Abstract
Judicial selection through the process of popular election, while not a perfect instrument, provides a higher degree of accountability and achieves the same level of "independence" from political forces as the merit plan. Moreover, the popular election process is more consistent with the overlying theme of a participatory democracy dictated by the founding fathers and implemented by following generations.
