SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
The Utah Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission (JPEC) is launching
a new website today at judges.utah.gov to better inform Utah voters on
the merits of judges throughout the state.
One key feature of judges.utah.gov is
the “at a glance” summary about each Utah judge so voters can assess
facts quickly.
“We’ve designed each element of this website to provide information on
Utah judges in the most user-friendly fashion,” said Jennifer Yim, JPEC
executive director. “We’ve found voters want relevant information
without requiring massive downloads.”
The site utilizes responsive design making the site accessible from any
device and provides instant search options.
“Our purpose is to get more information to voters so they can even do a
quick glance of judges while in the voting booth, if necessary,” said
Yim. “Often, voters are unaware of judges unless they’ve heard something
in the news. We want them to have full access to make an informed voting
decision.”
JPEC’s evaluations, which are summarized at judges.utah.gov,
provide summaries on legal ability, judicial temperament, procedural
fairness and administrative performance. The site also allows public
comment on any judge serving in Utah.
Moreover, voters can review a brief biography on each judge and if the
commission has recommended to retain that judge for another term.
“It’s never been easier for Utah voters to access current information on
any judge serving throughout the state,” Yim added.
The site also includes an extensive FAQ section, information to
volunteer to become a courtroom observer and articles about judicial
evaluations.
