COLORADO JUDICIAL BRANCH
Facts
• There are 22 Judicial Districts within the State of Colorado, established by the State Legislature in 1963 and last revised in 1975.
Changes in District boundaries require a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature.
• As of July 1, 2001, the Colorado Judicial Branch has a total of 249 Judges and Justices: 7 Supreme Court Justices, 16 Court of Appeals Judges, 125 District Court Judges, and 118 County Court Judges.
This excludes Denver County Court Judges (17), who are appointed by the Mayor of Denver.
(District Judgeships are being added yearly according to statute.)
The Mayor appoints a judge from the nominees to serve a provisional two-year term. After the two year provisional term, the judges must stand for retention election to serve a full four year term and face retention elections every four years.
