The Lenses · Four ways into one dataset

One index. Four lenses. Whatever angle the case calls for.

By department

Read the bench

Every probate department CM03 through CM08, every motion type, every ruling. See how a judge actually rules — not how they’re said to rule.

By firm

Read the bar

Win/loss tallies, motion-type strengths, repeat-player patterns. Know who you’re up against before the hearing.

By attorney

Read the brief

Cited statutes, characteristic arguments, judges who tend to rule for them. The bar’s public reputation, organized.

By motion

Read the precedent

Filter every ruling on a specific motion type. See the language that lands and the language that doesn’t.
