KUSA - Colorado voters tend not to fire judges who fail their official state performance reviews.
After a 9NEWS analysis exposing the issue last year, voters in the viewing area did fire one judge who was labeled “do not retain” in the state voter guide.
On Sunday’s program, former state supreme court justice Rebecca Kourlis talks about how judge reviews can be better.
She heads an organization called IAALS, housed at the University of Denver, which just released a new study (http://iaals.du.edu/quality-judges/publications/transparent-courthouse-revisited ) on the subject.
