It's easy, and only takes a few moments.How we’re still even at this point knowing that fact defies logic, as Brady, as we know, never seems to request any rules to be broken throughout this entire investigation. Yet, here we are, months later, with this dragging on as Goodell continues his crusade to defeat the player who is running over opponents during New England’s first six games.
Consensus is that Berman is almost never overruled.Anyone got a concensus from legal experts on what Brady's or NFL's chances of winning are?
Pretty sure it is relevant when you tell the persons being investigated it is independent...
Here is the list of judges that sit in that court.

Coincidence. There is no way Paul friggin' Clement is using his opening brief to mock Kraft's throway comment. Neat bit of coincidental phrasing though.The word choice is interesting. Kraft called Goodell's ruling "unfathomable", now the NFL calls the judge's ruling "unfathomable". Coincidence or trolling? I have no idea how Kraft can be friendly with Goodell.
On average, without factoring in judges or specific cases, about 3%
According to @Deus Irae, Berman is overturned approximately 8 percent of the time, although I don't remember if the comment was for Berman specifically or just the second circuit altogether?
Either way, these statistics really don't matter since we just saw a federal judge overturn an arbitration decision with Brady, which had happened only 2/68 times in that district since 2006.
People have claimed slightly different rates for Berman, probably based upon the dates of their data sets, though I've always seen it called as less than 10% (Wallach, for example, has him at 13 reversals out of 138 appeals (9.4%) since 2006). Eight percent was what I first saw quoted, but followup led me to other percentages. The bottom line:
The 2nd circuit overall has a reversal rate of around 7.5%, according to most of what I've read, and Berman is apparently reversed slightly more often than that average.
It will depend upon the 3 judges they draw.
Yeah, it was too deep to comprehend....
