** The data reflect the number of justices and judges on the bench as of February 1, 2008. For the Courts of Appeal, the data do not include justices who have been appointed, but not yet confirmed. For the trial courts, the data reflect those judges who have taken their oaths of office as of February 1, 2008.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 for descriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

*** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" categoryincludes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" but identified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

*** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" categoryincludes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" but identified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

** The data reflect the number of justices and judges on the bench as of February 1, 2008. For the Courts of Appeal, the data do not include justices who have been appointed, but not yet confirmed. For the trial courts, the data reflect those judges who have taken their oaths of office as of February 1, 2008.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 for descriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

Note: The changes in percentages from 2007 to 2008 are the result of more than one factor, including: (1) new judicial appointments; (2) judicial retirements; and (3) newly-acquired information from judges who were on the bench before February 1, 2007, but who did not provide information for the March 1, 2007, report.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 for descriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" category includes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" but identified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

Note: The changes in percentages from 2007 to 2008 are the result of more than one factor, including: (1) new judicial appointments; (2) judicial retirements; and (3) newly-acquired information from judges who were on the bench before February 1, 2007, but who did not provide information for the March 1, 2007, report.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 for descriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" category includes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" but identified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

Note: The changes in percentages from 2007 to 2008 are the result of more than one factor, including: (1) new judicial appointments; (2) judicial retirements; and (3) newly-acquired information from judges who were on the bench before February 1, 2007, but who did not provide information for the March 1, 2007, report.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 for descriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" category includes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" but identified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

* The race and ethnicity category descriptions were adapted from definitions used by the U.S. Census Bureau in Census 2000, which for the first time invited respondents to identify more than one category. See page 53 fordescriptions of race and ethnicity categories.

** "Some other race only" includes respondents who indicated they do not consider themselves to be any of the six identified race and ethnicity categories. To provide the most accurate data, the "some other race" category includes only those respondents who identified some other race or ethnicity that did not clearly fall within one or more of the six identified categories. Respondents who indicated "some other race or ethnicity" butidentified that race or ethnicity as one or more of the six identified categories are included within the appropriate categories.

Note: The changes in percentages from 2007 to 2008 are the result of more than one factor, including: (1) new judicial appointments; (2) judicial retirements; and (3) newly-acquired information from judges who were on the bench before February 1, 2007, but who did not provide information for the March 1, 2007, report.
