Please Respond to Requests for Judicial Evaluations
Judges of the Superior, District, Probate and Family, Housing and Juvenile Courts in the counties of Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket will be evaluated starting in mid-May by attorneys, court employees and jurors. Should you receive a questionnaire, please take the time to complete it, as the more responses received, the more accurate the judicial evaluations will be. The Supreme Judicial Court's evaluation program is the best opportunity for attorneys to voice their opinions of the members of the judiciary. Attorneys who have appeared repeatedly in these courts in the last two years, according to computerized court records, will receive questionnaires. Attorneys will either receive a copy of the questionnaire in the mail, or if we have their email address, an email instructing them to log-in to our website to complete the evaluation on-line. As required by statute, the evaluations are confidential and anonymous. The results will be transmitted to the judge, the chief justice of his/her court department, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Chief Justice of Administration and Management. |
