Maricopa County Superior Court Judicial Officers
Judges are appointed by the Governor through a merit-based selection process set out in the Arizona Constitution. When a vacancy occurs, a nonpartisan commission reviews applications, gathers information about each candidate, and holds public meetings. The commission then sends a list of qualified candidates to the Governor, who selects the new judge. This process focuses on each candidate’s legal skills, experience, and commitment to serving the community.
