- Judicial Retention Elections
-
Every four years, many voters and their friends and families wonder, "Who are these supreme court and court of appeal justices for whom I am asked to vote? How can I learn something about them? And what are these supreme and appellate courts anyway?" This paper was prepared by the California Judges Association to answer these questions.
- Jurisprudential Philosophy
-
Judges are bound by and must follow the law set forth in the U.S. and California Constitutions, statutes, initiatives adopted by voters, and case precedents.
