Please click on the link below and email our staff Contact Us The State Commission on Judicial Performance unanimously recommends that Justice Allison H. Eid BE RETAINED. Two commissioners recused. Justice Eid was appointed to the Colorado Supreme Court in 2006. She grew up in Spokane, Washington, and graduated from Stanford University and from the University of Chicago Law School, where she was articles editor of the law review. She is the Supreme Court ’s liaison justice to five of the court’s committees, which has included work to improve the Supreme Court library. She is also an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado School of Law. Before her appointment to the Court, Justice Eid was the Solicitor General of the State of Colorado, representing Colorado officials and agencies in state and federal courts; an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Law, where she taught constitutional law, tort law, and statutory interpretation; and an attorney with the Denver office of Arnold & Porter. She clerked for United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and for United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith. Justice Eid’s high standard for proficiency and efficiency reflects her enthusiasm for her work. Attorneys who responded to survey questions rated Justice Eid above average for: (1) writing opinions that are clear, that adequately explain the basis of the court’s opinion, and that are well-reasoned, based on the law and facts; and (2) being well-prepared for oral argument. Attorneys also commented that she was fair and impartial. Judges who responded to survey questions rated her above average for writing opinions that are clear and that adequately explain the court’s decision. The Commission reviewed a variety of Justice Eid’s opinions and concluded that they were clear, concise and very well-written. Because of her prior role as Solicitor General, Justice Eid followed the court’s custom and recused herself from a large number of cases during her first year on the bench. She wrote far more concurring and dissenting opinions than other justices. Overall, 91% of attorneys surveyed and 96% of judges surveyed supported Justice Eid’s retention, with 88% of attorneys and 81% of judges strongly recommending that she be retained in office.

EEiidd 2008 Judicial Performance Survey ## Page 2 April 30, 2008 The Honorable Allison H. Eid Colorado Supreme Court Colorado State Judicial Bldg. 2 East 14th Avenue Denver, CO. 80203 Dear Justice Eid : Every two years the Colorado Judicial Performance Commission conducts a survey of attorneys who have had cases with opinions authored or co-authored by those appellate judges and justices standing for retention in the next general election, and a second survey among all the State’s district judges, Court of Appeals judges and Supreme Court justices. This report contains the results of these two surveys, and is divided into four main sections: • Attorney Results & Comments: This section contains graphs displaying the overall average grade you received on questions 2a through 2l, and on each question. Following the graphs, are a series of tables showing the percentage distribution of responses to each question. Attorney respondents were also asked to comment about your performance. These comments have been transcribed, and in some instances redacted to eliminate respondent identifying information. A copy of the attorney questionnaire is at the back of this report. • Survey of Judges Results & Comments: Similar to the Attorney section, this portion of the report contains graphs (again including the overall average of questions 1 through 10 on the Survey of Judges questionnaire), the percentage distribution of responses by the trail judges to each substantive question in the survey. The judges were also asked to comment about your performance. Again, these comments have been transcribed, and in some instances redacted to eliminate respondent identifying information. A copy of the Survey of Judges questionnaire is also at the back of this report. • Methodology: The fourth section of the report discusses the methodology of the survey. • Questionnaires: And the final section provides copies of the questionnaires that were used. If you have any questions about the methodology and how the survey was conducted, please feel free to contact me at 303-443-5300 ext 1, and for any other questions you might have about the survey please call the Executive Director of the Colorado Judicial Performance Program, Jane Howell, at 303-837-3665.

Talmey-Drake Research was also provided with the list of Colorado judges and justices. Two surveys were conducted, one among attorneys who had opinions authored or co-authored by one of the six Court of Appeals judges or two Supreme Court justices facing a retention vote in 2008, and a second survey of Colorado district and appellate judges and justices. Questionnaire: Copies of the two questionnaires used are provided at the end of this report. Respondents were asked to use a grade of A, B, C, D, or F (Fail) to assess the judge’s performance in a number of different areas. These grades were then converted to a numerical value where A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and Fail = 0. Response: The response rate is calculated as the number of completed questionnaires divided by the number of eligible respondents who actually received a questionnaire. The following table shows the total number of questionnaires mailed, completed, non-responses & refusals, undeliverables and other responses. The table presents the overall response rate for each survey as well as the response rate for your surveys. Overall Response Rate No Response Respondent Type Total Sent Response Undeliverable Other Completed Rate Attorneys 838 324 139 21 354 50.6% Judges 178 64 7 0 107 62.6% Response Rate for Justice Eid No Response Respondent Type Total Sent Response Undeliverable Other Completed Rate Attorneys 92 29 19 3 41 56.2% Judges 178 64 7 0 107 62.6% 1 ## Page 34 Results: The results of the Survey are in two main sections: Attorney Respondents and Judge Respondents. Within each main section are three subsections: graphs displaying average grades for each section and question, the percentage distribution of grades, and respondent comments. Graphs: The graphs visually display the overall average numerical grades received for all grade questions, each section and each question compared to the combined averages for the Court of Appeals judges and Supreme Court justices about whom surveys in 2008 were conducted. Percentage Distribution of Grades: This section shows the percentage of each grade received on each question plus the bias, sentencing and retention questions. An average grade point for each graded question is computed and shown in the results section. A letter grade is also assigned to each grade point according to the following scale. A = 4.00 B = 3.00 to 3.33 C = 2.00 to 2.33 D = 1.00 to 1.33 A— = 3.68 to 3.99 B—= 2.67 to 2.99 C—= 1.67 to 1.99 D— = 0.67 to 0.99 B+ = 3.34 to 3.66 C+ = 2.34 to 2.66 D+ = 1.34 to 1.66 Fail = 0.00 to 0.67 This section also includes a comparative column of results showing the results for that question for the other appellate judges justices about whom surveys were conducted in 2008. Comments: Each respondent was encouraged to comment on the judge’s performance. This section contains these comments—again divided between results from attorneys and judges. Projectability: Most surveys seen by the public are surveys that are intended to be projectable, that is the results from the sample of people surveyed can be used to estimate a percentage or value of the population sampled with a known probability of error. For example, a pre-election poll of 500 likely Colorado voters is used to estimate the percentage of voters who will vote for Candidate A on election day, plus or minus some number of percentage points. The plus or minus amount is usually what is known as the 95%- confidence interval (the known probability of error), or what the media often refers to as the margin-of-error. The Colorado Judicial Performance Evaluation Survey is not projectable with a known probability of error because the results are calculated from a self- selecting sample that is self-selecting based on the content and subject matter of the survey. In other words, the potential respondent knows the purpose and content of the survey, and based on that, decides whether to respond to the survey. 2 ## Page 35 While projectability within a known probability of error is a highly desirable attribute of a survey, it is often not feasible to achieve. Commercial market research often uses nonprojectable (and small) samples—the most well known of which are for focus groups. Moreover, the federal courts have long accepted, and do not expect, projectable samples for market confusion surveys used in trademark litigation. The Judicial Performance Evaluation Survey is a valuable means, perhaps the only practical means, for the Judicial Performance Commissions to have a summary of structured interviews with a number of people who have courtroom familiarity with the judge being evaluated, and who most often— albeit not always—are responding out of a desire to improve the performance of our state’s judicial system. 3 ## Page 36 QQuueessttiioonnnnaaiirreess ## Page 37 Additional Comments _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Commission on Judicial Performance _ _ Appellate Questionnaire _ Evaluation of _ JUDGE FULL NAME _ _ _ 1.
