Title:  

Selecting Judges: Merit Selection and Other Matters

 
 Volume/Number:  2009 November 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute is pleased to publish this paper from Dr. Stephen L. Wasby who is Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University at Albany-SUNY. Steve, who is a former Professor of Political Science at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is a nationally recognized expert in the field of constitutional law and judicial processes. In this paper he surveys the various plans for selecting judges utilized by the fifty states. These plans break down broadly into elective versus appointive systems with those who use elections further distinguished by partisan versus non-partisan elections. The most popular plan is the Merit Selection or Missouri Plan which originated in our neighboring state. This plan has received much attention lately and it is the one most directly addressed in Wasbys paper.
