About This Trend
Judges are government officials who preside over courts, making rulings on cases and interpreting the law.
Judges are currently trending due to several high-profile cases, including a federal judge approving a $2.8B settlement in a college athlete compensation case and a judge overseeing the trial of Lori Vallow Daybell. Additionally, there have been notable appointments and tragic events involving judges, such as the passing of Judge Laurie A. Fontaine.
