The method of judicial selection (a model not used by Texas) in which a nominating committee appointed by the governor nominates candidates for a judicial vacancy, the governor then appoints one for a term of office and during the next general election he/she runs unopposed on a nonpartisan ballot is called "the missouri plan".
What is the missouri plan?
The Missouri Plan is a system for choosing judges that was first used in the state of Missouri and then copied by other American jurisdictions.
Some features of missouri plan are-
- It entails the establishment of a nominating panel that interviews prospective judges and submits a select group of names to the person in charge of making the appointment (usually the governor).
- Any candidate picked by the appointing authority from the list will serve as a judge for a trial term.
- After this time, the judge runs for a much longer term in a popular election without facing off against other candidates and instead bases his campaign on prior rulings.
- Voters decide whether or not to keep the judge in office under the Missouri Plan.
- The Missouri Plan serves as the cornerstone for merit-based judicial appointment in the United States. The Non-Partisan Court Plan is another name for it.
