Judicial Nominating Commissions
There is a judicial district nominating commission for each of Colorado’s judicial districts that selects nominees for district and county judicial vacancies. Each district nominating commission is chaired by a justice of the Supreme Court, a non-voting member of the commission. Attorney appointments are a joint appointment by the governor, chief justice and attorney general.
