How about a law to keep judges, honest?

Why?

Many times I have seen reviewing courts rule that the reason why the lower court reached its decision was based on bad application of the law and still affirm the lower court's ruling based upon their view of the law that leads to the same conclusion.

It would be clear in a guilty decision that the lower court found that all of the required elements of the crime were met and evidence supports a conviction. Aside from due process issues, this is going to be the mountain one must climb to overturn the lower court; one would not need a memo for that.
