How do you know how good judges are at judging?

In that case, I'll choose to hydroplane. There has to be a better way of determining if a judge is worthy of retaining his/her job than relying on Joe q public to make an informed decision. We don't get to elect them originally but it's up to us to decide if they can keep their job? These aren't SC justices or federal level but municipal and district court level.  Doesn't seem like the best way.

The problem with the judge elections is they require... research. People don't like to do that.

I don't want politicians to decide either, though.

I suppose the one thing the ballot can do with a judge is if that judge does something clearly awful, like give a guy who rapes an unconscious woman a 30 day jail sentence, the public will find out about it and then he/she can lose their job.
