Kevin L. Fair v. Continental Resources, et al.

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Nebraska, No. S-21-074 · judgment March 18, 2022

GVR'd · June 5, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, counsel who has filed here before, and a petition citing one or two dissents.
