Jessica Kerr : Who judges the judges?

Jessica Kerr·TEDxUWA
Who judges the judges?
Summary 

This was a really difficult issue among not only judges but also among all businessmen. Each industry has a different way of advancement, just, it’s traditional.  

The speaker is a lawyer. She was asked to hand down 12-year prison sentences in court in her first month on the job. It’s the right thing, isn’t it?

In fact, judges are just chosen in a confidential and traditional process that heavily relies on advice from senior judges. The legal elite has an obvious interest in maintaining the status quo, no one has responsibilities, though, they can get salaries. 

The speaker suggests being able to say no against the situation, young lawyers and the diverse ones will be supported, and for public confidence, creating a trust that can be explained and justified. The speaker hopes to blow a new wind to choose the judges.
