A Missouri plan for Alabama?

For those confused by who to vote for in judicial races and those tired of the seemingly endless TV commercials selling this judge over that one, the editorial page in tomorrow's Star may be of use.

An editorial in the Wednesday paper reports on a different way to put judges on statewide courts.
