Judge the Judges Forum Part 1 and 2
The Judge Accountability Table sent questionnaires to all judge candidates running for Municipal and Common Please Courts. You can read the candidate questionnaire responses on JAT’s website here. For too long, Judicial races have been low information elections, with few voters understanding what different courts did and who the judge candidates were. Judges play a critical role in the criminal legal system. From the JAT website - “By design, criminal justice system deliberately targets our poor and working class communities that are black, brown, immigrant and other marginalized identities. This platform seeks to address the “tough on crime” mentality our elected officials have embraced for generations — judges have much discretionary power in our courts and and are the ultimate decision-makers when it comes to a person’s fate in our criminal justice system.”
