The facts

• Judges give out payments to lawyers who manage properties controlled by the court.

• The judges gave out $1.4 million in 43 cases that had 51 payments (some cases have multiple payments).

• One group of politically connected people got 8 payments, worth $762,000.

• This money came from only four cases (Judges selected group members to work on the most lucrative cases.​)

• Six of the payments, worth $599,892, came from just one judge. That judge gave out $760,000 in total.

The rules

• Your data shows each fee payment, whether it went to the group and which judge gave it.
