Founded in 1889, the Montana Supreme Court is the state's court of last resort
and has seven judgeships. The current chief of the court is Mike McGrath.

As of August 2021, four judges were elected in nonpartisan elections, two judges
were appointed by a Democratic governor, and one judge was appointed by a
Republican governor.

The Montana Supreme Court meets in the Joseph P. Mazurek Justice Building in
Helena, Montana.[1]

In Montana, state supreme court justices are elected in nonpartisan elections.
As of May 26, 2022, there are 13 states that use this selection method. To read
more about the nonpartisan election of judges, click here.


JURISDICTION

Since Montana does not have an intermediate appellate court, the state supreme
court hears appeals from all Montana District Courts, the Montana Water Court,
and the Montana Workers' Compensation Court. The Montana Supreme Court may not
reject an appeal from the lower courts.[2]

The court also has original jurisdiction, meaning it may hear a case for the
first time. It may use its original jurisdiction in cases of habeas corpus, in
exercising supervisory control of lower courts, and in cases dealing with only
legal or constitutional questions.[2]

The following text from Article VII, Section 2 of the Montana Constitution
covers the jurisdiction of the court:

“ Supreme Court Jurisdiction

(1) The supreme court has appellate jurisdiction and may issue, hear, and
determine writs appropriate thereto. It has original jurisdiction to issue,
hear, and determine writs of habeas corpus and such other writs as may be
provided by law.

(2) It has general supervisory control over all other courts.

(3) It may make rules governing appellate procedure, practice and procedure for
all other courts, admission to the bar and the conduct of its members. Rules of
procedure shall be subject to disapproval by the legislature in either of the
two sessions following promulgation.

(4) Supreme court process shall extend to all parts of the state.[3]

” —Montana Constitution Article VII, Section 2

new justice to the court. Once confirmed by the Montana state Senate, the
justice will hold office until the next regular election. At that time, the
appointed justice will be able to run for re-election or retention to complete
the remainder of the unexpired term.[5]

ANALYSIS


BALLOTPEDIA COURTS: DETERMINERS AND DISSENTERS (2021)

See also: Ballotpedia Courts: Determiners and Dissenters

In 2020, Ballotpedia published Ballotpedia Courts: Determiners and Dissenters, a
study on how state supreme court justices decided the cases that came before
them. Our goal was to determine which justices ruled together most often, which
frequently dissented, and which courts featured the most unanimous or
contentious decisions.

The study tracked the position taken by each state supreme court justice in
every case they decided in 2020, then tallied the number of times the justices
on the court ruled together. We identified the following types of justices:

 * We considered two justices opinion partners if they frequently concurred or
   dissented together throughout the year.
 * We considered justices a dissenting minority if they frequently opposed
   decisions together as a -1 minority.
 * We considered a group of justices a determining majority if they frequently
   determined cases by a +1 majority throughout the year.
 * We considered a justice a lone dissenter if he or she frequently dissented
   alone in cases throughout the year.

SUMMARY OF CASES DECIDED IN 2020

 * Number of justices: 7
 * Number of cases: 323
 * Percentage of cases with a unanimous ruling: 89.5% (289)
 * Justice most often writing the majority opinion: Justice Ingrid Gustafson
   (61)
 * Per curiam decisions: 0
 * Concurring opinions: 19
 * Justice with most concurring opinions: Justices James Rice and Ingrid
   Gustafson (5 and 5)
 * Dissenting opinions: 45
 * Justice with most dissenting opinions: Justice Laurie McKinnon (13)

BALLOTPEDIA COURTS: STATE PARTISANSHIP (2020)

See also: Ballotpedia Courts: State Partisanship

Last updated: June 15, 2020

In 2020, Ballotpedia published Ballotpedia Courts: State Partisanship, a study
examining the partisan affiliation of all state supreme court justices in the
country as of June 15, 2020.

The study presented Confidence Scores that represented our confidence in each
justice's degree of partisan affiliation, based on a variety of factors. This
was not a measure of where a justice fell on the political or ideological
spectrum, but rather a measure of how much confidence we had that a justice was
or had been affiliated with a political party. To arrive at confidence scores we
analyzed each justice's past partisan activity by collecting data on campaign
finance, past political positions, party registration history, as well as other
factors. The five categories of Confidence Scores were:

 * Strong Democrat
 * Mild Democrat
 * Indeterminate[11]
 * Mild Republican
 * Strong Republican

We used the Confidence Scores of each justice to develop a Court Balance Score,
which attempted to show the balance among justices with Democratic, Republican,
and Indeterminate Confidence Scores on a court. Courts with higher positive
Court Balance Scores included justices with higher Republican Confidence Scores,
while courts with lower negative Court Balance Scores included justices with
higher Democratic Confidence Scores. Courts closest to zero either had justices
with conflicting partisanship or justices with Indeterminate Confidence
Scores.[12]

Montana had a Court Balance Score of -0.71, indicating Split control of the
court. In total, the study found that there were 15 states with
Democrat-controlled courts, 27 states with Republican-controlled courts, and
eight states with Split courts. The map below shows the court balance score of
each state.







