Being Well Informed discusses judicial reform in Maryland. Why is there disparity in sentencing? What is an "Emmett Till Courthouse?" Is the Judicial Nominating Committee process flawed? What makes the voting process for judges confusing?

Why Does the Judiciary Need Reform? Guests Rev. Ricky Nelson Jones; Marylin Pierre

You'll learn about:  Inspired by Thurgood Marshall Running to achieve more diversity on the bench - outside the current appointment system Need for More Attention to Juvenile Law in Montgomery County Judgeships in Montgomery County   8 people running for 7 positions Marylin the only one who wasn’t appointed 7 judges are running to retain their appointed seats These judges are appointed by the Governor Judges must run during the first election after appointment to retain their seats Their seats are rarely challenged     On the process of appointing judges and incumbent judge advantages in the election   Judge candidates must fill out applications for bar associations Bar associations make recommendations to the Governor’s Commission that recommends judge candidates to the Governor (the Governor appoints the members of the commission) Governor appoints attorneys to become judges Lots of politics involved in the process - the bar associations evaluate judge applicants, submit recommendations to the Governor’s commission and the Governor’s Commission sends a couple of recommendations for each vacancy   Is the judge selection system just? Should we have a different system?   Perhaps not completely fair in Montgomery County Each county bar association is powerful Other Maryland counties do not charge a fee for judge candidates to apply for a judgeship candidate review - MoCo private bar associations charge $100 The MoCo bar association has 4 representatives out of the 13 total on the Governor’s Commission The MoCo Commission reveals to other candidates before the commission how they voted on all the other candidates. The other bar associations don’t do this. Yet - there is an ability to run for judge without an appointment.   On Judges and Understanding People Coming Before the Court   Lack of Understanding / Empathy Persists in Courts   Circuit Courts in Montgomery County   Appeals Function (From State Agency Administrative Process Findings) Family Law Cases are the bulk of the cases   Office of Administrative Hearings   Administrative Law Judges   On the Occasional Inhumanity / Humanity of the Justice System   Depending on if the court identifies with the person being judged   After 18 months in Montgomery County, Judges rotate into different dockets (juvenile law to another type of law)
