Answer to Question 1

Merit selection sifts out unqualified applicants and searches out the most qualified. Judicial candidates are spared the potentially compromising process of party slating, raising money, and campaigning. Professional qualifications are emphasized and political credentials are de-emphasized. Judges chosen through merit selection don't find themselves trying cases brought by attorneys who gave them campaign contributions. Highly qualified applicants will be more willing to be selected and to serve under merit selection because they will not have to compromise themselves to get elected.

Answer to Question 2

False
