J U D I C I A L S E L E C T I O N T A S K F O R C E The Task Force believes that the following improvements must be made to both systems to promote a more diverse pool of candidates and, thus, a more diverse bench: • Provide public financing to all candidates for judicial elections to ensure that none of the minority candidates, nor any candidates in general, are barred because of financial considerations; 62 • Establish independent and diverse screening commissions; the nominating authorities of the screening commissions should— when viewed as a whole—be diverse; the requirement for diverse nominating authorities and diverse screening commissions should be codified; these nominating authorities and screening commissions must be independent of any controlling influence of the appointing authority or the political leader; • Educate the general public on the need for a diverse judiciary and the importance of the recommendations of the independent and diverse screening commissions; • For the convention system in particular, reduce the number of delegates to the judicial district convention in order for minority candidates, and all candidates in general, to be able to succeed with fewer votes; and • For the appointive system, encourage the appointing authority to commit to the importance of diversity. The Task Force urges the Legislature to seize the opportunity presented and reform the current judicial selection system. December 2006 62. The Task Force did not examine the issue of public financing of judicial candidates. The Committee on Government Ethics of the <strong>Association</strong> examined the issue and released a report in May 2001.
