Joint Asian Judicial Evaluations Committee

Judicial Evaluations

The Korean American Bar Association of Washington, along with the Asian Bar Association of Washington, Filipino Lawyers of Washington, South Asian Bar Association of Washington, and Vietnamese American Bar Association of Washington, is a member of the Joint Asian Judicial Evaluation Committee (”JAJEC”).

WHAT THE JAJEC RATINGS MEAN:

JAJEC does not endorse candidates for judicial office. Rather, JAJEC evaluates candidates by providing the public with our ratings.

A candidate may be rated Exceptionally Well Qualified (EWQ), Well Qualified (WQ), Qualified (Q), or Not Qualified (NQ) based on various factors including his or her integrity, fairness, legal ability, and demonstrated commitment to equal justice. The JEC chair notifies the Applicant of the rating within two days by phone or mail. This rating is valid for three years. Although the rating is made public, all information disclosed by the Applicant or the Applicant’s references and all discussions of the Committee are kept confidential.
