Episode 128: How Campaign Funding Affects Judicial Decision Making
As state judicial elections become more and more expensive, it's worth asking whether campaign funding impacts judicial decision making. On this episode, Jeanne Hruska speaks with Michael Kang and Joanna Shepherd about their new book, "Free to Judge: The Power of Campaign Money in Judicial Elections." According to Kang and Shepherd, “campaign money profoundly affects how judges do their jobs.”
