Your research could include:
- the background and education of the judge,
- how the judge was selected for the court in which he or she presides,
- the training of the judge,
- challenges the judge has faced in his or her career (this could involve a particular case that was a challenge), recent cases, or
- your opinion whether this judge was adequately prepared for the position.
