and those which do not. Of all of the States, the only
|
|
2
|
ones that require judges to be selected from specific
|
|
3
|
geographic districts are Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
|
|
4
|
Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South
|
|
5
|
Dakota. All of the rest permit the judges to be selected
|
|
6
|
from any part of the State.

JUDGE CARTER : Kow are they where they permit
|
|
8
|
selection from any part of the State, how are they
|
|
9
|
selected?

|
MR. MARTINEAU: In Illinois I know it is
|
|
11
|
nomination by political party.
|
|
12
|
JUDGE CARTER: No. In States where there is
|
|
13
|
no requirement that they come from a particular district,
|
|
14
|
how does that, in fact, work out so far as geographical
|
|
15
|
distribution of memberships?
|
|
16
|
MR. MARTINEAU: Where they are not . required?
|
|
17
|
JUDGE CARTER: Yes.
|
|
18
|
MR. MARTItlEAU: So far as I know, I have never
|
|
19
|
heard any criticism of a statewide appellate court where
|
|
20
|
districting was not required, that all of the judges came
|
|
21
|
from the same area or anything like that.
