JUDICIAL REFORM: WHY IT IS CRITICAL FOR OKLAHOMA
Learn how we appoint judges and why it’s not working. We’ll look at two issues:
- No judicial officer has ever been voted out in a retention election, so they effectively serve terms for life.
- The critical need to repeal Oklahoma’s Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). Politics should not be dominated by progressive trial lawyers but rather the people’s elected officials.
