Lawyers Still Needed to Educate Public, Defeat Amendment 3 on November 6

Although some backers of Amendment 3 announced earlier this week that they will decrease their campaign efforts to pass the constitutional amendment on the November 6 ballot, they vowed to continue attacking the non-partisan court process used in Missouri for more than 70 years and replace it with a more political model.

While the extent of support for Amendment 3 may or may not be lessening, as they announced, Missouri lawyers are encouraged to continue efforts to defeat the ballot measure and provide a clear signal that the citizens of Missouri value a process designed to keep our courts and the decisions of our judges fair and impartial, rather than political.
