Utah Judicial Commission Launches New Website to Better Inform Voters

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.
