The Problem

Judges release repeat offenders. Communities pay the price.

Defendants rearrested within days or weeks.

Criminals skip court and disappear.

Violent reoffenses while on release because the public never knew who approved it.

How JudgeLookup Works

Search a name → see the judge → see the full record, including term expiration and how to hold them accountable at the ballot box.

In the News – Real-Time Reoffender Alerts

When a released defendant reoffends, JudgeLookup puts the judge's name, record, and accountability info front-and-center.

BREAKING EXAMPLE October 2024 • Seattle / King County

Judge Bender repeatedly releases violent offenders on low bail

Attempted murder suspect (shot grandmother multiple times) released on just $5,000 cash bail. Another suspect accused of dumping bodies of two young girls released on $2,000 cash bail.
