Next month, Granite Staters will vote on a constitutional amendment that would let the Legislature regulate the state court's operations. It's "a very dangerous thing" warns former state Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick.

In an interview with the Concord Monitor editorial board, the UNH Law School Dean points out the Legislature already has oversight responsibilities for the courts by controlling the budget and sitting on the court's judicial conduct and rules committees.

This scope of this proposal, however, "would violate the separation of powers between the two branches of government," said Broderick.

"Courts are designed not to be places where majorities rule," Broderick said. "But the state house is based on majority rule. We need a safe place, as Justice Souter would say, where you can be assured that politics does not influence the end result.

Broderick said lawmakers think the courts have too much power. If the Legislature gained control of court procedures, it would be able to appoint administrative judges and place them in specific counties, or eliminate them entirely, Broderick said.

The Aidan Heavey Library, Athlone in conjunction with Athlone Literary Festival, is holding an exhibition of the works of John Broderick.  Broderick is Athlone’s most prolific (and often controversial) novelist.  He published 13 novels from his debut novel ‘The Pigrimage’ which was published and banned in 1961 to ‘The Irish Magdalen’ which was published posthumously in 1991.

Broderick’s novels were published in London and some of them appeared in U.S. editions, four were published in French translations, one in Lithuanian and one in Spanish.  For the first time ever Athlone Library has on exhibition over 40 books representing his novels in various hardback, paperback and foreign language translations.

The exhibition will be open during normal Library opening hours throughout the month of October.
