The JEC board follows set criteria and procedures in making endorsements.  The committee endorses a candidate for judicial office based on the following criteria:  (1) the candidate's legal skill and ability; (2) the candidate's experience as a professional and in the community; (3) the candidate's temperament and demeanor for a judicial position; and (4) the candidate's support for women in the legal profession, the rights of women under the law and other organizational positions. 

 

The board evaluates each candidate for a race and conducts a thorough investigation.  The investigation specifically includes interviewing practitioners about the candidates, both those that the candidate has listed as references and others in the relevant community.  For candidates who have already served as appellate judges, the investigation includes reading their opinions.  The procedure is thorough and the committee takes its obligation to investigate very seriously.  

 

Please contact committee Chair, Stella Boswell (stella@stellaboswell.com) or 919-656-9526 with any questions.
