Caseload & case types
In our data, George was assigned 3,294 district-court cases (1986–2017). Median time from filing to termination: 348 days across 3,189 closed cases.
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.
On appeal
Of 109 of George’s decisions reviewed on the merits by the U.S. courts of appeals in our data, 82 were affirmed, 17 reversed or vacated, and 10 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.
In our data, George authored 19 published opinions for the court (1986–2011). Most cited: United States v. Phungphiphadhana (33 citations).
A selective record from published opinions in the CourtListener corpus, not every ruling; most unpublished district orders are not included. Counts and rankings are objective and recomputable: how we count. We describe the record, not the judge.
