By Liz Cutler G ates T he smoke billowed thickly around David Comstock ’88 and his fellow firefighters from the Western Reserve Fire District. “It was the one time I was inside a building and thought, ‘I’m not going to get out of here.’” They had entered the burning antique store with the unpleas­ ant task of searching for victims. It was a blustery winter night, and fire had already consumed the first floor of the building and was spreading into the upstairs apartments. “All of a sudden, fire was where we had come from and we couldn’t get out,” he recalls. Reacting with unwavering determi­ nation, he led the others through the dense smoke to a back exit, moments before the building collapsed. While Comstock finds the occasional brush with death just part of the job, it is also part of the attraction of being a volunteer firefighter. “The adrenaline rush you get by responding to a call is something you don’t feel sitting behind a desk,” the 1988 graduate of the College of Law told the ABA Journal in 1997. He also likes the instant gratification the avocation provides. “I know very few lawyers called by a client to solve a problem who can have the problem resolved in 15 minutes or half an hour,” he says. Admittedly, the feelings are no less satisfying, he adds, than helping a client in his role as a partner at Comstock, Springer, and Wilson Co., LPA. “I can just see my results a little faster.” The Youngstown attorney first experienced firefighting during college while working summers at a YMCA conference center in Hague, New York. One of his co-workers, the chief of the local volunteer department, encouraged him to give firefighting a try. Comstock, who was accomplished in rescue diving, eagerly joined, much to his parents’ dismay. All told, he spent five sum­ mer vacations helping the local department and often went on calls when he visited the area throughout the school year. When he entered law school at Ohio State, his passion for fighting fires cooled until his third year, when he joined the 'The adrenaline rush you get Upper Arlington Fire Department as a volunteer. “All the other students would run out to their law jobs or go to their intern­ by responding to a call is ships after class,” he recalls. “I would go ride a fire truck.” something you don't feel sitting behind a desk." — Dovid Comstock '88 COVER STORY One day on the way to class, he heard a call over the radio.

  • Targeting Inconsistency: the Why and How of Studying Disagreement in Adjudication*
    Targeting Inconsistency: The Why and How of Studying Disagreement in Adjudication* Ryan Copus† and Ryan Hübert‡ July 21, 2016 Abstract Much of the judicial decision making research has focused on inter-judge inconsistency. How much more likely is a panel of all Democratic appointees to decide in favor of civil rights plaintiffs than is a panel of all Republican appointees? How doesthe presence of a black judge on a panel affect the likelihood that an affirmative action plan will be found constitutional? How large are the inter-judge disparities in asylum grant rates? How inconsistent are social security disability decisions? But despite the attention paid to disagreement, the vast majority of research shares a peculiar feature: it ignores much of judicial disagreement. By coding decisions on a single dimension (e.g., liberal versus conservative or grant versus deny) and grouping judges according to demographic characteristics, researchers are mediating the study of inconsistency through intuitions about the nature of judicial disagreement. For reasons of both theory and policy, we argue for an agnostic, data-driven approach to the study of inconsistency. Using a newly collected dataset of appellate review in the Ninth Circuit, we show how machine-learning methods can help researchers make progress on previously identified challenges to the study of inconsistency. We also briefly discuss how our approach to inconsistency could be used to evaluate adjudication systems and changes to those systems as well as address debates between legal realists and formalists. DRAFT PREPARED FOR 2016 CONFERENCE ON EMPIRICAL LEGAL STUDIES *We thank participants at the 2016 meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association and the 2016 Political Economy and Public Law conference as well as Joy Milligan, Alan Kluegel, and Aaron Smyth for helpful comments.