BONICA AND WOODRUFF CAMPAIGN FINANCE SCORES (2012)

See also: Bonica and Woodruff campaign finance scores of state supreme court
justices, 2012

In October 2012, political science professors Adam Bonica and Michael Woodruff
of Stanford University attempted to determine the partisan outlook of state
supreme court justices in their paper, "State Supreme Court Ideology and 'New
Style' Judicial Campaigns." A score above 0 indicated a more
conservative-leaning ideology while scores below 0 were more liberal. The state
Supreme Court of Montana was given a campaign finance score (CFscore), which was
calculated for judges in October 2012. At that time, Montana received a score of
-0.87. Based on the justices selected, Montana was the 6th most liberal court.
The study was based on data from campaign contributions by judges themselves,
the partisan leaning of contributors to the judges, or—in the absence of
elections—the ideology of the appointing body (governor or legislature). This
study was not a definitive label of a justice but rather an academic gauge of
various factors.[13]


NOTEWORTHY CASES

The following are noteworthy cases heard before the Montana Supreme Court. For a
full list of opinions published by the court, click here. Know of a case we
should cover here? Let us know by emailing us.

  • Constitutionality of a tax credit program (2018)[show]Click for summary→

In a 5-2 decision, the Montana Supreme Court reversed a decision from the
Montana 11th Judicial District Court. The 11th Judicial District Court had held
that a rule from the Montana Department of Revenue was "based on an incorrect
interpretation of the law" and prohibited its enforcement. The rule had been
implemented to ensure a tax credit program was compliant with the Montana
Constitution. The state supreme court concluded the rule was superfluous because
the tax credit program itself was unconstitutional.

The case was brought by plaintiffs whose children attended
religiously-affiliated private schools. The plaintiffs challenged the Department
of Revenue, which had instituted a rule barring religiously-affiliated private
schools from qualifying as an education provider under a tax credit program that
provided dollar-to-dollar tax credits of up to $150 to taxpayers donating to
organizations providing scholarships for students who attend private schools.
Following the state supreme court's ruling, the plaintiffs appealed to the U.S.
Supreme Court. SCOTUS accepted the case on June 28, 2019. Click here for more
information.

  • Court orders AG to rewrite statement for bathroom bill initiative
(2017)[show]Click for summary→

On September 19, 2017, the Montana Supreme Court ruled that Attorney General Tim
Fox (R) needed to rewrite his ballot statement for a bathroom bill initiative.
The initiative would have required individuals to use the private facilities,
including changing facilities, locker rooms, restrooms, and shower rooms, in
public schools and government buildings designated for an individual's
biological sex, as determined by anatomy and genetics, at the time of birth.

The ACLU of Montana filed a lawsuit against the state of Montana, represented by
Attorney General Fox, contending that the ballot statement was misleading and
prejudicial and the fiscal note was insufficient. The ACLU of Montana argued
that Fox’s ballot statement obscured “the primary and most controversial
function of the initiative: the exclusion of transgender people from
gender-appropriate facilities” and created prejudice in favor of the initiative.
The group asked the court to prohibit the initiative from appearing on the
ballot or order the attorney general to rewrite the ballot statement and fiscal
note. [7]

Attorney General Fox argued that his ballot statement was legally sufficient and
fairly stated what the initiative proposed. He said the changes requested by the
ACLU of Montana would create prejudice against the initiative. He said the terms
that plaintiffs wanted to see in the ballot statement were "not mentioned in
I-183 or even defined in state law.”[14]

The Montana Supreme Court ruled in favor of the ACLU of Montana, requiring
Attorney General Fox to rewrite the ballot statement. The court said it
intervened because the ballot statement would “prevent a voter from casting an
intelligent and informed ballot.” The justices also ruled that the fiscal note
needed to include information on long-term costs; costs to local governments,
K-12 schools, and public universities; legal fees; and uncertain costs.[15] Read
more about the court case, the supreme court’s ruling, and the attorney
general’s ballot title here.

