Courts - Iowa governor names three new justices to fill slots of three who failed retention election
Here is a story from the Feb. 23rd DesMoines Register. Here is a more detailed story from today.
Today the National Center for State Courts has put out a "backgrounder" headed "Gubernatorial appointments render Iowa one of only three states with all-male high court."
It includes a valuable totally current chart introduced as: "The following chart reflects the diversity of the nation's state courts of last resort. States are listed in order of the highest percentage of women on the bench to lowest as of Feb. 22, 2011."
Indiana is sadly one of the three at the bottom.
