Garreth DeVoe authored an article in the Winter issue of the ABA
TYL Magazine, "Removing Politics From State Judicial
Selection." While federal courts may determine wide-ranging
constitutional issues and receive the most press attention, 95
percent of all cases in the United States are filed in state
courts. State courts address significant legal issues (e.g.,
striking abortion laws, revising congressional district maps that
have been gerrymandered, etc.). State court judges' roles
include the fair application of laws, but fairness may come into
question when considering how state court judges are selected.
