Jeremy P Boyce

Jeremy P. Boyce was appointed to the Crowley County Court in 2023. He hears civil, misdemeanor, traffic and small claims cases, and maintains a law practice in Greeley. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Colorado in 1992 and his law degree from Washburn University School of Law in 2009.

The Sixteenth Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance voted 8 to 0 that he does not meet performance standards, with one commissioner abstaining and one vacancy on the commission, and recommends that he not be retained. The commission met with the chief judge, the public defender and the district attorney, interviewed Judge Boyce and watched him in court. It writes that survey responses "were insufficient to factor meaningfully into the review".

The commission found that Judge Boyce "was highly inefficient, failed to issue orders in a timely manner, improperly involved himself in plea negotiations, and disregarded established law." The commission writes that after it gave him feedback during the interim period he "made only one minor adjustment and, rather than demonstrating improvement, appeared to regress." It reports that he "had exhausted the support of two mentors without meaningful improvement in his judicial performance, by all accounts, his performance had deteriorated."

In a response published with the evaluation, Judge Boyce writes: "I take full responsibility for my errors and recognize that my actions impacted court staff and those who appeared in my courtroom." He adds: "I admit I was wrong and will make things right." and "If you provide me the opportunity, I will regain your trust."
