Case Metadata & Related Links on Ruling Pages

On every one of our pages (including tentative rulings), you’ll find valuable case metadata for the case that the filed Document, Ruling, or Docket page relates to. 

  • Wherever you see a link to a judge, clicking the link will bring you to the Judge’s Biography and/or Judge Analytics.  
  • Wherever you see a link to a case number, clicking the link will bring you to the court Docket for the case.  
  • Wherever you see a link to a party name (which includes individual litigants as well as their attorneys), clicking the link will run a search for this party across the jurisdiction you have selected.  Clicking on a party will help you find any other litigation the party has been involved in, both historically and pending.
