The Tulsa World recently published an article devoted to the 70+ attorneys who volunteer their time for the benefit of the public and the Court. The article by David Harper can be found here.
When stripped of television and anecdotal stories of runaway juries, law and justice in the United States is typically doled out in the conference rooms of America. The overwhelming majority of cases filed are ultimately disposed by settlement or Court order. In this regard, adjunct settlement judges serve as the legal surrogate to Article III of our Constitution.
Considering the framers only provided for one court - the Supreme Court - there is little doubt they placed confidence in the wisdom of future courts to fashion these unique dispute resolution systems.
