Sandra Day O’Connor: How To Save Our Courts
Justice O’Connor has this commentary in the Parade Magazine. She writes:
I believe the long-term solution to the politicization of the judiciary process is education. Children, voters, policymakers and lawyers all should be informed about the importance of a fair, impartial judiciary. Judges should write their opinions in plain English so that the public can understand what the law is.
You also should educate yourself, an especially important task if you live in one of the 39 states that holds elections for judges . . .
