Criteria Voters Should Consider In Electing Judges
In 2003, the American Bar Association adopted eight principles to guide the selection of judges:
  • Judges should uphold the rule of law.
  • Judges should be independent.
  • Judges should be impartial.
  • Judges should possess the appropriate temperament and character.
  • Judges should possess the appropriate capabilities and credentials.
  • Judges and the judiciary should have the confidence of the public.
  • The judicial system should be racially diverse and reflective of the society it serves.
