Which judge wrote the most opinions?
January 14, 2008
Reporter Brendan Kearney sorted through opinion after opinion last week, hoping to reveal the state appellate judges with the most “pen power.” What resulted are two sets of information, one on the Court of Special Appeals, another on the Court of Appeals (both PDFs). If you’re curious about the contributions of retired judges or the differences in reported vs. unreported opinions, look no further.
But remember, as Court of Appeals Judge Joseph F. Murphy Jr. pointed out to Brendan, “The input that the other … judges provide to the judge who ultimately signs the opinion can’t really be defined by a statistical analysis.”
