A reader asks: What's the Lawyers' Lobby?

A reader of the blog asks:"What is the 'lawyers lobby' and what do they want?"

Well, dear fan of Judicial Reform Coalition blog, good question. "Lawyers' Lobby" is not a commonly-used phrase, but the best definition is probably found here under "Makeup of the Judicial Selection Commission."

And what do they want? They want to have the greatest control over who can be a judge . . . it should come as no surprise that folks who view courts as super-legislatures are keen to the importance of picking who the judges are.
