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.

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.
