註釋These records include volumes of press clippings and releases (1958-1968), materials compiled for entries submitted for the American Bar Association's Award of Merit competitions (1946, 1947, 1953, 1957,1959, 1962); and certificates of award and recognition. Prominent in the press materials is documentation of the Iowa State Bar Association's role in passage of the 21st amendment to Iowa's constitution which replaced the partisan election of judges with the American Bar Association plan for non-political selection and tenure. Iowa was the first state to adopt the plan for all trial courts of general jurisdiction as well as its state Supreme Court. The ISBA was instrumental in researching and drafting the amendment, securing approval by the Iowa general assemblies in 1959 and 1961, and conducting a public information campaign to win popular support. Copies of the 1962 Award of Merit entry in this collection further detail the ISBA's efforts in securing a favorable vote on the amendment.
