CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A retired U.S. Supreme Court justice is lending her expertise to the latest meeting of West Virginia's Independent Commission on Judicial Reform.

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is expected to attend Monday's session of the study group, as it reviews the different ways that states select their judicial officers.

A Missouri state supreme court justice is among the guest speakers at the meeting, hosted at West Virginia University's law school.

Gov. Joe Manchin appointed the committee to review a number of potential changes to the state's court system. West Virginia currently holds partisan elections for its judges and justices.

O'Connor has agreed to serve as the commission's honorary chair. A final report from the study is due Nov. 15.
