The Center for Judicial Accountability (CJA) is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit citizens' organization dedicated to documenting instances where judges break the law and go unpunished, with the aim of improving the quality of the judiciary by removing political considerations from the judicial selection process and ensuring effective and meaningful disciplinary measures for judges. CJA educates the public about the crucial role of the judiciary in safeguarding our constitutional form of government, while also tracking media coverage of judicial selection and discipline issues. They work with judicial activists and legal reform groups across the country to promote citizen involvement, concerted action, and protection for judicial whistleblowers. CJA also testifies before public and private bodies involved in judicial matters and initiates legal action in the public interest to advance the goal of a quality judiciary free from political influence.Generated from the website
