What Professional adds to your practice
Find the decisions that look like your client’s
Similar-decision analysis on every case, ranked by how closely the allegations match. Professional shows the full ranked list, favorable and unfavorable, not just the top three.
Search the record →Know the judge before the hearing
How the assigned Administrative Judge has actually ruled: grant rates in the reliable window, guideline-by-guideline patterns, hearing versus written record, and the mitigation they credited.
Judge directory →Research counsel history
Who appeared in the matched cases, for both sides: Department Counsel patterns and the attorneys applicants hired, with outcomes.
Counsel directory →See how appeals really go
Every appeal linked to its hearing decision, with an at-a-glance appeal profile: who appealed, on what issues, and what the Appeal Board did.
Appeal patterns →Keep research organized by matter
Matters hold pinned decisions, notes, and a copyable citation list per client. Export case tables and comparison memos to Word with every source cited.
Matters →Never miss a new decision
Saved searches with email alerts when new decisions match your criteria, plus side-by-side comparison of up to five cases with an explain-the-differences memo.
Compare cases →A sample workflow, start to finish
One example: a client brings you an SOR with financial considerations and personal conduct concerns (Guidelines F and E, the two most common in the record). The workflow is identical for any of the 13 adjudicative guidelines, in any combination.
- Find the analogs. Search decisions charged under the same guideline set and filter by outcome. Open any case and Professional ranks every similar decision in the record, exactly matched or sharing any concern.
- Split favorable from unfavorable. Compare up to five analogs side by side, aligned issue by issue, and generate an explain-the-differences memo for the file.
- Check the judge. Open the assigned judge’s profile: their grant rates on cases like yours, guideline by guideline, hearing versus written record, and which mitigating conditions they have credited.
- Inspect appeal treatment. See how the Appeal Board has handled similar grants and denials, and who appealed what.
- Export for the file. Pin the analogs to the client’s matter, then export a cited case table and comparison memo to Word for your response or hearing prep.
Verify before you buy. The public record is free to search and read, including every decision, case page, and original PDF, and the judge and counsel directories.
