Answer to Question 1
More than 30 states have adopted what is known as the Missouri Plan to select judges. This three-part approach consists of: (1) a judicial commission to nominate candidates for the bench, (2) an elected official (usually from the executive branch) to make appointments from the list submitted by the commission, and (3) subsequent nonpartisan, noncompetitive elections in which incumbent judges run on their records. Some states, such as New York and Texas, use different methods to select judges on the appellate and trial levels. New York State appellate court judges are appointed by the governor, and trial court judges are elected. Criminal court and family court judges in New York City are appointed by the mayor.
