Judicial performance evaluation

Judicial performance evaluation is a process that assesses how effectively judges fulfill their roles, including their legal knowledge, fairness, written decisions, and community engagement. It uses various methods such as surveys from attorneys, litigants, and peers, as well as analysis of their rulings and courtroom conduct. The goal is to ensure transparency, accountability, and ongoing improvement within the judiciary, helping courts maintain public trust and confidence. These evaluations provide valuable feedback to judges and inform decisions about retention or promotion, ultimately supporting a fair and efficient justice system.
