The role of the Judicial Evaluation Review Panel is to assist the Chief Justice with evaluations. The panel consists of former judges, members of the public knowledgeable in the law, and retired practitioners. The panel is separated into three groups, each consisting of one former judge, one non-practicing attorney, and one member of the public.
