District Recon

Before your first filing in a district you don't know cold, see the USSC sentencing aggregate for your charge family there against the national and circuit baselines, is this district running hotter or cooler?, plus the full judge roster and the docket mix that tells you how cases like yours actually move. Every aggregate carries its denominator, and thin coverage is labeled rather than smoothed over. Then the brief turns those comparables into a filing: a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum that pulls this district's own median and case counts into the disparity argument, with the case-specific facts left as bracketed fields for you to complete, delivered as an editable DOCX.

“Researchers may find the Center's Integrated Database (IDB) of federal cases filed since 1970 useful.”

Preview how a query gets built for this product. Nothing renders as a finding until it traces to a source record and clears review, so what reaches a paid brief is verifiable, not guessed.

District modules

District identity

Canonical federal district lookup

Resolve district codes into court names, circuits, and CourtListener court identifiers before any aggregate row is rendered.

Judge roster

Judge caseload aggregate

Show district-level judge roster and docket-volume context while withholding judge-specific outcome conclusions unless source-backed.

Docket mix

Criminal docket fraction

Separate criminal docket share from civil docket volume so counsel can evaluate whether local judicial experience supports a factual premise.

Motion outcomes

Circuit motion baseline

Present circuit-level motion counts as appellate-direction context with denominator labels rather than case-specific outcome claims.

Sentencing aggregates

USSC district sentencing aggregate

Render district-level sentencing medians and prison-rate aggregates only with fiscal-year range, denominator, and source vintage.

Sentencing position

Drafted sentencing-position memo

Hand counsel a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum that pulls this district's own median and case counts into the disparity argument, with the case-specific facts left as bracketed fields, anchored to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), Gall, and Kimbrough.

Coverage gaps

Prosecutor-assignment coverage

Keep most-assigned-prosecutor claims out of public output until attorney-role records support them by district.

Coverage limits

Thin-coverage handling

Display source-backed gaps when a district lacks enough rows for a defensible aggregate instead of filling the section with unsourced narrative.

Before checkout

Manual review before release

Checkout opens once every district row carries source URLs, denominator labels, jurisdiction labels, quote context, fallback disclosure, and gap review.

The preview is free · the brief is the work

What the $197 brief assembles.

The preview above shows the district intelligence. At launch, the brief turns those aggregates into a filing: this district's own comparables, with their denominators, built into a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum, the position drafted for you rather than the data left for you to assemble.

What the brief assembles

The district data, assembled into a filing.

Each line is a deliverable in the brief: the research you would otherwise pull from USSC, FJC, and CourtListener by hand, per case.

  1. USSC district sentencing aggregate vs. the national + circuit baselineThis district's median and prison-rate on your charge family, each figure carrying its denominator: the number you actually want walking into a district you don't know cold
  2. Drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandumThis district's own median and case counts already pulled into the disparity argument, anchored to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), Gall, and Kimbrough, with the case-specific facts left as bracketed fields. The position is drafted, not just the data displayed
  3. Full judge roster + criminal-docket mixThe district's judge roster and the criminal share of its docket, so you can weigh whether local judicial experience supports your factual premise
  4. Circuit motion baselineCircuit-level motion counts as appellate-direction context, with the denominator behind each rate rather than a bare percentage
  5. Coverage Gap Ledger + Source AppendixWhere a district's coverage is thin it is labeled a gap, not smoothed over, and every aggregate ties back to its USSC / FJC / CourtListener source record
Assemble by handUSSC + FJC + CourtListener data, per case
