John Doe 1, et al. v. Express Scripts, Inc., et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 18-346 · judgment December 7, 2020


Certiorari denied · June 27, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 15% cert probability (95% interval 11%–22%)

Before the decision, about 3.8× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Second Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a business respondent.
