Note #1: the demographic characteristics for many litigants is unknown. Which is why the “all” row doesn’t quite measure up to the sum of the individual pieces (see tables [above]).Additional: These numbers can be further analyzed by:
(a) case type;
(b) charge (eg, age, col, etc.);
(c) determination impact; (ie, 'cause' vs 'no cause')
(d) legal representation; (ie, 'with attorney' vs 'without attorney')
(e) retaliation impact (ie, 'with' vs 'without' [retaliation]); and
(f) year;
