Before your first filing in a district you don't know cold, see the USSC sentencing median for that district, computed over its own individual-offender rows with the case count behind it, plus the circuit motion baseline, the district's highest-volume judges, and the docket mix that tells you how cases move there. Every aggregate carries its denominator, and thin coverage is labeled rather than smoothed over. Then the brief turns those comparables into a filing: a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum that pulls this district's own median and case counts into the disparity argument, with the case-specific facts left as bracketed fields for you to complete, delivered as an editable DOCX.
“Researchers may find the Center's Integrated Database (IDB) of federal cases filed since 1970 useful.”
Every aggregate in the brief is pulled from the federal government's own sentencing and docket datafiles for the district you name, not a national average or an estimate. Each figure carries the count of cases behind it and cites the datafile it came from.
The U.S. Attorney's office tries cases in this district every week and knows its sentencing patterns cold.
That same district's own USSC and docket record, assembled and source-cited, so an out-of-district filing reads like local knowledge.
Federal sentencing outcomes by district and charge family, used for the district's own sentencing median and the § 3553(a)(6) comparables.
Each aggregate carries its case-count denominator
Verify the sourceFederal court case records used for district docket mix and the judge caseload roster, ranked by case volume.
Docket counts shown with their denominator
Verify the sourceDocket and opinion records used for the circuit motion baseline across all charges and for judge identity resolution.
Motion outcomes reported against their baseline denominator
Verify the sourceAggregate public-record data only. No judge is rated or predicted; where a district's coverage is thin it is labeled a gap rather than smoothed over.
Every figure traces to the public record above. Not internet research. Each source carries a URL you can open and confirm; where a source excludes part of the picture, that exclusion is named rather than smoothed over.
Source-backed preview
Resolve district codes into court names, circuits, and CourtListener court identifiers before any aggregate row is rendered.
Show district-level judge roster and docket-volume context while withholding judge-specific outcome conclusions unless source-backed.
Separate criminal docket share from civil docket volume so counsel can evaluate whether local judicial experience supports a factual premise.
Present circuit-level motion counts as appellate-direction context with denominator labels rather than case-specific outcome claims.
Render district-level sentencing medians and prison-rate aggregates only with fiscal-year range, denominator, and source vintage.
Hand counsel a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum that pulls this district's own median and case counts into the disparity argument, with the case-specific facts left as bracketed fields, anchored to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), Gall, and Kimbrough.
Keep most-assigned-prosecutor claims out of public output until attorney-role records support them by district.
Display source-backed gaps when a district lacks enough rows for a defensible aggregate instead of filling the section with unsourced narrative.
Checkout opens once every district row carries source URLs, denominator labels, jurisdiction labels, quote context, fallback disclosure, and gap review.
Every district has a free page of aggregate federal sentencing and court data, drawn from the USSC datafiles with each figure cited to its underlying record. Find yours by circuit.
The preview above shows the district intelligence. At launch, the brief turns those aggregates into a filing: this district's own comparables, with their denominators, built into a drafted § 3553(a)(6) sentencing-position memorandum, the position drafted for you rather than the data left for you to assemble.
What the brief assembles
Each line is a deliverable in the brief: the research you would otherwise pull from USSC, FJC, and CourtListener by hand, per case.
