Predicted outcomes

A prediction counts as correct only where the disposition it named matches the one the Court entered. A partial call — affirm in part where the Court affirmed in full — counts as a miss.

Predictions are published alongside the real opinion once one issues, so the record of how they held up stays public. They are not legal advice and carry no weight with the Court.
