Table Variables

The table has the name of each judge currently working or that has worked in a district court, the earliest appointed date being 1946-01-03. Numopencases is the number of open cases a judge has a in his or her district court. Numcaseshere is the number of open and terminated cases a judge has presided over in the district court specified. Totnumcases is the total number of cases a judge has presided over. Totnumcases may exceed numcaseshere if the judge has transferred from another district court. The date the judge was appointed and retired are also given. The judge's circuit and district are also specified under circuit and court respectively.

Table Purpose

In conjunction with the litigation data, the LexJudge Table may be used to monitor district court activity for the Little Guy Academic Paper and the Patent Troll Academic Paper. If matched with particular cases, trends in a particular judge's case outcomes may be developed and analyzed for use in the Patent Troll Academic Paper or Issue Brief.

Current Problems

There are duplicate entries for certain judges that may be dropped once data on patent litigation has been added.
