As a lawyer, knowing as much as possible about the judge assigned to the case has always been an important part of preparation. One of the newest and most efficient ways to find out about judges throughout California and other states is to use judicial analytics.
These specially designed software programs are able to access data about the judge. This includes how the judge rules in specific types of motions, the typical time spent in each aspect of the case as well as a judicial summary and full searchable ruling database.
This makes finding information easier for attorneys and helps the professionals to know if a judge is a good match for their case and clients. This is true for seasoned judges as well as those who are new to the bench.
