The LCBA evaluates judicial candidates in two different ways. The first way is a member
survey, in which every active attorney member of the LCBA receives a ballot. Regarding
the candidates’ qualifications for judicial office, members are asked to respond yes or no to
questions relating to the candidates’ integrity, impartiality, legal abilities, temperament, and
court management ability. Members are asked to evaluate only those candidates they know, and
a final question asks generally whether the member believes the candidate meets the
requirements for judicial office. The complete results of the member survey regarding the
Associate Judge applicants are enclosed with this press release (the LCBA only releases results
for those candidates rated by at least 25% of the members responding).

The second way the LCBA evaluates candidates is through the Association’s Judicial
Selection and Retention Committee. The Committee is comprised of 15 members of the
Association who are appointed for staggered three-year terms. The Committee meets when
judicial positions need to be filled and vets candidates based on an extensive application and
interview process.
After interviewing each candidate, the Committee votes anonymously, with each member
choosing one of three rankings: highly recommended, recommended, or not recommended.
Candidates receive a “highly recommended” rating if at least 60% of the Committee’s voting
members select that rating. Candidates are “recommended” if at least 60% of the Committee’s
members select either “recommended” or “highly recommended.” Those candidates not
receiving a 60% affirmative vote are rated as “not recommended.” Evaluations are valid for three
years.