  • Right to sue for lack of government openness (2014)[show]Click for summary→

In a 6-0 decision, the Montana Supreme Court reversed its own 2006 ruling that
required a plaintiff to prove personal injury in order to sue a government
agency for lack of transparency and openness. The 2014 case was brought by Brian
Shoof against the county commissioners of Custer County. In a closed,
unannounced meeting in 2007, the commission decided that county officials could
receive money instead of health insurance premiums. When Shoof learned of this
policy in 2011, he filed a challenge to reverse the policy and get the cash
payments returned. His case was dismissed by a district court, but the supreme
court ruled on his behalf, finding that citizens have the ability to bring a
lawsuit against a government agency for not complying with the state's
right-to-know laws without having to prove their personal stake or
injury.[16][17]

  • Doctor-assisted suicide (2009)[show]Click for summary→

In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court made a decision in Baxter vs. Montana that
would protect doctors from prosecution for assisting in the death of a
terminally ill patient. Robert Baxter, the plaintiff, suffered from lymphocytic
leukemia and had died the previous year. It was a 4-3 ruling, and four separate
opinions were filed between the seven justices. The majority used a 1985 law to
back their opinion, which dealt with the withdrawal of treatment for the
terminally ill. Those in dissent said "[t]he statute provides no support for
physicians shifting from idle onlookers of natural death to active participants
in their patients’ suicides." Despite ruling in favor of Baxter, the decision
did not address whether physician-assisted suicide was a constitutional right,
leaving that debate for the Montana Legislature.[18]

The Montana Code of Judicial Conduct was revised in 2014. It is composed of four
canons:[19]

“

1. A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and
impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of
impropriety.


2. A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially, competently,
and diligently.


3. A judge shall conduct the judge's personal and extrajudicial activities to
minimize the risk of conflict with the obligations of judicial office.


4. A judge or candidate for judicial office shall not engage in political or
campaign activity that is inconsistent with the independence, integrity, or
impartiality of the judiciary.[3]

”

Read the code in its entirety here.


REMOVAL OF JUSTICES

The Montana State Legislature has the power to remove a supreme court justice
with a two-thirds vote of the Montana House of Representatives to impeach and a
two-thirds vote of a tribunal to convict.[20]


MONTANA JUDICIAL STANDARDS COMMISSION

An ethics complaint about a supreme court justice may be filed with the Montana
Judicial Standards Commission. After investigation, the commission may impose an
admonishment or private reprimand, or it may recommend to the Montana Supreme
Court a public reprimand, censure, suspension, removal, or permanent
removal.[21]

The Montana Judicial Standards Commission comprises five members who serve
four-year terms. District court judges elect two members to the commission who
are judges from different judicial districts. The Montana Supreme Court appoints
one member who is an attorney who has practiced law in Montana for at least 10
years. The governor appoints two state residents from different congressional
districts who are not, and never have been, judges or attorneys.[22]


HISTORY OF THE COURT

 * 1864: Montana became a territory, and the Territorial Supreme Court was
   created with one chief justice and two associate justices.
 * 1889: Montana joined the union and became a state on November 8. The Montana
   Supreme Court was created in Article VIII of the 1889 Constitution. Three
   members were to be elected to six-year terms in partisan elections.
 * 1909: The state legislature created the "Nonpartisan Judiciary Act." Rather
   than running in partisan elections, this act required that candidates to the
   court be "nominated by citizen petition." This resulted in a very low voter
   turnout in the next general election in 1910.
 * 1911: The "Nonpartisan Judiciary Act" was declared unconstitutional by
   Montana Supreme Court.
 * 1919: The number of justices on the court was increased from three to five.
 * 1935: Nonpartisan judicial elections were reintroduced.
 * 1972: Term of office was increased to eight years with a constitutional
   amendment.
 * 1979: The number of justices on the court was increased to seven.[23]


NOTABLE FIRSTS

 * 1989: Diane Barz became the first female justice on the Montana Supreme
   Court. Prior to that, she was the first woman to serve as a district judge in
   the state.[23]


COURTS IN MONTANA

In addition to the federal courts in Montana, there is one court of last resort
and six types of trial courts. Their infrastructure and relationship are
illustrated in the flow chart below.


The structure of Montana's state court system.


PARTY CONTROL OF MONTANA STATE GOVERNMENT

A state government trifecta is a term that describes single-party government,
when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both
chambers of the legislature in a state government. A state supreme court plays a
role in the checks and balances system of a state government.

Montana has a Republican trifecta. The Republican Party controls the office of
governor and both chambers of the state legislature.

 11. ↑ An Indeterminate score indicates that there is either not enough
     information about the justice’s partisan affiliations or that our research
     found conflicting partisan affiliations.
 12. ↑ The Court Balance Score is calculated by finding the average partisan
     Confidence Score of all justices on a state supreme court. For example, if
     a state has justices on the state supreme court with Confidence Scores of
     4, -2, 2, 14, -2, 3, and 4, the Court Balance is the average of those
     scores: 3.3. Therefore, the Confidence Score on the court is Mild
     Republican. The use of positive and negative numbers in presenting both
     Confidence Scores and Court Balance Scores should not be understood to that
     either a Republican or Democratic score is positive or negative. The
     numerical values represent their distance from zero, not whether one score
     is better or worse than another.
