How We Researched San Francisco Judges

Stop Crime SF spent nine months researching the performance of 14 San Francisco judges whose terms end in January 2025.  We do this to make our judicial system more transparent and accountable.  And we hope to prod the Superior Court into greater transparency so the public can understand its judiciary, and achieve better “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

Stop Crime Action used our data to issue this report:


Our Stop Crime SF research on these judges included: 

·       A survey of trial attorneys who are close observers of San Francisco judges;

·       Research on appeals of court rulings;

·       Research on case history data on selected judicial rulings;

·       In-depth analysis of a limited sample of potentially problematic rulings;
