Lawyers and law firms often do research on the judges hearing their cases to try to figure out how a judge will rule on a particular issue or what arguments they will find persuasive. This research can be simply biographical or more in depth, numbers based analysis of a judge's rulings and orders. Law students may also be interested in doing research on judges who are hiring clerks to determine if they are interested in working in that judge's chambers. This guide will point out the resources available at Mizzou Law for researching judges.
