ADDITIONAL WAYS OF FINDING OUT ABOUT JUDGES - for those who want to do their own research.
- Check with lawyers and those within the court system who have similar values and philosophy to your own. They may be able to give you advice.
- Check with conservative, knowledgeable, and trusted legislators and activists in your county, as some of them research judge candidates and/or know the candidates personally.
- Attend a candidate forum, debate, or casual gathering in which local judge candidates will be speaking and interacting with voters.
- If you have an opportunity to interview judge candidates, you might want to incorporate some of the questions used in this JudgeVoterGuide.com Candidate Questionnaire.
- Check candidates' websites and social media for information and candidate endorsement lists. You might do a search for the candidates' names and various issues. Sometimes even pictures give insightful clues about the candidate - who they are pictured with, at what events, etc.
- Look for more ideas in KCET's article, "How to Judge a Judge," by Brian Frank, and the 2026 article, LAist "Los Angeles County Superior Court Judges", regarding evaluating Judge candidates.
