Judge-y

Judge-y gives attorneys, litigants, court watchers, and the general public a platform to rate and review judges — bringing transparency and accountability to the courtroom. Whether you've argued before a judge, represented yourself in court, or observed proceedings as a member of the public, your experience matters. Judge-y lets you share it. RATE AND REVIEW JUDGES Submit detailed ratings across multiple criteria based on your courtroom experience. Rate judges on a 1-5 scale, add comments, and specify your experience type — from court appearances and motion hearings to trials and sentencing. Post anonymously or under your verified identity. BROWSE THE JUDGE DIRECTORY Search judges by name, court, or location. Filter by court type, jurisdiction, case type, or rating. View overall ratings, rating breakdowns by criteria, and reviewer demographics to get a complete picture. VERIFIED ATTORNEY BADGES Attorneys can verify their credentials with their state bar number to earn a verified badge, adding credibility to their reviews. Verification is optional — anonymous posting is always available. COMMUNITY FORUMS Join discussions about judicial conduct, share insights, and learn from others' experiences. Create threads, reply to posts, upvote helpful contributions, and tag specific judges in your discussions. Post anonymously with a randomly generated username for privacy.
