Articles and Research Notes

Everything published, as a register rather than a reading list. The front page carries the same pieces with a line of description each; this page is for finding something you already know exists.

The three sections do not age at the same rate, which is worth knowing before trusting an older entry. The explainability material is conceptual and moves slowly. The litigation data material describes how court records behave, which changes only when a court changes its practice. The dataset guides age fastest, because they depend on federal and state agencies keeping their publication paths stable, and those agencies do not reliably do that. The checked column is the one to read first.

Nothing is retired off this register as it grows. An archive that hides its own history is harder to audit, and being auditable is most of what this publication is offering. If you would rather browse than search, our other work on court data puts the same pieces in the order they were written.
