Re:Why Law Firm Rankings Are Useless by andrewfong on Thursday September 15, 2016 @03:37PM (#12509138)
What do you count as a "court judgment" and how are they evaluated? Are, for instance, a successful motion to dismiss and a jury decision for the defendant weighed equally? Or do you give higher weight to the motion to dismiss since that's usually a better outcome for the defendant than making it to trial?

And do you look at motions other than actual judgments? I.e. if Firm A wins a motion to suppress some piece of evidence and then there's a subsequent settlement, we should infer that Firm A "won" the case, even if there's no judgment to that effect.
