WHO JUDGES THE JUDGES? YOU DO! WE CAN HELP.Voters! Finish the Ballot! Use the following summary and report by the Commission on Judicial Performance Review (JPR) to Finish the Ballot!The JPR Commission was established by voters to evaluate judges’ performance during retention elections. Whilejudges initially are appointed, this report can help you decide whether these judges meet judicial performancestandards and should be retained. Which judges appear on your ballot depends on your county and the court on whichthe judge serves. By using this report to finish your ballot, you will help ensure Arizona’s strong and impartial judiciary!

Some Arizona judges are appointed through Merit Selection and rated by the JPR Commission.Merit Selection and RetentionIn 1974, Arizona voters decided that for Arizona’s Supreme Court, Courts of Appeal, and Superior Courts in countieswith populations over 250,000 (currently Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal) judges would be appointed by the Governor froma list of qualified candidates. The Arizona Constitution directs commissions to nominate candidates based primarily ontheir merit, with consideration given to the diversity of Arizona’s population. Arizona voters then periodically votewhether to retain these judges as their terms expire. This system is known as Merit Selection and Retention.

JPR Commission Evaluations & Report Created by a constitutional amendment, the 30-member JPR Commission conducts standards-basedperformance evaluations of judges. Most of the JPR Commissioners are public members, not lawyers or judges. JPRreports its results to the public. This report provides JPR Commission findings, survey results, and states whether eachjudge in a retention election “meets” or “fails to meet” judicial performance standards.

Judicial Performance StandardsThe JPR Commission evaluates each judge up for retention election to assess the judge’s:

Legal Ability: Decides cases based on applicable law, demonstrating competent legal analysis. Integrity: Free from personal bias. Administers justice fairly, ethically, and uniformly. Communication Skills: Issues prompt and understandable rulings and directions. Judicial Temperament: Dignified, courteous, and patient. Administrative Performance: Manages courtroom and office effectively. Issues rulings promptly and efficiently.

Public Input Throughout the ProcessThis year, as every election year, the JPR Commission sought public input from citizens who have had directexperience with judges and made its decisions using that input. In 2013, 60,000 surveys on judges were distributed toattorneys, jurors, litigants and witnesses. The JPR Commission held public hearings open to anyone wishing to speakabout the judges up for retention this year. The JPR Commission accepts signed, written comments about merit-appointed judges at any time.

Use JPR Results and ChecklistEvery Voter can take an active role in this judicial review process. Use this JPR summary and report to guide yourvotes for judges up for retention. After reviewing a judge’s information, mark “Yes” or “No” next to the judge’s name onthe Judges Checklist tear-off sheet in this pamphlet. Refer to your checklist to Finish Your Ballot!
