## How to read these figures

- A judge code identifies the assigned judge; these records do not prove who decided each application.
- Courts are shown separately and never pooled.
- A recorded grant share is grants divided by grants plus denials; other outcomes are outside the denominator.
- Past records do not predict an individual case.
