Judgement Call

Educational Page: Judgement Call begins with an educational page that explains what judges do, how they are selected, and why their decisions matter. It’s designed to give users basic understanding of the judicial role before they explore specific judges.

Judge Lookup Page: Users can enter their ZIP code to see every judge who serves their jurisdiction. Each judge’s page includes basic demographic information as well as the cases they have presided over and how they ruled, helping people understand patterns in specific judges' decision‑making.

Analytics Page: The analytics page zooms out to show broader trends across judges and courts. It highlights patterns in case types, outcomes, and judicial behavior across regions, giving more data‑interested users a view of how the system is functioning overall.
