Filing Fees to Change Effective July 1, 2013, Due to Repeal of CJD 12-02

May 22, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Chief Justice Directive 12-02 was created in January 2012 to temporarily reduce statutory filing fees. The Colorado State Judicial Branch announced that effective July 1, 2013, that Chief Justice Directive will be repealed, which means that filing fees will increase.

CJD 12-02 affected most civil actions, such as county court civil, small claims, district court civil, domestic relations, probate, juvenile, and water court actions. The fees reverted to the level they were at before CJD 12-02, which is a significant change. The fees for filing in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals did not change.

Colorado Judicial Ethics Advisory Board Opinions 2013-01 and 2013-02 Released

April 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The Colorado Judicial Ethics Advisory Board released two new opinions in late March 2013. The Colorado Judicial Ethics Advisory Board (C.J.E.A.B.) is a supreme court committee comprised of judges and non-judges who offer practical advice on ethical issues to members of the judiciary. There are seven members of the C.J.E.A.B. Four are judges, one is a non-lawyer citizen, one an attorney, and one a law professor with an interest in ethics.

C.J.E.A.B. Opinion 2013-01 addresses the issue of whether a judge can sit on the board of directors for the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance. The decision confirms that the judge may sit on that board, provided he or she is able to ensure that the board activities do not impair his or her impartiality, and that doing so would not lead to frequent disqualification.

C.J.E.A.B. Opinion 2013-02 discusses whether, as part of their administrative duties, judges may ethically select attorneys who are eligible for appointment as counsel for respondent parents in dependency and neglect proceedings. They may select such attorneys, and may also monitor their performance, provided that they maintain impartiality in exercising those decisions and the decisions are based on merit.
