A Wiki resource is nothing without resourceful netizens willing to collect information, write, and edit. So why not join us today?

Make your circuit court judges your own by ensuring Judgepedia has complete information on the history and biographies of members of the circuit court in your home state. It's easy:

1. sign up
2. put up a short bio of yourself
3. go to the page you edit or write, start working
4. add the page to your Watchlist^[1]

If you have questions, email the webmaster (coordinator at judgepedia.org), and become part of the brains behind this encyclopedia. This is a work in progress, so thought and attention will make this a supremely useful site.

One thing to remember is that this site is not intended to be partisan. Though we hope to include articles on every aspect--and member-- of the American judicary, we recognize that this effort will only work if we can maintain a degree of objectivity. Entries should not be written and edited to convince a citizen to object--or support--a standing judge. They should be written to explain the judicial process, and the how and why of judicial rulings. That's enough.

You may or may not think that more citizen control is a good thing. But that is our focus, so we expect most participants to approve. Everyone involved will disagree with others on some issues. That's to be expected. One participant wants strict reporting requirements on every element of a case; another will regard this as an abridgement of free speech rights. But these disagreements shouldn't matter for the purposes of this online resource. We can all agree that understanding the ins and outs, and the importance of, the judicial branch is the primary objective. We can all agree to disagree about many things, but not about the need to put objective information first, and rhetoric . . . elsewhere.

Thank you for considering joining our efforts!
