From Judicial Election To Merit Selection: A Time For Change In Illinois, Nancy Ford
From Judicial Election To Merit Selection: A Time For Change In Illinois, Nancy Ford
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This Article focuses on one of the paramount issues surrounding the 1970 Constitution. Illinois' current method of selecting judges by election is compared to selection by appointment. The Article analyzes the quality, accountability and independence of judges under both methods. While finding relatively little difference in quality or accountability under either system, the article concludes that greater judicial independence calls for a change to some form of appointive merit selection.

In 1980, Seattle established a judicial merit selection process for the Seattle Municipal Court, based on an approach used in many other jurisdictions and by the federal government under President Carter. The Seattle plan represents the first time a merit selection commission of lawyers and lay people has been used for nonfederal appointments in Washington. The two individuals subsequently appointed to the Seattle Municipal Court have gone through one of this state's most rigorous judicial selection processes.
In this article, we will review how judges are presently selected in this state, the various methods of choosing judges in other jurisdictions …

Judicial Selection In New York: A Need For Change, James Edward Lozier
Judicial Selection In New York: A Need For Change, James Edward Lozier
Fordham Urban Law Journal
On February 27, 1974 Chief Judge Charles D. Breitel of the New York State Court of Appeals addressed the New York Legislature regarding the "State of the Judiciary and Judicial System" and presented dramatic proposals for the reform of the New York state court system. In resurrecting the problem of court reform, the Chief Judge focused in part on one particularly controversial area-the selection of the judiciary. New Yorkers, as well as many other Americans, have become increasingly cognizant of the problem of inefficient administration of the judicial system by some of our nation's state and federal judges. A full …
Book Review
Missouri Law Review
Charles Blackmar reviews Richard A. Watson and Rondal G. Downing’s 1969 publication: The Politics of the Bench and the Bar. The authors undertake to answer the difficult question of whether judges appointed under the plan are "better" than those chosen in partisan elections. The study employs five statistical compilations as follows: (1) lawyer evaluation of quality; (2) lawyer evaluation of impartiality; (8) standing in bar polls; (4) standing in popular vote in retention; and (5) affirmance-reversal record. The authors concede that the use of the last mentioned factor may be subject to question since the judge who is too afraid …
