Justice Leondra R. Kruger took her seat on the Court on January
5, 2015. Between that time and the end of 2020, she had voted in
precisely 200 civil cases. She has voted to affirm in only 63 of
those cases, or 31.5% of the total. She had voted to reverse in
full 95 times, for 47.5%. There are no clear time trends in those
totals.
Justice Kruger has cast split votes to affirm in part and
reverse/vacate/modify in part in 21 cases. She has voted to grant 3
times and to deny and vacate 2 times (each). Finally, she has cast
14 "other" votes, nearly all of them in certified
question appeals from the Ninth Circuit.
Join us back here next week as we continue our examination of
the Justices' voting records.
