Help Your Neighbors Make Informed Choices for Judges

As lawyers, you are often a trusted source about the judiciary, and often approached by neighbors, friends, and family for advice on who to vote for in judicial elections. Feel free to share detailed data about the performance of the 51 judges on this year's ballot at judges.utah.gov.

By referring individuals to the website, lawyers help promote transparency in the judicial selection process. You may also pick up a free yard sign provided by the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commissions (JPEC) at the Utah Law & Justice Center's receptionist desk.

It allows students to learn about the law in a hands-on way, guided by expert volunteers who serve as judges and attorney coaches. This program wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of legal professionals like you.
