Your numbers look right to me. It's important to note that the % here
is the % of cases, whereas my 25% number is a % of data. It seems the
majority of cases in PACER are old cases for which they've only
digitized the dockets and not the documents, so they make up a large
percentage of the number of cases, but very little of the actual data.
So, for example, mad has 100,000 dockets but Justia reports that only
14K of them have real data
