Baldvin, Jr. of Salt Lake City believes the new Insurance Law, set to go into effect Jan. 1, 1974, will alleviate much of the case work jamming up the courts. It cant help but cut down on the case load, said Judge Baldwin. About five to ten percent of our judicial case load is tied u in cases of automobile bodily injury and about 50 percent of these cases are under $500 kind of cases the new law will prevent from coming into court. If five percent of the ming emigrations are uncertain, most naturalists believe they have their origin in overcrowding. Let Many people have trouble finding a job because of lack of experience.

I think we will begin to see a reduction in court cases directly attributable to the work is cut down, just imagine what a reduction in time and money that will be, he said. Judge Baldwin said the exact expenditures for court cases might be difficult to arrive at since the county pays for the courthoise structure and physical equipment and the state pays for judges and court reporters. He said the county pays for the clei k office costs. It would be difficult to say just how much money will be saved, but it will be considerable, said Judge Bald- Law after Marnew ch or April of 1974.

Comments may be made at the Commissions meeting scheduled for Dec. 28, 1973, at 10 a.m. in Room 614 of the State Office Building. A tentative proposal would allow triple trailer units only on continuous sections of multi-lan- e highway and travel would be determined after consultation with adjoining states. Vehicles would be required to adhere to present regulations governing weight and width. Strict adherence to safety regulations and appropriate power requirements would be enforced. The triple trailer units would be initially allowed to operate for one year to give the Highway Department a chance to evaluate the safety and performance record of these units. those outside the judicial court system. The new law will do something else important that is hard to access right now and that concerns the psychology of the man on the street. Even though a bodily injury case may only be for a few hundred dollars, everyone concerned, both parties in the case share a psychological burden. Many persons just dont like to be in court no matter whether they are right or wrong, the injured or the one at fault - there is something about being in court that upsets them. Under the new law, a person is guaranteed hospital costs and expenses in a bodily injury accident up to $2,000, and beyond if he has added insurance. This is paid no matter who is at fault The new law will keep many persons out of court. Many families will not share the burden of a court case. After Jan. 1, a great number of those who might have come into court for a small bodily injury case wont have to have a lawyer, wont have to wait for their money and wont have the dread or suspense hanging over them -the long wait to hear the judges decision, he said.
