The signature feature

The judiciary as a connected web

Appointed by

Every judge links to the president who appointed them, and out to PolitiFinder.

Confirmed by

Each confirmation links to the senators who voted, by name.

Succeeded / preceded

FJC seat IDs chain each judge to who came before and after in the same seat.

Attended

A shared law school links classmates across the whole bench.

See it on any judge. Each judge page opens an “Explore from here” rail of these connections, and every judge has a connections graph. Try Sonia Sotomayor’s, or start from the Supreme Court.
