Look up your judges
Filter by county, appellate district, grade, record lean, or search by name. Grades use the Wake family common-sense rubric adapted for judges.
How grades work
Common-sense grade for judges (FairPAC / Wake the Bench). Not an official court label. Full methodology.
| Grade | Meaning | When we use it |
|---|---|---|
| A | Common-sense record | Sourced public-safety / parental-rights / anti-bureaucracy case-vote patterns (published opinions) |
| C | Mixed / thin record | Insufficient public evidence for A or F; explicit note required |
| F | Out of touch on the basics | Public CJP discipline/censure OR sourced progressive-bench signals with cites |
A and F require cites; thin → C.
We never invent CJP findings or court holdings.
Composite labels
FairPAC / Wake the Bench assessment only — not an official court label. A / C / F are legacy aliases.
- Aligned — Common-sense record. Cited public-safety / parental-rights / anti-bureaucracy patterns match FairPAC common-sense outcomes. Alias of legacy A.
- Contested — Mixed record. Cited signals pull both ways. Alias of legacy C when mixed.
- Misaligned — Out of touch on the basics. Public CJP discipline/censure OR sourced progressive-bench / restrictive-liberty + defendant-forward + agency-expansion patterns with cites. Alias of legacy F.
- Thin — Not enough public cites yet. Researchable but unsourced — default until cites land. Alias of legacy C when thin.
