Spreadsheets

The decisions in the mandamus and agency-delay group, and the suits in the docket record, as CSV files that open in any spreadsheet program. Each decision row carries its court, judge, dates, agency, forms, disposition and prevailing party, with links to its page here and to the full decision. Rebuilt every night.

2,914 written decisions from 2,661 cases in the whole mandamus and agency-delay group, the group's newest decided October 30, 2026. Updated November 3, 2026 at 1:24 a.m. CT; the Passim connector counts the live collection, which can differ by the day's additions and retirements (which total to quote). Coverage: of the 1,606 public decisions since January 1, 2025 that a CourtListener and GovInfo search for mandamus and agency delay finds, Passim holds 1,371 (85%), measured November 3, 2026. Some of what that search finds are not mandamus decisions. Tell us about a decision we're missing.

These are counts of past written decisions and dockets, not predictions of how any case will be decided. A distribution appears only when at least 5 decisions (or 5 dockets) are behind it; smaller groups are listed, not summarized. How it's counted.

All 2,914 decisions. The decision list and the suit list also download whatever they show after filtering. The same rows as JSON, and the search API, are on the data page.
