• This is meaningfully lower than the rate for non-black litigants (6%)
• However, it’s marginally higher than the global average (3%) (see "Note #1" [below]).
• This is noticeably higher than the rate for non-black litigants (56%)
• Plus, it’s tremendously higher than the global average (40%) (see "Note #1" [below]).
• This is lower than the rate for non-black litigants (17%).
• Plus, it’s significantly lower than the global average (25%) (see "Note #1" [below]).
• Black plaintiffs face worse legal outcomes than their non-black counterparts (worse probabilities for: victories, losses, settlements, and so on).

Additional: These numbers can be further analyzed by:
(a) case type;
(b) charge (eg, age, col, etc.);
(c) determination impact; (ie, 'cause' vs 'no cause')
(d) legal representation; (ie, 'with attorney' vs 'without attorney')
(e) retaliation impact (ie, 'with' vs 'without' [retaliation]); and
(f) year;
