Term 2 (2025–Present) Term 1 (2017–2021)

Methodology

Judges included here have been identified through case trackers and reporting (Just Security Litigation Tracker, Lawfare, Brennan Center Shadow Docket Tracker, Wikipedia's "Legal affairs of the [first/second] Trump presidency," and direct news reporting). Appointing president, confirmation details, and case rulings are sourced individually per entry — see "Sources" under each name. No claim is published without a citation. If you find an error or have a correction with sourcing, flag it before this is published further.
