DRI releases judicial independence report
DRI, the Voice of the Defense Bar, released a report this week called “Without Fear or Favor 2011 – A New Decade of Challenges to Judicial Independence and Accountability.”
The report looks at the negative ramifications of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision on judicial independence. In addition the report examines widespread funding cuts for judiciary systems across the country, judicial recusal after the Caperton decision, performance evaluations, and diversity of elected and appointed judges.
