State judicial elections are governed by a unique set of rules that
enforce longstanding norms of judicial independence by limiting how
judicial candidates campaign. These rules have been a key part of
recent debates over judicial elections and have been the subject of
several U.S. Supreme Court cases. Regulating Judicial Elections
provides the first accounting of the efficacy and consequences of
such rules. C. Scott Peters re-frames debates over judicial
elections by shifting away from all-or-nothing claims about threats
to judicial independence and focusing instead on the trade-offs
inherent in our checks and balances system. In doing so, he is able
to examine the costs and benefits of state ethical restrictions.
Peters finds that while some parts of state codes of conduct
achieve their desired goals, others may backfire and increase the
politicization of judicial elections. Moreover, modest gains in the
protection of independence come at the expense of the effectiveness
of elections as accountability mechanisms. These empirical findings
will inform ongoing normative debates about judicial elections.
