Smith" INTRODUCTION The program "Judicial Merit Selection in Rhode Island: Assessing the Fifteen Year Experience with Merit Selection" takes a serious look at the Rhode Island merit selection process for judges and asks a deceptively simple question: "Is it working?" By creating a forum for this important discussion, Roger Williams University School of Law is performing an important service for the bench and bar. Professor Yelnosky should be complimented for putting together an excellent program that includes solid academic research, as well as commentary from the bar and bench. In producing a program like this, the law school is fulfilling one of the core missions envisioned at its founding: providing a forum for, and acting as an honest broker of discussion and debate for the improvement of the bench and bar in Rhode Island.
