The judicial evaluation, conducted annually since 1979, assesses the performance of district, circuit, family and federal judges serving Jefferson County and the Western District of Kentucky. This feedback is critical to the effective administration of justice and the continued independence of our judiciary. The judicial evaluation also provides an information source to the general public of the qualifications and integrity of judicial candidates.
