Reader’s notes
p. 220. 18 columns: stub, then All C cases (Number / Percent of total closed / Percent of total method), followed by CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG and CP cases, each with Number and Percent of total closed. In the row "Total number of cases closed", the "Percent of total method" cell for All C cases prints a short dash rule ("--"); it is transcribed as an empty cell per the dash-rule convention. The caption marks this as "Page 1 of 2", so the table continues on the following page; the body here ends with "Supreme Court action" and the two footnotes are printed on this page. The caption's own footnote marker (1) and the "Page 1 of 2" line are omitted as instructed; the heading "CD cases" carries footnote marker 2, kept as "CD cases^2". All printed figures are internally consistent (component rows sum to their subtotals and the eight case-type Number columns sum to the All C cases column), so no misprints are suspected. Apostrophes in "judge's" are printed as typographic right single quotes; transcribed as plain apostrophes.
p. 221. Page 2 of 2 of Table 7; the crop is complete (caption, both footnotes and all body rows are present) but the table continues from a previous page, so no grand-total row appears here. Grid is 18 columns: stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven panels of two columns each (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), each Number and Percent of total closed. These are stacked column groups of one table, not side-by-side panels. Dash cells: in the "Percent of total method" column, the last two rows ("10(k) actions…" and "Otherwise (compliance…)") print a short double-hyphen rule "--" rather than a number; per the transcription rule for dash rules these are given as "". No other cell in that column is blank. The superscript 2 on the "CD cases" column heading is recorded as a footnote marker (CD cases^2); the superscript 1 on the caption year is omitted with the caption. Apostrophes in "administrative law judge's" are printed as typographic apostrophes in most rows and as a straight apostrophe in "After administrative law judge's decision, before Board decision"; all are transcribed as a plain apostrophe. Hyphenated line breaks repaired: "dis-/positions" -> "dispositions". The em dash in "achieved—firm went out of business" is as printed. No cells were illegible.
