Abstract
In this short Article, I will propose a rule for judicial candidates that balances several competing interests. The rule seeks to honor their First Amendment rights and the voters’ need for information while avoiding a level of specificity that may signal how a judicial candidate would decide a particular case. Along the way, I consider rules that would permit less judicial speech and eventually reject these in favor of a more permissive rule.
