How these figures are calculated
Read the methodology
Computed nightly from the cases linked to this court in the JudgeFinder record and sourced case outcomes.
Every figure carries its sample size. Confidence tiers: insufficient (fewer than 30), low (30–99), medium (100–499), high (500 or more). Below the minimum a rate is not shown and the page says "Insufficient data".
Speed compares this court's median days from filing to closing with other courts at the same level (for example, federal district courts with each other). Courts are split into thirds: fast is the quickest third, slow the slowest third. A label needs 30+ closed cases here and 3+ comparable courts. Federal district courts also cite the official median from the U.S. Courts Federal Court Management Statistics.
Caseload counts linked docket entries by filing year and type; open means no closing date is recorded.
Outcome rates follow the same definitions as judge analysis pages.
