What if judges had KPIs?

In this episode of the R2BW podcast, we explore a deceptively simple question: should judges be measured against performance targets in the same way we measure people in other professions? Could KPIs improve consistency, efficiency and accountability—or do they risk distorting judicial decision-making and undermining the independence of the judiciary?

We unpack what “performance” could even mean for a judge, who should do the measuring, and whether metrics can ever capture the quality and complexity of judicial work. It’s a conversation about accountability, independence and the difficult question of how we judge the judges.
