Across the country, races for judgeships are becoming more and
more politically contested. As a result, several states and cities
are now considering judicial election reform. Running for Judge
examines the increasingly contentious judicial elections over the
last twenty-five years by providing a timely, insightful analysis
of judicial elections. The book ties together the current state of
the judicial elections literature, and presents new evidence on a
wide range of important topics, including: the history of judicial
elections; an understanding of the types of judicial elections;
electoral competition during races; the increasing importance of
campaign financing; voting in judicial elections; the role interest
groups play in supporting candidates; party organizing in
supposedly non-partisan elections; judicial accountability; media
coverage; and judicial reform of elections.
Running for Judge is an engaging, accessible, empirical analysis
of the major issues surrounding judicial elections, with
contributions from prominent scholars in the fields of judicial
politics, political behavior, and law.
