How this rating is calculated
  • Only published reviews from verified reviewers count toward the score.
  • Each review is weighted by verification: verified person ×0.5, verified case participant ×1, document-supported ×1.5, official-record-confirmed ×2. Unverified (level 0) reviews are weighted ×0 and never move the score.
  • Each category is the weighted mean of 1–5 answers, rescaled to 0–100 as (mean − 1) ÷ 4 × 100.
  • The overall score is the unweighted mean of the category scores that received at least one answer.
  • Reviews flagged by the review-integrity engine as possible coordinated activity are excluded from the score and reported separately.
  • No overall score is published below 5 verified reviews.
  • Confidence reflects verified review count, number of distinct cases, recency and verification strength — never the sentiment of the reviews.

Separation of evidence

Claim ledger

Public feedback, document-supported claims and official findings are counted separately and never merged into a single accusation number.

Name-match research — not a finding

These are appeals and federal filings located by public name search. A person's name appearing in a case does not mean they were accused of anything, and names repeat — always open the docket before drawing any conclusion.

Docket pull & analysis

All dockets on record and possible issues

Pulls every docket and decision public court records return for this judge, then flags neutral metadata patterns: long-pending cases, appellate reversals, child-safeguard matters and civil-rights claims. Official court calendars are linked for the state cases the API does not carry.

Metadata analysis — not an adjudication

This pulls every docket and decision the public court-records API returns for this judge's name, then flags patterns from dates and captions alone: long-pending cases, appellate reversals, child and family safeguards, civil-rights claims. Flags are prompts to read the record, never conclusions about the judge.
