Where can I find information about state judicial nominating commissions?
For state information on judicial nominating commissions, please see “Table 8: Judicial Nominating Commissions,” in David Rottman et al., State Court Organization, 2004. For further information, see: Section 1.21, “Selection of Judges, subsection (b)(i),” in Standards Relating to Court Organization (Chicago: American Bar Association, 1990) (KF8720 .A44 1990). Charles Sheldon and Linda Maule, Choosing Justice: The Recruitment of State and Federal Judges (Pullman: Washington State University Press, 1997) (KF8776 .S5 1997). Chapter 6, “Appointments to State Courts,” and chapter 7, “Merit Commission for the Recruitment of State Judges,” are especially helpful. Marla N.Greenstein, Handbook for Judicial Nominating Commissioners (Chicago: American Judicature Society, 1985) (KF8776 .G67).
