Julie Green and Howard Cooper obtained
a complete affirmance from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit of a 2008 trial court victory in a case brought on behalf of Judge Leon A. Kendall of the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands against the judicial conduct commission of the Virgin Islands, called the Commission on Judicial Disabilities.
In my opinion, it's perfectly reasonable to focus on the cases in which the appellate decision actually came down (i.e., the
completed experiments), implicitly assuming that the
affirmance and reversal rates would have been more or less the same if all other decisions had been reviewed by the appeals court.
