Under contract with the Alaska Judicial Council, the Justice Center from 1992 to 2000 (election years only) conducted surveys of Alaska Bar Association members and Alaska police and probation officers to obtain quantitative data as part of the Judicial Council's evaluation of Alaska judges standing for retention in election years.
     The Judicial Council is directed by law to evaluate the performance of judges due to appear on the ballot. The Council collects evaluations from attorneys, peace and probation officers, jurors, social workers, public hearings, and information from many other sources. The Council then recommends to the public whether each judge should be retained. The recommendations, as well as information about the evaluation of each judge, are sent to each voter in the Official Election Pamphlet.
