Opinion of lawyers on judges

| June 27, 1969. Thawee told Moerman that judges who were regularly sent to the province of Chiang Mai would be great addition to the work, because the Chiang Mai Provincial Court was important and there were many cases where they had contact with foreigners. The Director-General of the Department focused on the court. Sanserm, who was very intelligent, was sent to be stationed here. In the future, he might become the president of the Supreme Court because of his abilities and his family background. His father was a professor of law whose followers held key positions in the Ministry of Justice. | Punch card

Judges.

| April 29, 1969. Two judges who recently moved to the Chiang Mai Provincial Court were only 30 years old. Both had graduated from the U.S. This was probably a factor in their transferral to Chiang Mai, because several judges had graduated from foreign countries. The judge had to be aware of their conduct both inside and outside of the court. | Punch card

Job Promotion

| April 4, 1969. Pat provided information about the process for the promotion of judges who had graduated from abroad. They had a better opportunity to be transferred than those who graduated within the country. However, seniority was also an important factor to the Head, who did not take into account difference between graduation from either foreign or domestic institutions. The Head played an important role in the promotion decision, and was also the person who assigned the cases to the judges by looking at the individual responsibility and appropriate expertise. | Punch card

Grievance to settle a lawsuit

| February 17, 1969. Moerman was requested by Winit not to use the recorder in a case of litigation in Chiang Mai between the family Na and the family Nimmanahaeminda. Both families were the well-known in the province, and Winit felt uncomfortable being responsible for this case as he had good relations with both families. Most people had an understanding that judges were not afraid of any influence, whereas in fact, judges had to worry about the public interest when settling a lawsuit between parties. | Punch card

Third, they also talked about the disappearance of a witness during a trial because they were corrupt. Fourth, the power of the courts were beyond the control of the government.
