This is the question that voters, attorneys, judges, and legal scholars have been asking for years. And it is an especially important question to ask before voting in a judicial election. While the study of judicial effectiveness is as much an art as a science, Court Watch NOLA has a suggested answer to that question in its new op-ed piece on the Project Justice NOLA website.
The Project Justice NOLA site also has an Op-Ed on right-sizing the courts from the Bureau of Governmental Research, with more op-ed and think pieces to come over the next couple of weeks. This site, Court Watch NOLA’s “Elected Officials” pages, and WYES’s candidate interview site (http://www.wyes.org/criminal-justice/orleans-parish-criminal-district-court-judicial-races-november-4-2014/ ) are great ways to get educated before voting on Nov. 4!
