CONTRIBUTE TO THE RECORD
Case Intake
A voluntary, anonymous intake for people and families with direct experience of a federal criminal case.
Advocacy runs on stories. Legislation runs on data. Case Intake is where we turn direct experience into a record that can move both.
Submissions are anonymous by default. We ask a small set of factual questions — nothing about guilt, and nothing that identifies a specific defendant, prosecutor, judge, or district unless you choose to share it. Aggregate answers feed the Economic Impact Study; individual entries are never published without written consent.
Please do not submit information about a pending case if you are represented by counsel. Talk to your attorney first.
What This Means
Anonymous by default
You control what identifying details, if any, are attached to your entry.
Factual, not adjudicative
We collect procedural facts — length, discovery denials, financial impact — not opinions about the underlying charges.
Feeds the study
Aggregated answers become the safe stat set that underwrites our filings, briefings, and media.
You can opt in later
Even after an anonymous submission, you can later authorize named quotation, an interview, or story development.
