Why Vote For Judges?

Trudy — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 05:59:29 +0000

Are you ready to choose your judges?

Judges make all kinds of decisions, from the very personal, such as child custody decisions, to those with much broader impact. The decisions that judges make affect our lives, both directly and indirectly, often for many years to come. We never know when a judge we vote for today, will make a decision that will affect your life and the lives of your family and friends.

It is our responsibility to vote for judges we can trust to make impartial decisions based on their fair consideration of the facts and law. In some cases, this means that judges may make unpopular or controversial decisions. We need to trust that our judges can make those right decisions without regard to political or economic pressure. That’s why it is so important to vote for qualified people to be judges.

The Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening has created a website, VoteForJudges.org and this downloadable guide (which you can print and bring in to the voting booth) Vote For Judges Guide to help you make these important decisions.

Here is a quick summary of some judges up for election or re-election in our area. If a candidate failed to participate int the voteforjudges.org evaluation process, they earned a rating of NR – Not Recommended. The full report is available at http://www.voteforjudges.org/Alliance_ballot_order_2010_General_election.pdf

Ratings

R+ – Highly Recommended / Well Qualified
R – Recommended / Qualified
NR – Not Recommended / Not Qualified
