: ACS BlogJustice at Stake: The New Politics of Judicial Elections
Justice at Stake released a new report on “The New Politics of Judicial Elections in the Great Lake States, 2000-2008.” From the introduction:
Attorneys, business interests, ideological groups and political partisans have locked themselves into an escalating arms race. Judges and justices routinely raise millions of dollars from contributors whose cases they decide. Campaign ads are designed to destroy confidence in the integrity of the candidates. Above all, special interests are working to convert judicial elections into a tool of political intimidation rather than public accountability.
This report details how these recent trends are turning the “Great Lakes” states into leading battlefields in the growing national struggle for the courts.
