Approximately 100 judges, lawyers, court employees, business people and members of the public attended a symposium on October 18 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Roscoe Pound’s famous speech, “The Causes of Popular Dissatisfaction with the Administration of Justice.” The forum, which took place in the John Adams Courthouse, was sponsored by the Court Management Advisory Board and the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society.
The distinguished speakers and panelists revisited themes from Roscoe Pound’s 1906 critique and examined the goals and accomplishments of the Massachusetts courts in its efforts to improve the administration of justice.
