Bar Association of Erie County releases ratings<br />
of Judicial Candidates<br />
The Bar Association of Erie County has completed and issued its <strong>2020</strong> ratings for judicial candidates for New York State<br />
Supreme Court and Erie County Court. The ratings are as follows:<br />
New York State Supreme Court<br />
Gerald J. Greenan III – Not Recommended<br />
Hon. Amy C. Martoche – Well Qualified<br />
Erie County Court<br />
Hon. Kenneth F. Case – Outstanding<br />
The Association uses a four-level rating system of Outstanding, Well Qualified, Qualified, and Not Recommended.<br />
Ratings are done annually prior to fall elections to assist the public in making informed decisions as they vote for judicial<br />
candidates.<br />
Judicial candidates are evaluated on criteria necessary to hold judicial office, including integrity, experience, professional<br />
ability, education, reputation, industry, temperament, fairness, statutory standards, attitude, punctuality, and knowledge<br />
of the law. Judicial candidates are asked to complete a written questionnaire and are also interviewed as part of the<br />
comprehensive rating process. Interviews with lawyers and judges who have had interaction with the candidates are also<br />
considered in determining the rating for judicial office. Please visit eriebar.org for further information.<br />
The Bar Association of Erie County has been rating candidates for judicial office since 1993. With more than 3,000<br />
members, the not-for-profit professional association was founded in 1887 to advance the administration of justice through<br />
programs and services for the legal profession and the public.<br />
