Welcome to the 2016 Judicial Retention Elections Peer Review Website
This website is a public service to assist voters in casting their ballots in the November 2016 Judicial Retention Elections for justices of the Kansas Supreme Court and judges of the Kansas Court of Appeals.
These evaluations are based on surveys completed by attorneys who have practiced before the appellate justices and judges, law professors, and other legal experts who review those courts’ decisions professionally.
The surveys were developed by the Kansas Judicial Evaluation Committee, a coalition of practicing Kansas attorneys, Kansas law professors, Kansas court professionals, representatives from civic groups and citizens dedicated to preserving the impartiality of Kansas courts and the promotion of an informed citizenry.
Because a representative democracy works best when voters make informed decisions, we hope these evaluations provide voters with meaningful information in deciding whether to retain justices and judges.
