Welcome to the Arizona Commission on Judicial Performance Review Website. Now you can also follow us on Facebook!
The Commission sets performance standards for judges, decides whether or not a judge meets those standards, and reports its findings to you, the voters.
The Commission collects information on how judges perform by distributing written surveys and holding public hearings for people who have first-hand knowledge of the job performance of judges appearing on the 2010 general election ballot. More than 59,000 surveys on Arizona judges were distributed in 2009. The Commission also accepts written comments at any time about the performance of judges. Contact Us
The survey responses are compiled by an independent data center and the results are given to the Commission. Its members review all the information on each judge and vote whether the judge MEETS or DOES NOT MEET judicial performance standards. When the Commission votes, the judges' names are encoded so that members do not know which judge they are voting on until all the votes are counted.
Established in 1992 by a constitutional amendment passed by voters, the Commission's membership includes 18 members of the public, six attorneys and six judges.
It's easy to be an informed voter. Read the JPR report before you vote on the judges on your ballot -- and then Finish the Ballot!
