On Dec 22, the North Carolina State Bar released a statement that it will not go ahead with initial plans to rate judges on a simple “qualified/unqualified” rating scale.
The Bar cites an insufficient number of responses to the survey taken during the summer of 2009. However, in an earlier public release, the Bar stated that 3,140 responses were received and never intimated that this was an insufficient data pool.
The most recent announcement also indicates that preliminary results were given to judges and requests that no one use those results in the upcoming election.
