How do you balance judicial independence with accountability? Arizona answers this question using a modified version of the Missouri Plan to select appellate and many lower court judges. In this episode, we explore the evolution of judicial selection in the United States, from competitive elections to the federal appointment model and the Missouri Plan’s hybrid approach.
Learn why Arizona rejected lifetime appointments, embraced elements of direct democracy, and implemented a system blending gubernatorial appointments with voter retention elections. We’ll break down the three-tiered structure of Arizona’s judiciary, the role of nominating commissions, and the ongoing debates about the balance of professionalism, democracy, and independence in the judicial system.
Join us as we examine how Arizona’s unique approach shapes its courts and reflects its political values.
