How the process worksCounsel appear at a set point in a published sequence. Open this for the short version of that sequence.

A contested case follows a published path: a Statement of Reasons, the government's written list of its concerns (an SOR), a written answer, a hearing or a decision on the written record, the judge's decision, and in some cases an appeal.

Read the stages of a DOHA case · Ask a question about the process

Names come from the decisions themselves. Counsel appear only where the published decision names them, and an outcome belongs to the whole case rather than to any one participant. Descriptive of decided public cases, never a prediction, a ranking, or advice. The judges who decided these cases are in the judge directory.

Outcome analytics by counsel is part of Professional.

189 counsel records in the published hearing record

It opens the outcome record with its denominators, how those cases fared before the Appeal Board, and the full list of previous decisions.
