A few questions:

1) Are observers recently retired on court officials? Do active veteran officials do observing?

A little bit of both. Some are retired but many were active officials.

2) Do observers get a fee and who pays the fee, the association or the officials being observed?

Up to the local association as they are the ones that run the actual program.

3) If a fee is paid, how much?

If paid at all, this is up to the local association.

4) Does the observer submit a formal report to the association/board?

No. They talk mostly to the official involved. I guess there is an association that could get a report, but that is not the case.

BTW, this is a very inactive program for the most part. I have not heard of many associations continuing this program at all. The state plays little to no role but came up with a model for the program.
