Trial-Courts-Ballotpedia.png
This page is part of the State Trial Courts WikiProject, a Judgepedia project dedicated to articles related to state trial courts and judges.


About the project

This project fell within the State Court Project and was designed to standardize court pages across the wiki.

Project goals

We will add the project components to each trial court page in all fifty states.

Components to add

Trial court badge

The template for this badge can be found at {{TCbadge}}. This step of the project should have been completed during the Badges WikiProject in January 2012.

Court infobox

Template:TC infobox
See Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, Ohio for an example.

Table of judges

Information on the table is forthcoming.

NOTE: Before a court has the new table added, all the judges serving on the court must have the infobox template on their pages.

See also section

All pages will include a See Also section. The purpose of this section is to recommend links in which readers may be interested. On trial court pages, see also sections can link an unlimited amount of pages. Below are the most common:

  • the county in which the court is located
  • the main branch of the state courts of which this court is a member
  • news articles Ballotpedia has written about the court
  • elections pages, if there are seats up for election this year
  • corresponding appointing governors' page if the governor has appointed a judge to that court
  • and more.
