North Dakota Law Review/Volume 1/Number 3/Compilation of N. D. Supplement

COMPILATION OF N. D. SUPPLEMENT

In addition to having the careful consideration of the Executive Committee of the Association, this matter had the benefit of the best judgment of an exceptionally strong special committee, chairmanned by Hon. Sveinbjorn Johnson, Judge of the Supreme Court. It was recognized that there was presented a distinct opportunity for service to the State by the Association, and the original plan, which also met with the approval of individual attorneys who stand high in the profession, was to have the work placed under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court, the actual work to be parcelled out to a number of attorneys throughout the State.

Costs of publication figures ran so high, however, that the plan had to give way, and the final result was the introduction of House Bill No. 131, which provides for the publication of a supplement to the Compiled Laws of 1913 by the Lawyers Co-operative Publishing Company, at a cost to the State of $6,000, private copies to sell at $14.00.

In this connection attention is called at this time to possible errors and omissions heretofore discovered by individual attorneys in the context, citations or indexes of previous publications, and the request is made that the same be called to the attention of the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Sveinbjorn Johnson, to the end that the same may be corrected in the new publication.
