The Judicial Council collects, and makes available to voters, more
information on how judges are doing than anywhere else in the world.
Thousands of Alaskans were surveyed in 2008, including attorneys,
peace and probation officers, social workers, guardians ad litem and
CASA volunteers, jurors, court employees,
and others.

After judges retire,
they may help the courts by serving on other cases. The presiding
judge for a judicial district can assign them to sit on individual
cases, or to fill in for a judge on leave. The supreme court has
required Council evaluations of pro tem judges by court rule
(Administrative Rule 23) since 1987. The Council sends its
evaluations to the Chief Justice, who combines them with presiding
judges' evaluations and other materials to decide whether judges
should continue to serve pro tem for another two-year term. The
Council sends survey questionnaires to all Bar members. Please contact
the Council if you have any questions.
