Moving Forward..
While I’ve been focused here on judges that need help, there are so many doing a great job. Maybe a better question is how do we have more of them? Kaizer offers the following:
“We both believe the judiciary, for the most part, are hardworking and dedicated public servants looking to faithfully administer justice and doing a difficult job for far less than they could make in the private sector. But there are also many exceptions, where judges are either not sufficiently informed, or exhibit bias that unfairly skews the system against certain groups. Our goal is to recognize excellence but also to call out the bad actors. Hence our motto: “Where judges are judged.For the most part justice is evenhanded. But it is naïve to think the rich, powerful and connected don’t often have the upper hand and that criminal defendants are often not afforded the rights to which they are entitled.”
When I worked for a national retail chain in college we were constantly aware that we could have secret shoppers report on our service. Nowadays with Tripadvisor and similar sites, everything from restaurants and hotels to washer repair service and tailors get reviews. Uber drivers get reviews and passengers too, and it has an effect. You don’t accept a driver with low ratings and don’t book that restaurant with crappy food and service reviews. This makes those businesses and workers improve, an immediate affect. (We are ignoring malicious posters here folks.)
