Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  16. Judge's Docket Entry On July 21, 2023, the Court conducted a status conference hearing to deal with multiple issues. Court determined that we do not know how much money should be authorized now to provide the current necessities of this one of three children, and how much current spending will leave too little money for the children when they reach the age of 18. There are no social security survivor benefits for the children, and there will not be any in the future. There is currently a very significant amount of income for music royalties, and it is expected that we will continue to receive substantial music royalties for the next year or so, but we do not know how much longer we will receive additional income, and how much that income will be. Court determined and instructed that $3,500.00 per month will be provided to the mother of each child for the next six-to-nine months, and that matters will be reviewed again at that time. Court anticipated authorizing grandmother of children to distribute some of the jewelry that belonged to Melvin Noble to his children (her grandchildren) as the grandchildren attained the age of sixteen, if the mothers of each of the children could agree on a division of the jewelry. Court later found out that the intention of the grandmother was to deliver jewelry worth a great deal more money than was realized at the initial discussion of this issues (perhaps as much as $100,000.00). Court intended to authorize distribution of jewelry having a value of no more than $2,500.00 per child. Additional compensation to Nicole Noble was discussed. The parties did not agree that compensation should be authorized. Court declared that issue of compensation would be dealt with if Nicole Noble filed a motion and scheduled a hearing. Court would likely approve agreed compensation if Executor and all heirs (through their parent) agreed and approved. Judge Weldon Copeland

Additional time is necessary for the parties to gather information and to prepare to give input on these issues. A hearing for that purpose was scheduled for July 10, 2024. Additionally, the parties were informed that the first paragraph on page 3 of the Order Directing Monthly Distributions is to be modified to provide that the Trustee may make additional discretionary distributions over and above the minimum distribution of $3,500.00 per month, as the Trustee may determine to be appropriate.
