Empirical data show that, despite the significant electoral success of state court judges, elections still impact judicial decision-making, and elected judges are less consistent in their voting patterns than appointed judges. In addition, if interest in state judicial elections continues to wane and these contests are not robust, states no longer even benefits from the participatory advantages of an elective system. Using the State of Wisconsin as an example, this Article suggests that Wisconsin and other state legislatures, with the support of bar associations and academics, should revisit the historical underpinnings of judicial elections, and consider both whether electing judges conforms with the historical goals of having an elected judiciary and whether the available empirical data support the belief that elected judges can be systematically consistent and independent in the decision-making process.

Does the way in which judges are chosen affect public perceptions of them? This study examines how methods of judicial selection and the amount of experience affects the publics perceptions of a ruling. Existing research is conflicted about the extent to which courts have the ability to manipulate public opinion; at the state level, where judges are selected through a mixture of elective and appointive schemes, this relationship is particularly unclear. To investigate this relationship, an experiment embedded in a national study was conducted in which participants were exposed to a fictional, but plausible, judicial ruling. The results show selection method and experience did not affect either the amount of opinion change or the publics acceptance of the judicial decision.

This unique empirical study investigates how the method of judicial selection significantly affects state-supreme-court policies in several important areas of law—business, criminal procedure, and family law. After examining different theories and surveying the research about judicial selection, this comparative study of policies in six states—Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia—challenges current assumptions. The author finds that appointed judges prefer the interests of the individual over those of the state in criminal-procedure cases and are the most innovative in business law; that elected judges prefer the interests of the state over the individual; and that legislatively selected judges acquiesce to the policy preferences of other branches of government and are the most inactive in terms of policy initiation. For students and teachers in law, political science, and history; for lawyers and judges; for interest groups concerned about state policy; and for policymakers and other professionals concerned with American government and public administration.

The judicial selection debate continues. Merit selection is used by a majority of states but remains the least well understood method for choosing judges. Proponents claim that it emphasizes qualifications and diversity over politics, but there is little empirical evidence regarding its performance. In Judicial Merit Selection, Greg Goelzhauser amasses a wealth of data to examine merit selection's institutional performance from an internal perspective. While his previous book, Choosing State Supreme Court Justices, compares outcomes across selection mechanisms, here he delves into what makes merit selection unique--its use of nominating commissions to winnow applicants prior to gubernatorial appointment. Goelzhauser's analyses include a rich case study from inside a nominating commission's proceedings as it works to choose nominees; the use of public records to examine which applicants commissions choose and which nominees governors choose; evaluation of which attorneys apply for consideration and which judges apply for promotion; and examination of whether design differences across systems impact performance in the seating of qualified and diverse judges. The results have critical public policy implications.

The goal of a judicial selection system is, and should be, not to simply fill vacancies, but to select the best candidates for judicial positions. This should be so, since the judiciary serves an important function in any society, that is, of preserving the rule of law and administering justice. A mechanism which ensures that only the most qualified candidates are selected, results in increased confidence in the judiciary, and in the system of administration of justice. Legal systems diverge in ways of selecting and appointing judges, with the same objective of balancing judicial independence with accountability. This study is a comparative analysis of the different judicial selection mechanisms, focusing on one of the pillars of the judicial appointive process, the judicial nominating commission or judicial councils. Utilizing comparative, descriptive-analytical, and historical approaches, this study reviews the methods of judicial selection and appointment in general, as a way to contrast and to better understand the selection process in the Philippines, and determine whether the same may be improved by adopting the best practices as employed in the different countries reviewed.
