Answer:

The Missouri Plan is a method for choosing judges. It was founded in 1940 (Missouri,) and many states have adopted it. Other countries have even used similar methods. Under the Plan, an un- baised court, composed of citizens and lawyers, looks over different candidates to fill a judicial vacancy. By having a group of people choose who will fill the spot, and using their conclusion to decide who will fill the position,you have a combination of appointment, and election.

I hope this is what you were looking for!
