Colorado — Centennial
Judges, honestly.
TrialVector is software — not a lawyer, not a law firm, and not a substitute for one. It provides legal information of a general nature, not legal advice; it prepares no documents for you in Colorado today; and it forms no attorney-client relationship.
What this platform does not host
No judge profiles, rulings analytics, or assignment predictions exist here for Colorado — the judiciary's own pages are the source for who sits where. What IS here: the loaded law about how Colorado judicial officers hold their seats.
The loaded law about the bench
- District judge counts are statutory — each 13-5 composition section carries its district's judge numbers, amendment by amendment: the 1st, Denver's 2nd, the 23rd.
- Water judges are designated annually — the supreme court designates one per division each January, and only the water judge may act in water matters: C.R.S. § 37-92-203.
- Denver's county judges ride the charter — art. VI, § 26's own words: the section, verbatim.
- Magistrates hear the traffic docket — county court magistrates under the loaded 42-4-1708: the forum statute.
- Recusal on motion is statutory — C.R.S. § 13-5-143, read whole on its page.
