IS YOUR JUDGE ON THE TAKE?
Ten steps to research a judge’s finances with an eye to determining if he is dirty or not.
Ten Essential Steps
1) Check for name of your judge’s spouse
2) Check judge’s years on the bench
3) Request his mandated financial disclosure forms from the state
4) Look him (and spouse) up on County Grantor Grantee index
5) Make spreadsheet to show loans, amounts and time it took to pay them back
6) Check any business interests with Secretary of State to locate more information—business partners, status of business interest, etc. Then run these businesses through the County Grantor Grantee index.
7) Check courts to see if your judge’s name or name of business partners are attached to any case
8) Check courts to see if he sat on any cases involving business partners
9) Make public records act request for phone records (checking for ex parte communications with the other side)
10) Check with auditor’s office to see if judge (a state employee) is also receiving monies from the county (conflict of interest issue)

11) demand their SF 28
12) demand their anti bribery statement
🔵In case no one is aware of what a SF 28 form is, here it is: https://gsa.gov/system/files/2024-02/SF28-23a.pdf
The other things you can do is file open state records requests for their oaths and bond information to make sure that they are an actual judge in the first place. We found that several “judges” in Florida were NOT judges at all because they NEVER filed proper oaths and bonds in accordance with law.
