Part 17. Judicial Performance Evaluations

Final Reports

3-1-1705. (Temporary) Final reports. (1) The commission shall compile a final report for each judge relying on that judge's final evaluation. The final report may also be based on further information the commission considers useful for purposes of judicial evaluation or self-improvement.

(2) The commission shall provide the final report to the evaluated judge, the Montana supreme court, and the court administrator.

(3) (a) The commission may publish a partial final report for a judge whose appointment date precludes the collection of complete final evaluation data. For a newly appointed judge, a final report is considered partial when the final evaluation is missing a respondent group.

(b) The commission's web page must identify each judge receiving a partial final report.

(4) Prior to a partial final report, the commission shall inform the court administrator of the judges who will receive partial reports. (Terminates June 30, 2035--sec. 14, Ch. 765, L. 2025.)
