Judicial Evaluation Survey

2025–2026 Judicial Evaluation Survey

Each year, the D.C. Bar Judicial Evaluation Committee invites Bar members who have appeared before selected judges of the D.C. Court of Appeals and the D.C. Superior Court to provide feedback through an anonymous survey.

The survey is administered by an independent research organization to ensure confidentiality. Results are presented to the Chief Judges, the individual judges evaluated, and the D.C. Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure.

Survey findings provide valuable insight into judicial performance, highlight best practices, and support the Bar’s commitment to strengthening the administration of justice.

The 2025–2026 Judicial Evaluation Survey is available starting Wednesday, November 12, 2025, through Friday, January 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Attorneys who had a case pending before one or more of the judges listed below during the 24-month evaluation period from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, are eligible to participate.

Research USA, the independent research organization administering the survey, will email a unique survey link to all eligible attorneys.

If you are eligible but do not receive an invitation by November 15, 2025, please request a survey link directly from Research USA at [email protected].
