Book Description
The reality for Texas judges is that in order to be elected or reelected, they must be either rich or really good at begging. Increasingly, they also have to be "pure" supporters of their political party. Texans tell pollsters that the big campaign money needed for elections influences judicial decisions—an opinion with which lawyers agree, as do a surprising number of judges. But Texans also tell pollsters that we should keep electing judges (despite the fact that every two years hundreds of thousands of us don’t even vote in judicial elections). The end result is a judicial election system that is merely a crapshoot.
