I don't have the data with me, but I do remember seeing a lot of triple digits and high double digits for the cases in categories. For <em>all</em> cases, the numbers were in the hundreds and thousands (since the data is almost over 2 decades). It's probably also worth noting that only judges who had at least 20 cases in a given category are shown in the histogram while the overall medians include all judges for all the cases in the respective category.

What would you say was the median number of cases tried by judges? It’s kind of alarming to see so much sentencing variation between judges.
