Posted by Jonathan Adler: What Should a Judge's Reversal Rate Be? http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_24-2009_05_30.shtml#1243447150
[1]Dave Hoffman thinks "we have no idea what an appropriate reversal rate for an appellate judge ought to be." I am not sure I would go quite that far, but I certainly agree with him that "An appellate judge�s 'reversal statistic' tells you less than you think about the 'merits' of her opinions, or even how such opinions stacked up against governing Supreme Court precedent."
