Judicial Performance evaluation survey • PHase i

Preface

norTh carolina bar associaTion

introduction | The Judicial Performance evaluation (JPe) committee of the north carolina bar association is pleased to provide this report summarizing the results of Phase i of its survey of north carolina superior and district court judges elected or appointed to the bench before March 31, 2013, whose terms expire in 2014, as well as special superior court judges. a second survey (Phase ii) will be conducted in March 2014 in which attorneys will evaluate superior and district court judges appointed after March 31, 2013, whose terms expire in 2014 and lawyers who file for election to the superior or district court in 2014.

background | in 2006, the ncba’s administration of Justice committee produced a report noting the lack of information available to members of the public to enable them to cast an informed vote based on a judge’s performance. The report recommended the creation of the JPe committee. The ncba’s board of governors followed that recommendation, and the JPe committee was formed in 2008. The committee was charged with creating and administering a survey by which lawyers could evaluate a judge’s performance. results of the survey could be utilized to provide information for the voting public. The JPe committee is currently led by former district court Judge nancy black norelli and it is comprised of seven retired judges, seven retired attorneys and seven laypersons.

The ncba contracted with bdo usa, llP, a national accounting firm with local offices in raleigh, to conduct the survey. bdo usa served as gate-keeper throughout the survey process, ensuring that only persons meeting the survey requirements were allowed to participate and that those who did participate remained anonymous.

The ncba also employed statistician larry nelson, a well-respected retired member of the faculty at north carolina state university, to evaluate the methodology to ensure that the survey would encourage the most participation possible and generate statistically valid results.

survey details | The survey asked attorneys with an active north carolina law license to rate each included judge with whom the attor-ney had sufficient professional contact to be able to evaluate the judge’s performance in the six categories below, using a scale of 5 (excellent), 4 (good), 3 (average), 2 (below average) and 1 (poor):

1. integrity and impartiality | Judge is fair to all persons, bases decisions on facts and law and refrains from inappropriate ex parte communications;

2. legal ability | Judge demonstrates knowledge of law and rules of procedure and evidence;

3. Professionalism | Judge exercises patience, is courteous to all and attentive to proceedings at hand, fulfills out-of-court duties and responsibili-ties, and upholds the dignity of the office;

4. communication | Judge speaks clearly and understandably, prepares coherent decisions and carefully reviews orders before entry;

5. administrative skills | Judge is punctual and prepared, controls the courtroom appropriately, uses courtroom time efficiently, enforces deadlines appropriately, makes timely decisions and enters orders promptly; and

6. overall Performance | rate the judge’s overall performance.

if the rating attorney felt that his or her knowledge of a particular judge was sufficient to rate some but not all of the qualities, the lawyer indicated “do not know” for the quality or qualities that he or she felt unqualified to rate. as a result, the number of responses for a single judge may vary somewhat among the six categories.

To identify the members of the bench who would be eligible to seek election in 2014, the JPe committee collected information from the north carolina state board of elections and the administrative office of the courts. a total of 134 judges, 21 in superior court and 113 in district court, were included in the survey.

a list was compiled of the more than 20,000 lawyers having an active north carolina law license, and email addresses for approximately 95% of those attorneys were obtained. attorneys with email addresses were able to participate in the survey online via an electronic invitation from bdo usa. attorneys without email addresses; attorneys who notified the ncba that they did not wish to participate online; attorneys working for the government, including judges, clerks of court, district attorneys and public defenders; and members of the ncba’s senior lawyers division were provided a paper version of the survey.

on october 15, 2013, bdo usa distributed the survey electronically to each attorney with a known email address. Paper surveys were mailed with an enclosed business reply envelope addressed to and returned directly to bdo usa, who had exclusive access to manage the survey. all survey responses were directed to bdo usa, who protected confidentiality, ensured that each respondent was an eligible attorney and safe-guarded against the possibility of multiple responses from one individual.

The survey was open for participation from october 15 to november 15, 2013. bdo usa compiled the survey results for Professor nelson, who conducted a statistical analysis. Professor nelson received anonymous raw data from the survey, which did not identify the judges. upon review of the data, Professor nelson reported that the results were statistically valid for each judge included in the survey.

summary of results | The total number of responses per judge varied, reflecting variation in the length of past service of the judge as well as, especially for district court judges, the total number of attorneys who practice in the particular judicial district in which the judge presides. for example, a resident judge in a judicial district with a low number of attorneys may have received what seems to be a low overall number of responses, but the total number of responses constitutes a significant percentage of the total number of attorneys practicing in that judicial district.

Judges not included in rePort | The number of judges included in this report is lower than the number of judges in the survey. results for a judge are not included if the judge is deceased or made a public announcement by december 28, 2013, that he or she will not seek election to any judicial office in 2014. if an omitted judge later decides to file for election, the JPe committee will include the survey results for the judge on the ncba web page and in any subsequent publication reporting the survey results and accessible to the public. a total of 120 judges – 17 in superior court and 103 in district court – are listed in this report.

The reasons for decisions by those judges to retire from the bench vary and do not reflect the rating any judge may have received in the survey.

navigating tHis rePort | The information in this report is set out in two distinct sections.

The first section sets forth the summary results for each judge included in the report. The information in this first section reports the average nu-merical rating given by attorneys for each of the six categories for which the judge was evaluated.

The second section provides detailed results for each judge included in the report. This section reports the total number of attorneys who re-sponded for each judge and a breakdown of the number of responses in each rating (5 to 1) for each category for each judge.

in both sections, the superior court judges are listed first and then the district court judges, in order by the number of his or her judicial district and in alphabetical order within the district for those districts with two or more judges.

PHase ii survey | a separate survey evaluating the qualifications of each (i) non-incumbent candidate who files for election in 2014 and (ii) superior and district court judges appointed after March 31, 2013, whose terms expire in 2014 will be conducted in March 2014 and released in april 2014. Those results, combined with the results in this report, will be compiled in an online voter’s guide that will be posted at electncjudges.org.
