The process begins this week to fill three seats on the Iowa Supreme Court. The state's judicial nominating commission is interviewing 60 applicants for the positions. Then the commission forwards 9 finalist names to Gov. Terry Branstad. The governor says he'll quiz the finalists about their legal experience and philosophy but won't ask about specific cases. Branstad says he just wants the judges to be fair-minded and credible. The Iowa Supreme Court hasn't had three seats open at once since 1962.
