Judicial Selection Procedure

I think the Wyoming judicial selection procedure is a fairly good one when it comes to the selection process. I think it is a good idea to have nominees pass through a commission made up of lawyers and laymen. Even though the governor appoints the members of the commission, these members should be able judge whether a judge is qualified. I think the Wyoming judicial selection procedure is less good when it comes to retention. I do think it is a good idea for the people to have a say in retention. However, as the data about Justice Voight proves, not many residents of Wyoming know who he is much less can evaluate the whether he has been doing a good job. I suspect the only reason he was voted for retention is people don’t like change. All
