Although it may seem that WeirdOfTheNews has been doing a lot of judge-bashing lately, I’m simply passing on what the media prints. Case in point:
“The Mississippi Supreme Court’s chief justice says changes are needed to restore faith in the state’s courts, which have been damaged by a string of allegations of judicial misconduct.
“Chief Justice Ed Pittman’s plans for reform: Switch from elected to appointed judges in the higher courts, allow cameras in the courtrooms, impose stricter codes of conduct and establish a review system if a judge refuses to recuse himself when there is a potential conflict of interest.
“‘The majority of this court recognizes that we need to make some changes,’ Pittman said. ‘We are on the road to total recovery and absolute total neutral service to the people of this state,” the AP report here.
