Judging the Judges

gavel011307.jpgThis is an intriguing idea — a website with anonymous comments about federal judges around the country.
Many considerations go into assessing litigation risk — strength of legal case, quality of witnesses, timing, relative financial strength of the parties, etc. However, a good understanding of the judge’s tendencies is sometimes the most valuable nugget of information.
There are not all that many comments on the website, yet. But it could develop into a valuable market device to assist parties and lawyers measure litigation risk. It will be interesting to see whether this catches on. Frankly, it should.
