Case assignment is from CourtListener’s PACER-derived docket records: a partial sample, not a complete caseload, reflecting the judge last assigned each case. How we count.

Of 323 of Johnson’s decisions reviewed on the merits by the U.S. courts of appeals in our data, 247 were affirmed, 38 reversed or vacated, and 38 affirmed in part and reversed in part. This is a historical count of appellate outcomes for cases we could match, not a judgment of the judge, and not a complete record. How we count.
