The Colorado system of judicial performance evaluations is the Cadillac of JPEs; they spend more money on their system than other states, and their system has been designed by experts. Even still, disparities in the scores of female and male judges persist. These disparities cannot be explained away using objective measures of judicial performance. The gap appears in the attorney survey stage. The commission's recommendations are based largely on the recommendations from these problematic attorney surveys. What's more, the commission adds another layer of gender bias on top of that included in the attorney surveys.
