The Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission (JPEC) was established by the legislature in 2008 to help you get to know your judges. Its goals are:
- To collect and disseminate valid information about each judge’s performance so that voters may make informed decisions about whether or not to retain that judge in office;
- To provide judges with useful feedback about their performance so that they may become better judges and to thereby improve the quality of the judiciary as a whole; and
- To promote public accountability of the judiciary while ensuring that the judiciary continues to operate as an independent branch of government.
Performance Evaluations
To accomplish these goals, the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission conducts multi-faceted evaluations of judges. As judges stand for retention elections, the Commission publishes the evaluation report and makes a recommendation whether the judge should be retained in office. The voters ultimately decide whether or not each judge will continue to serve in office.
