Marcia Oddi's Indiana Law Blog has this interesting post on the uproar in two states over contacts between state appeals court judges and legislators.
In Minnesota, "[f]or what may be the first time in its 40-year history, the state Board on Judicial Standards has opened investigative files on all seven Minnesota Supreme Court justices, the result of a complaint that alleges that one or more of them may have had improper conversations with a legislator regarding Minnesota's marriage laws."
In Kansas, a Senate panel pondered the question of "whether a Supreme Court justice's discussion with two senators about school funding has tainted other members of the court."
