Resolutions pointing out that in the cases arising from the riots the courts had not given enough consideration to the fact that the Jews were the attacked and had acted in self-defence, that the police in most cases had failed to discover the guilty, that none of the chief instigators had been punished and that false evidence was strikingly evident were adopted at the annual All-Palestine conference of Jewish lawyers.
Other resolutions blamed the Inquiry Commission for exceeding its terms of references, welcomed the admission of a Jewish woman to the bar but protested at the government’s attempt to restrict her rights despite the decision of the High Court, expressed indignation that there was no Jewish judge in the Haifa district court for almost two years, and joined the entire Jewish community in protesting against the activities of Dr. Judah L. Magnes.
