Here’s some very, very, very raw notes.
fox – appellate selection – most current appelate judges haven’t served as superior judges, electing of judges then have a retention election
anderson – unlikely we can change the way NC selects judges – legislative actions – how many folks of high quality are discouraged form running? the current system kind of screens out good candidates – don’t want to expose themselves to election – %85 of electorate (Timson) doesn’t know candidates or issues in current election….
Will, I didn’t think Adam Stein’s answer to Allen Baddour’s question was especially peculiar. I think Adam (rightly) saw the “over the next 8 years” part of the question as a veiled reference to the mandatory retirement age, and that Adam took the opportunity to respond accordingly.
Good point Eric.
BTW Eric, ever think of running for Superior Court?
