Selection method

See: Appointment Assistant (Judicial Selection) and Nonpartisan Elections

of 174 judges Arizona Superior Court judges are selected in one of two ways:

• In counties with a population of over 250,000 people, judges are selected on merit. (Currently, only Pima, Pinal, and Maricopa counties use this method, but the constitution requires other counties to adopt merit selection through ballot initiative.) After appointment, a judge must serve for two years and then stand for retention in the next general election by yes or no. If retained, the judge will continue to serve a four-year term.^[9]
• In the state's other 13 counties, judges run in partisan primaries, followed by nonpartisan general elections. Temporary vacancies are filled by appointment by the governor, and the newly appointed judges must stand in the next general election.^[9]

The president of each superior court is selected by the state supreme court. He or she will serve in the position for the remainder of the four-year term.^[9]

2014

Mr. Rea received 67.6 percent of the vote on November 4, 2014, and was retained on the Maricopa County Superior Court.

The committee will vote on whether the candidate meets or does not meet her JPR criteria. Each judge is evaluated on their legal ability, integrity, communication skills, judicial temperament, and administrative performance.^[10]

The committee voted for Mr. Rea. Meets JPR standards. The vote was 29-0 in favor of remaining.^[7]

2010
