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

Judge caseload aggregate
Show district-level judge roster and docket-volume context while withholding judge-specific outcome conclusions unless source-backed.
Criminal docket fraction
Separate criminal docket share from civil docket volume so counsel can evaluate whether local judicial experience supports a factual premise.
Circuit motion baseline
Present circuit-level motion counts as appellate-direction context with denominator labels rather than case-specific outcome claims.
USSC district sentencing aggregate
Render district-level sentencing medians and prison-rate aggregates only with fiscal-year range, denominator, and source vintage.
Prosecutor-assignment coverage
Keep most-assigned-prosecutor claims out of public output until attorney-role records support them by district.
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.
Manual review before release
Checkout opens once every district row carries source URLs, denominator labels, jurisdiction labels, quote context, fallback disclosure, and gap review.
