Every attorney and judge in the records, on one page

What this page is. Public records, each with its source, retrieval time and file hash. It does not suggest or imply that any person or entity has engaged in illegal or improper conduct. Many people and entities have the same or similar names; open the source before relying on a match. Figures marked derived are computed from the records by the rule on the Method page and are not findings. Corrections.

Same rules applied to everyone. Pick a court and every court-specific column follows it: . "Cases before Judge Kristin Bays (284th)" counts an attorney's cases that sit in that court today; "expected share" is what their case mix would produce if it followed the county-wide distribution for those case types. Favorable rate is the direction proxy described on the Method page, over decided cases only.

Sort by observed − expected to see who appears in Judge Kristin Bays (284th) more than their own case mix predicts. A positive number is not a finding; it is the question to open the case list with.

"Decided, all courts pulled" needs each of the attorney's own case pages, which have been pulled for Bays and Cuellar so far (the rest are being pulled). The two right-hand columns come from the whole-court pull of the 457th and are filled for everyone who appears there; rates show at 10 or more decided cases. Attorneys listed here were pulled by name; this is not every lawyer in the county.

Every attorney of record before , 2021–2026

All 15,287 civil cases filed since 2021 that sit in this court, every attorney named in them, same direction proxy for everyone. This is the denominator the rows above are compared against: not a hand-picked set of lawyers, but the whole docket. derived Direction is a proxy read from the register of actions, not a finding of who won; see Method.
