How to Get Into The Judge Game

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 7:52 pm


Topics such as outright bribery and similar judicial corruption aren’t usually subtle or controversial enough to warrant treatment here at ethicalEsq?   I mean, who is in favor of bribing judges? [Rhetorical question, Jack.]  On the otherhand, outright silliness about judicial corruption certainly deserves a Weakend Special posting:


There actually is a serious discussion about the way judges get (s)elected in New York State in this week’s online Gotham Gazette. Written by Mark Berkey-Gerard, the article suggests that politics has a lot to do with becoming a judge and offers little hope of reform. (“Judges,” August 8, 2003, available here.)



You might want to scan the article, but you should for sure click on the link to the Gazette‘s newest interactive game that “lets you see if you’ve got what it takes for the Brooklyn bench” — it’s called The Judges Game.


I won’t tell you whether I passed, nor if I wanted to, but you’re encouraged to Comment and/or confide.
