Former Gov. Roy Barnes' law firm has appeared at least 37 times before judges he named, winning clients hundreds of millions of dollars.

In one such case, decided last month, the Democratic governor hopeful's firm helped win a $459 million judgement.

Barnes didn't appear personally at the trial, but he appointed Marvin Arrington, one of the judges in the case. Official records show Arrington, a Superior Court judge in Atlanta, has contributed $2,000 to Barnes' current campaign.
