Keith M. Krupka, et al. v. Stifel Nicolaus & Co., Inc.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, No. 23-8004 · judgment June 9, 2023
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eighth Circuit decision below, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.
