Abstract:

As the 1990 elections near, the race that could have the most direct impact on citizens is the open NC Supreme Court Seat. Of the 6 nominated candidates, all are well-respected, but questions arise about Samuel Currin. Currin, a former aide to US Senator Jesse Helms, is criticized by attorneys and legal observers for his seeming lack of knowledge of the law and questionable ethics. Currin had a previous federal judgeship blocked through a bi-partisan effort.
