We'll talk about the Maine judiciary. How are judges chosen in Maine? Compare Maine's judicial selection process to the federal system and to other states. What standards of judicial ethics apply? Are judges in Maine subject to undue influence by narrow special or partisan interests? Are judges in Maine facing escalating threats, the way judges are in other states? What insulates Maine? How fragile are our protections?
