Judicial Performance Review Conference Teams
The State Bar Appointments Committee is
currently accepting applications from active members for Judicial Performance Review
Conference Teams. Application forms are due at the State Bar office by 5 p.m., Friday, February 6, 1998. Please contact Carrie Sherman at the Arizona Bar Center
(602-340-7201) or Suzanne Pease at the
Bar’s Tucson office (520-623-9944).
Conference teams consist of one judge, one attorney and one public member. Each team
consults with three to four judges subject to the retention election process. Team members
analyze data compiled from surveys distributed to people appearing before judges during a
four-month survey period (October 1997 through January 1998), review self-performance
analyses prepared by judges, identify aspects of judges’ performance that may need
improvement and assist with developing written plans for professional improvement.
Conference team members will be required to attend a three-hour training session in
April 1998. Teams will meet with assigned judges during May and June 1998. The approximate
total time commitment, including the training session, is 10 to 12 hours.
