Colorado Politics examined the workloads of various courts in 2022, with the federal system reporting calendar year statistics and the state judiciary operating on a fiscal year that ends on June 30. In addition to trends in case filings, the analysis also looked at personnel changes on the bench, retention and discipline, and the frequency of lawyers being paired with self-represented parties.

Last year, the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline commenced more formal disciplinary cases against judges than it had in the prior 12 years total, according to the commission's annual report, while at the same time issuing relatively few corrective actions.
