Charge Authority Pack
In every criminal-defense filing on your charge type, the same handful of opinions get cited over and over. The prosecutor knows them. The judge has read them a hundred times. Most defendants never see the list.
The Top 10 Authorities Cited In Your Charge Type
Case name, citation, authority tier, pre-extracted canonical quote, and a 24-month citation-velocity arrow per row. Every row links to the CourtListener opinion you can verify yourself.
Top-cited authorities are aggregate frequencies. Use them to ask sharper questions, not to predict your case.

Generated on demand from indexed criminal court records — delivered on purchase.
Verified public sources: CourtListener appellate authorities × authority-quote extraction × 24-month citation-velocity tracking
What You Get
- Top 10 must-cite defense authorities for your charge type — case name, citation, and authority tier
- Pre-extracted canonical quote per authority — the exact sentence other defense filings have cited from each opinion
- Citation-velocity arrow per row — rising, stable, or fading over the last 24 months
- Every row links to the CourtListener opinion you can verify yourself — no row ships without a source URL
- When the charge type has zero rows in the charge-specific table, the report falls back to the national criminal-authority pool with the fallback called out clearly
- Methodology + UPL disclaimer on every section
- Top-cited authorities are aggregate frequencies. Use them to ask sharper questions, not to predict your case.

Why You Can Trust This Data
Every authority in your pack carries a CourtListener URL you can open and read in full. Pre-extracted quotes are verbatim from the opinion text — same sentence other defense filings have cited. Rows without a verifiable source URL are suppressed rather than rendered.
Authority-tier labels and citation counts are aggregated from charge_type_top_authorities (548 charge-specific rows) with a citation_authority_criminal national fallback when the charge slug has zero charge-specific rows. Citation-velocity arrows reflect a 24-month rolling window over the citation_velocity_criminal corpus. The Availability Checker on this page discloses the fallback before purchase when it applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three sections built from indexed criminal court records: (1) the top 10 must-cite defense authorities for your charge type, with case name, citation, and authority tier; (2) the pre-extracted canonical quote from each authority — the exact sentence defense filings have cited from that opinion; (3) a citation-velocity arrow per row showing whether the authority is rising, stable, or fading over the last 24 months. Every row links to CourtListener.
Indexed criminal court records aggregated into charge_type_top_authorities (548 charge-specific rows), authority_quotes_criminal (254 pre-extracted canonical quotes), and citation_velocity_criminal (1.13M velocity rows). Rows without a CourtListener source URL are suppressed — every cited case carries a verifiable URL.

Instantly on purchase. The report is generated on demand from the verified authority corpus and rendered to your email within 60 seconds.
Before checkout you will see how many charge-specific top-cited authorities back your charge type. When that count is zero, the report falls back to the 620,000-row national criminal-authority pool with the fallback called out on every section. The Availability Checker discloses the fallback before purchase so you can decide whether to buy or waitlist.
