Field | Description ------|------------- Name | Name of the case Date | Date of decision Federal Reporter Citation | Case citation, as listed in the Federal Reporter Series Westlaw Citation | Case citation, Westlaw format Issue | Issue number, in cases divided into multiple issues Weight | Weight per issue (total weight per case equals one) Judge1 | Name of first judge Judge2 | Name of second judge Judge3 | Name of third judge Vote1 | Vote of first judge. 1 = liberal, 0 = conservative. Vote2 | Vote of second judge. 1 = liberal, 0 = conservative. Vote3 | Vote of third judge. 1 = liberal, 0 = conservative. Category | Category of case, immigration or discrimination

Note: In immigration cases, partial relief to immigration petitioner is coded as liberal because the petitioner typically seeks just one core remedy (e.g., withholding of removal, adjustment of status, or asylum); in discrimination cases, partial relief is coded as multiple issues because the plaintiff often seeks separate remedies under multiple claims (e.g., disparate treatment, retaliation, etc.) and different sources of law.
