Is it constitutional to prevent candidates in judicial elections from personally soliciting campaign contributions? The Supreme Court may tell us when it rules in Williams-Yulee v. Florida Bar. It is scheduled for argument Jan. 20, 2015.
"The case brings three important questions to the fore, Ware said. The narrow question is whether prohibiting a judicial candidate from personally soliciting campaign funds is constitutional. This question is intertwined with broader questions about how to fund judicial election campaigns and, at the broadest level, whether to have judicial elections at all."
