Professor Seth Davis was a lead drafter of a new American Academy of Arts and Sciences report urging 18-year term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices. The report states that this would reduce the polarization and partisanship life tenure creates, improve the judicial system’s reputation, and align the U.S. with 49 of its 50 states and most nations. It also lays out a constitutional approach that could be reached in a reasonable time frame.
