Abstract

Presents a proposition for restructuring the judicial career system to formalize the process and provide a track for upward mobility based upon merit promotions. One of the goals of such a system is to attract bright, young attorneys to the “inferior” bench. The author created and used a judicial questionnaire to solicit information of judges’ work background and opinions.
