Judges need constructive feedback

Gary Johnson as the candidate for president.
One thing that is lacking in our justice system is an institutional means to provide constructive feedback to our judicial officers. And that is unfortunate, because during my entire 25 years on the bench, I never received any. Oh yes, sometimes litigants and their counsel would fawn over me at social gatherings and tell me how wonderful I was, but that is almost always stilted and seldom genuine. No, what we need is a program for honest and candid feedback.
