Nevada Judicial Elections 2008
As readers here may know, I am not a fan of selecting judges through election. Judges have enough to do interpreting law; worrying about whether interpretations are popular or nor should not be a part of that.
Besides, unlike other political candidates, judicial candidates aren't safe targets for my ridicule. At least, not as long as I still represent clients.
But despite my misgivings about electing judges, I also believe in making the systems we have work as best as they can for as long as we have them. To that end, I believe information about judicial candidates is a good idea.
Harmful Error has begun compiling links to candidate websites. I won't duplicate Jonell's list, but I will try to keep readers informed about events where you can meet candidates--an effort that would be aided, obviously, if people let me know about such events. . .
I am thinking of having a contest for best candidate site. What do you think?
