Recenzii
Geyh wades into the age-old question of how best to select and retain state court judges. It is a divisive issue that arises whenever there are judicial scandals or court decisions on which the citizenry is deeply divided. Geyh presents an invaluable analysis of the pros and cons of each system and defuses many of the traditional arguments for and against systemic change. A must-read for those interested in preserving public confidence in our state court judiciaries.
Brilliant intellectualism at its core, Who is to Judge? is an expertly crafted discussion of the state judicial selection controversy, in which Geyh denounces stridency while embracing both normative ideals and empirical research. An exceptional contribution, this book is a rare yet outstanding example of how to transcend disciplinary divides, bridge the gap between science and practical politics, and offer constructive solutions the nation's most enduring debates.
Charlie Geyh is at it again—and we should all be thankful that he is! Weighing in once more, the author of 'Why Judicial Elections Stink' has given us his revisionist, evidence-based views on how state judges in this country ought to be selected and retained. Truly outstanding scholarship, irrespective of whether one is for or against electing judges. Who is to Judge is not just erudite - the inimitable 'Geyh writing-style' is fun to read as well. Few legal academics have engaged the social science literature on judicial elections at the level that Geyh does. A definitive and essential contribution to our debates.
