LIFESPAN NEWS/July 2008 23 JUDICIAL CANDIDATE SURVEY Lifespan sent the following three-question survey to each candidate for judicial office in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Coun- ties, including Appeals Court, Circuit Court, District Court, Probate Court and County Prosecutor. Candidates were also asked to state, in 50 words or less, their judicial philosophy as it relates to matters of statutory interpretation. Statements provided by judicial candidates are on file at Lifespan’s Main Office. Please call for further information.

The following questions are intended to delve into your judicial philosophy. These questions are not directed at any particular case that you may have previously ruled upon, are about to rule upon or may rule upon in the future.

1. Which of the following groups of United States Supreme Court Justices possess a judicial philosophy that is closest to your own? Please circle your selection. A B C D A. Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas B. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy and retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor C. Justice David Souter and Justice John Paul Stevens D. Justice Ruth Bader Binsberg and Justice Stephen Breyer

2. Which book most closely captures your judicial philosophy? Please circle your selection. A B C D A. A Matter of Interpretation, by Antonin Scalia B. Rights from Wrongs, by Alan Dershowitz C. Active Liberty, by Stephen Breyer D. Feminist Legal Theory: Readings in Law and Gender, edited by Katharine T. Bartlett and Roseanne Kennedy

3. Which statement most closely captures your judicial philosophy as it relates to matters of Constitutional interpretation? Please circle your selection. A B C D A. Our State and Federal Constitutions should be interpreted by ascertaining the original meaning of the words that make up these documents.

B. Our State and Federal Constitutions should be interpreted by ascertaining the current meaning of the words that make up these documents.

C. Our State and Federal Constitutions provide general outlines of societal goals. The interpretation of our Constitutions can change over time to reflect the changing views of society. Constitutional interpretation should not be so stringent as to preclude the flexibility needed in a changing society.

D. A judge ought not commit to methods of constitutional interpretation before a case is heard. A judge should consider the arguments of the litigants and select a method of constitutional interpretation that produces a fair and equitable result in each case before the court.

4. In 50 words or less, on the reverse side of this questionnaire, please describe your judicial philosophy as it relates to matters of statutory interpretation.

NOTE: Lifespan is not a political organization and does not endorse candidates for election. We have surveyed the candidates as a service to our members.
