Every two years, the HBA conducts a Judicial Evaluation Questionnaire, in which members are asked to evaluate elected and appointed judges on a number of professional and ethical questions, based on personal, firsthand knowledge. Judges who had not actively served at least six months on their current bench as of the date this questionnaire was prepared do not appear on the Judicial Evaluation. The HBA presents the results of its 2021 Judicial Evaluation Questionnaire below. You may view the entire Evaluation or you may view selected courts by clicking on the appropriate links below. The Evaluation results for each judge appear on a separate page. 

The Evaluation opened on Nov. 1 and closed on Nov. 19. There were 1,232 responses to the online Judicial Evaluation, representing 14.4% of eligible HBA members.
