We analyze judicial decisions and solicit voter’s opinions on ten different legal topics:

• Criminal procedure (whether the procedural rights of a criminal defendant were violated)
• Substantive criminal law (whether the defendant’s actions were covered by the criminal statute in question or whether an imposed sentence was too severe)
• Personal injury/tort case against a corporation or public entity (not including medical malpractice cases)
• Medical malpractice (patient suing a doctor or hospital)
• Employment/housing discrimination (employer or landlord being sued for discrimination)
• Tax (government body or taxing agency is suing or being sued over amount of taxes or assessment or other tax issue)
• Judicial review (did the candidate strike down a state law or agency regulation—or did he or she refuse to do so when other members of the court did)
• Stare decisis (did the candidate overturn or ignore a prior precedent issued by his or her court— or did he or she refuse to do so when other members of the court did)
