Speaker Hufstedler, Seth M.
Date CreatedJanuary 23, 1981
Description

Hufstedler urges Californians to influence their government to make good judicial appointments that benefit the public. He explains the process of judicial appointment, emphasizing how special interest groups that want to support the appointment of certain judges for their own benefit can succeed. Hufstedler points out flaws in the judicial appointment process and laws that allow bad judges to keep their positions for an unlimited period. Finally, Hufstedler discusses the proposed changes to the Constitution regarding judicial appointment and asks the public to express its support for them.

An intermittent piercing feedback is heard on the source tape, during the introductions. This was not introduced during the digitization process.
