Frequently asked questions

A report describes the documented historical range of outcomes for a charge in a jurisdiction — drawn from the public court record, structured, and presented in plain language with the methodology included. It shows what the record shows across many past cases.

A report is descriptive: it organizes outcomes that were already part of the public record. It does not describe any individual person or case.

No. CaseParity publishes court statistics — data, not advice. A report does not predict any result, recommend any strategy, evaluate any individual case, or tell you what to do. For guidance about a specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.

A report is a plain-language, sourced summary of the documented outcome range for a charge in a jurisdiction. It is a one-time purchase, available to anyone.

Analytics is a live subscription add-on for attorneys — an interactive screen for exploring the documented record across charges, courthouses, and (where the data permits) judges in the jurisdictions you cover. A downloadable spreadsheet export of that data is coming soon.

A report opens with a plain-language summary of the documented outcome range for the charge in that jurisdiction, then lays out the supporting detail: the distribution of outcomes across many past cases, the named source(s) the data was drawn from, a data-as-of date, the methodology version, and — for the time period a case involves — the version of the statute text that was in effect. It is delivered as a PDF. A sample report is available on request.

CaseParity takes no position on admissibility, relevance, or use in any proceeding; whether and how to use a report is a decision for you and any attorney you consult. A report describes the documented public record — it is not legal advice and does not predict any outcome.

No. CaseParity does not support looking up a person or an individual case. The only inputs are charge, county, and date — never a name. There is no person lookup of any kind.

Most jurisdictions anonymize records before release; where a source instead transmits identifying fields — as Harris County, Texas does — CaseParity strips them on ingest. Either way, no individual is identified in the published data.

Yes. Most jurisdictions anonymize records at the source before release — Florida under F.S. § 900.05 / § 943.6871; Cook County via the CCSAO Public Domain dataset; Virginia via the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission’s anonymized release. Harris County, Texas instead transmits records that still contain identifying fields, which CaseParity strips on ingest before any downstream use. In every case the published report contains no names, addresses, Social Security numbers, or case numbers, and no consumer report about any identifiable person is produced.

No. Reports describe documented outcome ranges for a charge in a jurisdiction across many past cases. They are not about any identifiable person, and no consumer report about any individual is generated.

From named government sources — the public court record. For example, Cook County data comes from the CCSAO Public Domain dataset, and Florida data comes from the state’s criminal-justice data. Each report records the named source(s) it was drawn from.

Every report records a data-as-of date — the date through which the underlying record was current when the report was generated — along with the named sources and the methodology version. That provenance is shown on the report and carried into any export, so the figures can always be traced back to the record.

CaseParity can only report what each jurisdiction makes available. The fields and level of detail vary by source — for example, whether trial and plea outcomes are distinguished, or whether the judge is identified. Reports vary by jurisdiction accordingly, and the report degrades gracefully where a field is not provided. We publish where the data exists in accessible form and where statutes permit.

No. Documented variation in the public record is a measurement, not a cause. Outcomes reflect many interacting factors — offense characteristics, criminal history, plea agreements, charging decisions, and others not captured in structured records. CaseParity shows the variation; it asserts no cause and takes no position on any sentence, case, or judge.

You can buy a single report or a subscription. A single purchase covers one report; a subscription covers reports across the jurisdictions open to you. Purchase availability is set per jurisdiction — and in Texas, per county — so some jurisdictions are open for consumer purchase and others are attorney-only.

A single report purchase includes a 6-month update window — you can re-pull the same report as the underlying record changes during that period. A subscription includes 4 reports per month, counted from your signup date, for as long as it is active. Each updated report records its own data-as-of date and provenance.

A single report comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee; an attorney Pro subscription comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee from the first charge. To start a refund, email support. The full refund policy is in Terms §5.

Analytics is a live subscription add-on for verified attorneys. It requires the base attorney subscription and opens an interactive screen for exploring the documented record across charges, courthouses, and (where the data permits) judges in the jurisdictions you cover. A downloadable spreadsheet export of that data is coming soon.
