The Arizona Commission on Judicial Performance Review recently disclosed the ratings for judges up for retention, shedding light for voters on their performance. As per the commission's announcement, the assessments will guide citizens casting their votes for the merit-selected judges listed on the 2024 general election ballot, providing an objective view of each judicial representative’s work.

In a vital effort to enhance transparency, this comprehensive evaluation is rooted in a plethora of survey responses from a diverse group of court interactors – including jurors, witnesses, self-representing litigants, attorneys, and court personnel – offering insight into the judges' legal aptitudes, integrity, communication skills, temperament, and administrative prowess. These judges, appearing on the ballot without partisan labels, include members from several courts, notably the Arizona Supreme Court's Hon. Clint Bolick and Hon. Kathryn Hackett King, as well as judges from the Court of Appeals, and Superior Courts across Coconino, Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties.

For interested voters seeking detailed information on the judges’ performance, resources are available both in the Publicity Pamphlet delivered by the Secretary of State and online at azjudges.info. The pamphlet not only features the commission's recommendations but also delves into the survey data that led to their verdicts on whether a judge "Meets" or "Does Not Meet" the standards of judicial performance.
