Chief Judge Candidate Evaluation - Due January 3, 2025

The District of Columbia Judicial Nomination Commission (Commission or JNC) is responsible for designating the Chief Judge for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. In addition to judicial duties of a Court of Appeals judge, the Chief Judge is also responsible for the administration of the business of the Court.

The Commission invites comments from the District of Columbia bench, bar, and members of the public on each of the candidates for Chief Judge (listed in Question 1). If you wish to provide comments for more than one candidate, please complete a separate survey for each. You may also provide comments by letter, or you may use the PDF version of this survey on JNC's website: www.jnc.dc.gov/evaluate_candidates

All comments, surveys, and letters received become part of the confidential file for this Chief Judge designation process. The Commission may discuss topics raised in the comments with the candidates, but will do so either by aggregating the comments or otherwise ensuring that the source of the comments, and the identity of the commenter, are not revealed.

Your comments will assist the Commission as it evaluates each candidate for the position of Chief Judge. The Commission encourages you to elaborate on the reason(s) for your ratings, including by providing examples that explain your rating.

All comments must be RECEIVED by the JNC by no later than January 3, 2025.
