Abstract
It has been proposed that a state commission to study matrimonial statutes be created in New York. While this proposal has merit, New York state should in any event adopt legal procedures requiring compulsory conciliation where parties to a marriage undertake formal proceedings for legal separation or divorce.
Perhaps the most remarkable progress in this direction has been made in California and in Wisconsin, and we believe the experiences of these two states provide a helpful pattern for new procedures in New York. We think that New York law dealing with conciliation in marriage must be amended and strengthened if our courts are to curb effectively the run-away divorce rate and check consequent juvenile delinquency. We shall suggest specific proposals for consideration by the legislature.
