It means that when a judge has discretion to appoint someone to a paid role (e.g., mediator, Guardian Ad Litem, etc.) in a case, the judge will select an individual that contributes, usually substantially, to the judge's election campaign. | There is evidence showing that Cobb County Superior Court is a "Pay-to-Play" judicial system.
