[QUOTE="DDD, post: 525993, member: 35"] Nancy, at one time the local attorneys took a poll and the results were published showing their recommendations. To the best of my knowledge that no longer is true. I could be wrong but I don't recall that juvie judges were included in that polling. I do know that husband and I always vote. There is a wonderful caring former juvie Judge who was often on the bench when I did my GAL work. I have never, ever, had a ballot that included his name. So I am wondering if all areas select the Judiciary in the same way. I do know that on State ballots there are Judges listed and the major newspapers recommend retain or not. The other important factor is how the public learns who is "good" and who is "bad". Most people, like we all used to be sigh, have no interaction with the Court system and just assume "they take care of the bad guys". If you don't have a difficult child you have no idea how the system works. If you do have a difficult child it's not likely you're going to criticize the system or publicize that your family is involved. DDD [/QUOTE]
