In recent years, judicial elections have changed dramatically. The
elections themselves have become increasingly partisan, interest
group involvement in judicial races has escalated, recent court
decisions have freed judicial candidates to speak more openly than
ever before about their judicial ideologies, and the tenor of
judicial campaigns has departed significantly from what were once
low-key, sleepy affairs. This book examines the evolution of the
new rough-and-tumble politics of judicial elections by focusing on
Texas, a bellwether for the new judicial selection politics in
America. The Texas experience illustrates what can -- and usually
will -- go wrong when judges are elected, and lays and path for
meaningful reforms to stem the tide of the new politics of judicial
elections.
