Superior Court Judge
June Election Results Are In

Thank you for visiting the Judge Voter Guide website. Our research and recommendations on the judges are designed to help you cut through the rhetoric, election propaganda and biased media coverage that makes it hard to tell which judges to vote for.

Unfortunately, many judges sitting on California courts may be incompetent, corrupt, lazy or soft on crime.

Even worse, many are political opportunists
who have a political agenda—
they are “judicial activists”

A judicial activist legislates from the bench. Instead of strictly interpreting California law, these judges make the laws. Instead of applying the law to facts, they impose their own values on us all.

The results of the 2010 June Election for Superior Court judges are
