Source: CourtListener opinion clusters, dispositions classified into outcomes (rules-based, ~95% coverage). This is appellate data — it describes whether lower-court rulings were affirmed or reversed, not who wins at trial. Coverage varies by state, and a single court's practice shifts over time. Figures are descriptive statistics about the historical record — not a prediction about any specific appeal. Check your local rules. Not legal advice.
