Lawyer here -- I came up with an idea to allow lawyers to review and rate judges years ago when I started out in insurance defense. Eventually built it (legalclimate.com) but never could figure out how to create interest in it. Maybe it's just a bad idea, no product market fit and all that. Law is a weird and fickle business. It's way behind the rest of professions as far as technology goes, and is still mired in tradition, for better or worse. Judges are very biased no matter how neutral they seem. I have not been able to accurately predict whether I will win a motion. I can think I've got the law and facts on my side, only to lose to a whiny opponent. I don't whine to judges and I've watched many lawyers do that. In my experience blow hard whiny lawyers seem to get their way. I just can't be like that though. The public has a poor understanding of the inner workings of law practice and the courts. Some of that is from TV and dumb books, but a lot of that is due to the "black box" aspect of the courts. Everything is sort of done in secret and without transparency. I had hoped to change that with my idea but it didn't work.
