Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York has experienced a loud and tumultuous decade with respect to the selection of its state and local judges, including a First Amendment challenge to the partisan nomination of candidates for the state Supreme Court and several studies indicating that the voting public knows very little about judicial candidates on the ballot. These events underscore the need for decision-makers, the public and the judiciary itself to have complete, reliable, and relevant information about judges and judicial candidates. In this essay, we consider what lessons judicial performance evaluation (JPE) programs offer for judicial screening and judicial selection in New York, and explain how both citizens and judges would benefit from an official, comprehensive JPE program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tensions between independence and accountability, two hallmarks of the American judicial branch, create a responsibility, perhaps even an obligation, for officers of the court to perform efficiently, effectively, and to undergo periodic performance review. Creating performance evaluation programs holding courts accountable from both individual and organizational perspectives is challenging. It is difficult to evaluate judges and preserve the critical independence needed to decide cases freely, based only on the law. An innovative program called judicial performance evaluation (JPE) may change that. Despite its promise, the program has only been adopted by twenty states. Why those states? What forces compel actors to pursue JPE programs? The characteristics leading to policy diffusion in the American states are evaluated by considering how and when JPE programs have been adopted by state institutional bodies. The effects of legislative professionalization and method of judicial selection have the greatest impact on increasing the likelihood of the policy adoption. However, despite anecdotal evidence and findings from extant studies in other policy areas, political ideology, and geographic proximity are variables not significantly related to JPE diffusion. This study blends extant literature from social science including work from scholars of public administration, public policy, judicial administration, and court reform. The initial contribution of this dissertation is to help researchers understand why JPE may appeal to some states and not others. However, its primary purpose is to shed light on the intersection of these fields and to study policy diffusion using event history analysis. This study re-opens the door for court administration and reform literature to join mainstream public administration studies.

Book excerpt: Since 1990, Colorado has maintained a state-operated judicial performance evaluation (JPE) program for appellate and trial court judges. The program is generally designed to serve four purposes: (1) providing voters in retention elections with information about the judges seeking retention; (2) educating the public about qualities and levels of performance expected of judges; (3) recognizing and highlighting the individual and collective strengths of judges; and (4) providing information to sitting judges to help them improve their performance on the bench. While there is widespread agreement that JPE advances these goals, that agreement is based primarily on anecdotal information and informal observation. By contrast, there has been very little empirical analysis of whether (and to what extent) JPE is informing and educating the public, or usefully demonstrating professional strengths and weaknesses to judges.This survey is the first part of a multi-stage study concerning the effectiveness of JPE in Colorado. It was designed to elicit feedback from sitting Colorado judges regarding the extent to which JPE provides them with useful feedback that can be used for professional self-improvement, and to determine whether the existence of JPE has had any effect on judicial independence and accountability.
