How to Obtain a JAJEC Rating
STEPS TO OBTAIN AN EVALUATION
1. Contact JAJEC 2010 Chair Tana Lin by e-mailing her at: tlin@kellerrohrback.com. In your e-mail, please:
a. Indicate the position(s) you are seeking; and
b. Attach an electronic copy of any one of the following judicial questionnaires (along with any supplements, including writing samples):1. Washington State Bar Association
2. King County Bar Association
3. Governor’s Office Uniform Judicial Evaluation Questionnaire.
If you have more than one of the above, the Uniform Judicial Evaluation Questionnaire is preferred.
2. Once the electronic copy of the application is received, you will be sent a letter via e-mail scheduling the date and time for your interview. You will also receive an electronic copy of the bylaws that govern the process and a roster of JAJEC members.
3. Interviews are held once a month on a first-come, first-serve basis. Up to four candidates are interviewed each month. Interviews are scheduled no earlier than three weeks after receipt of the completed application. All interviews are held during the evening.
It is strongly encouraged that candidates submit their applications for a JAJEC rating several months in advance of the Governor’s deadline to ensure sufficient time to schedule an interview and receive a timely rating. However, candidates seeking a rating from JAJEC pursuant to a Notice of Vacancy from the Governor’s office must provide the committee chair with their request for rating and their materials at a minimum 30 days before the deadline for submission of the rating to the Governor’s Office of General Counsel or one week prior to the deadline for submission of the application to the Governor’s Office, whichever is earlier.
