Judges are appointed by executives, elected by the voters, or appointed through a merit selection process. The various selection systems produce judges with very similar backgrounds, including local ties and past political involvement. No evidence exists that one selection system systematically produces better or worse judges than another, although research does reveal some differences in judicial approaches to decision making. Describe the system you believe is best and provide support for your argument.

Answer to Question 1

There are three main methods of judicial selectionexecutive or legislative appointment, judicial election, and merit selection. Executive appointments entail the appointment of judges by the President or by state governors, while legislative appointments entail the selection of judges by state legislators. Judges may also be selected via partisan or nonpartisan elections in states. The third method of selection at the state level is the merit system, which is also known as the Missouri Bar Plan. It is a hybrid system that incorporates elements of the other methods of selection. With merit selection, a nominating commission made up of lawyers and laypersons suggests a list of qualified nominees (usually three), from which the governor selects a judge. This person is put on the bench and, after a short period of time in office, will be considered for retention. A retention ballot is brought before the public to determine whether or not the judge should be retained.
Following a description of one of these types of judicial selection the student should make a reasoned argument for their choice of one as the best.
