Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, No. 22-1473 · judgment June 7, 2023

Pre-decision estimate: 23% cert probability (95% interval 15%–34%)

Before the decision, about 5.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a First Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition.

Question presented
