts the 1937 general assembly and supreme court. Bills creating the council passed the house but never have been reported out of the senate judi- , ciarv committee. Bills giving the supreme court power to promulgate court rules and establish legal professional standards were Introduced in the ”a*e but vigorously opposed by ’awyers in the upper house.
