Subject: Loyola L.Rev. articles on judicial elections

I'm asked to note, for anyone interested in judicial elections, that the
latest issue of Loyola (Los Angeles) Law Review has 160 pages of papers
from last December's Chief Justices' Summit (17 CJs) on judicial
elections, including the "Call To Action" that came out of that
session.  These seven papers (of 13 at the Summit) are on, e.g., parties
and interest groups in judicial elections, judicial retention elections
and evaluation programs, public funding, campaign conduct rule
enforcement, and campaign finance in judicial elections.

Just to piggy-back on that:  this coming November, a group of Chief
Justices are holding a Symposium on Judicial Campaign Conduct and the
First Amendment, to discuss the Canon limiting such conduct, judicial
decisions limiting the Canon, and also non-candidate groups' advocacy in
judicial elections.
