Does anyone know of any political watchdog group that might keep track of how many cases have been overturned against one judge?

Try calling the League of Women Voters. They'll know, or know who to call. Oh, and btw, a reversal of a trial by jury can't really be considered "overturned against one judge," right?

I'm guessing if there were an abnormal amount of objections overruled or sustained for one side or another, then it could be. That, or not allowing certain evidence in that should've been. I'm sure there are many other things that much smarter people than myself can think of as well.

Yeah, you're right. I guess an appeal must first convince an appellate court that there was a reversable error before even being granted the appeal, much more having it reversed.
