Scope and content : January 31, March 26, April 3, 1969. Badin observed in the courtroom. A number of interesting observations were noted, as follows: 1) the terminology used to call forward persons in the court: the judge was called using the term “court” and witnesses were called by numbers instead of personal names; 2) In the case of misappropriation of funds by the district clerk for personal use, 2 “phrase complaint” cases were compiled into a single case. This is due to the fact that if every case was on trial, the defendant would have been punished more than was usual 3) Staff of the court, when bringing defendants forward for sentencing or when making judgments, kept their faces expressionless.
