In this paper we provide a method for constructing joint distributions for an arbitrary set of observables on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces irrespective of whether the observables commute or not. These distributions have a number of desirable properties: they agree with the standard quantum mechanical ones if the observables commute, they also depend continuously on the observables, and under unitary transformations they behave in a reasonable manner.
