<span>This article shares the results of a multi-year, national effort to modernize judicial performance evaluation (JPE) programs, which are currently in use or under consideration in nearly twenty U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, it describes the genesis and work of the JPE 2.0 Project, a national effort undertaken by IAALS, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System at the University of Denver. The article presents new findings on the current state of JPE programs and offers recommendations on how such programs can provide more reliable data on judicial performance, include the views of a broader range of court users, and better reflect the roles and responsibilities of the modern judiciary.</span>
