Committee Chairs
Evaluation Dates
We meet most months, except during the summer. Candidates are typically reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. We receive about 2-4 applications a month, so it is not unusual to have a bit of a waiting period.
Documents
Dear Judicial Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in being screened by the Cardozo Judicial Evaluation Committee (CJEC). To schedule your screening date, please submit the following materials to [email protected] and [email protected]:
1. Your Governor's Uniform Judicial Evaluation Questionnaire.
2. A signed Waiver of Liability (available in the "Documents" section).
3. Any supporting materials for review, such as writing samples and letters of recommendation.
Please ensure all submitted files include your name in the title (e.g.,"Smith, Jane - Governor Form.pdf"). Additionally, please merge your documents into as few files as possible to help our members stay organized. Preferably just two files - the Governor's Form with accompanying documents and the waiver.
Your twenty-minute interview will be conducted by a quorum of at least four Committee members. You will have the opportunity to provide brief opening, followed by an informal Q&A session with the Committee and a brief closing.
Immediately following the interview, the Committee will deliberate. The Chair of the CJEC will notify you of your rating as promptly as possible. Please note that ratings are also posted on our website and provided to the Governor of Washington.
Our evaluations are based on your questionnaire, reference checks, the interview, and any other relevant information in accordance with our bylaws. Our Committee maintains a diverse membership across various professional and personal backgrounds to ensure a comprehensive evaluation process.
Thank you again for seeking our evaluation.
