How are the Judicial Districts determined?

They are set by the Legislature and require a 2/3 vote to make changes to their boundaries. Since they are not population-based, they are not redistricted on a regular basis. They all include whole counties in their jurisdiction.

Some, like Denver, have enough court cases to warrant only having one county in the Judicial District (Denver is District 2). Others may be combined with neighboring counties in a Judicial District as case loads and facilities allow.
