Welcome to JudgeAccount
Judicial Accountability
Through Community Transparency
A public platform dedicated to documenting judicial conduct through firsthand experiences and verified media sources. Know more about who you're voting for or where you're appearing.
Our Mission
JudgeAccount exists to create an accessible, transparent platform where individuals can share truthful, firsthand accounts of their experiences with judges and document judicial conduct through verified media sources.
We believe the judicial system must be accountable to the public it serves. Through reliable information and community-driven documentation, we foster informed civic engagement and promote transparency in our courts.
Our platform serves as a critical resource for voters, litigants, attorneys, and citizens seeking verified information about judicial officers prior to hearings, trials, appearances, elections, retention votes, and appointments.
How JudgeAccount Works
Read Our Community Guidelines
Before participating, all users must read and understand our Community Guidelines. These guidelines establish our ethical framework and ensure all content meets our standards for integrity, truthfulness, and firsthand experience.
Register & Login
Create a free account to participate. Registration is required for submitting reviews and media links. Your account allows you to manage your submissions and ensures accountability in our community.
Search for Judges
Use our comprehensive judge directory to search by name, court, state, or location. Browse existing reviews and verified media links to learn about judicial conduct from multiple sources.
Submit Your Review
Important: You may only review judges before whom you have personally appeared in a hearing. Personal appearance means you were a named party (plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent) or witness in a case before the judge. This firsthand experience requirement is fundamental to our platform's integrity. Reviews must be truthful, factual accounts of your direct experience.
Submit Media Links
Anyone can submit verified media links from reputable news sources or official court documents. All media links undergo a verification process before appearing publicly on the site.
Verification Process
All submissions are reviewed before going live. Media links are verified for authenticity and source credibility. This process ensures the integrity and reliability of information on our platform.
