At any time prior to or not later than one (1) year after retirement, a judge seeking favorable recommendation for initial appointment as a senior judge shall file with the Commission a request in writing for such recommendation. The term of such appointment shall be for a term of four (4) years unless the judge has reached his or her seventy-fourth (74th) birthday, in which case the appointment shall be for a term of two (2) years.
Contemporaneous with the filing of the request, or at such other time as the Commission allows, such judge shall submit to the Commission a written statement, including illustrative materials, reviewing such significant aspects of his or her judicial activities and accomplishments that he or she believes may be helpful to the Commission in its evaluation of his or her request. The written statement shall include, but is not limited to, a summary of the judge's history of judicial appointments, calendar and committee assignments, training and education, speaking engagements, awards and accolades, community service activities, as well as illustrative materials that highlight the judge's written and analytical skills. The written statement also shall include the hours the judge is eligible to serve as a senior judge, the number of hours the judge intends to serve, and the number of hours the judge has served in the judge's most recent prior senior judge term, if relevant. Further, the written statement shall disclose any current service or intention to serve in a private capacity as a mediator, arbitrator, or legal professional.
A judge requesting recommendation for initial appointment as a senior judge not more than four (4) years subsequent to the date of his or her appointment or reappointment as an associate judge of a District of Columbia Court pursuant to §§ 433 of the Self-Government Act shall submit a written statement as prescribed by §§ 2037.2 but may limit the matters addressed in his or her statement to those judicial activities performed since the date of such appointment or reappointment.
[Repealed.]
Not more than one hundred eighty (180) days nor less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of each term, a senior judge willing to continue to perform judicial duties shall file with the Commission a request in writing for recommendation for reappointment to an additional term. The term of such appointment shall be for a term of four (4) years unless the judge has reached his or her seventy-fourth (74th) birthday, in which case the appointment shall be for a term of two (2) years.
Contemporaneous with the filing of the request prescribed by §§ 2037.5, or at such other time as the Commission allows, such judge shall submit to the Commission a written statement reviewing such significant aspects of his or her judicial activities performed since the date of his or her last appointment or reappointment as he or she believes may be helpful to the Commission in its evaluation of his or her request. The written statement shall include, but is not limited to, a summary of the judge's most recent judicial appointments, calendar and committee assignments, training and education, speaking engagements, awards and accolades, community service activities, as well as illustrative materials that highlight the judge's written and analytical skills.
A judge who does not file a request within the time periods prescribed in §§ 2037.1 and 2037.5 shall not be eligible for appointment as a senior judge at any time thereafter, except for good cause shown.
