Over the last number of years, the North Carolina Bar Association has worked to set up a blind system by which practicing attorneys can rate trial court judges up for re-election, and to rate attorneys in the private practice who are running for that seat.
The result of that hard work is set forth below. You can learn what attorneys in the know say about the trial court races in your district. If you live in a district other than Forsyth County, you can go to the general website noted below, plug in the appropriate county, and it will take you to the available data.
At this juncture, appellate judge races, for the North Carolina Supreme Court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, are not scored.
Making
informed decisions in judicial races can be daunting--even for
attorneys. For the District and Superior Court contested elections, the
North Carolina Bar Association has gathered and compiled information about the
candidates for trial court judge based on surveys of active lawyers in North
Carolina. This information is available at our new website, www.electncjudges.org.

Please
share this important information and the public service announcement shown
below with your friends, colleagues and interested organizations.
I hope this helps you make a more informed decision in choosing the best candidates for these important judicial elections. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions. (mikew@wellsjenkins.com; 336-714-2566).
