Unreleased¶

Computed the Judicial Common Space score of every appointment of a federal judge who served since 1953 (the first year of Epstein et al.'s study), from the Federal Judicial Center's Biographical Directory, Voteview's DW-NOMINATE scores, the dates of senators' service, and the Martin-Quinn scores
Saved the scores in a spreadsheet with both of the center's numbers for each judge (nid and jid)
Checked the scores against the published JCS scores of circuit judges and justices and Christina Boyd's scores of district judges
Added the judicial-common-space command
Found the home states of circuit judges whose careers show none from their duty stations in Wikipedia's articles on the courts of appeals, and added the duty_station column
Added --use-published, which uses Epstein et al.'s or Boyd's score where it differs from the computed one by more than 0.05 (--published-threshold), and the computed_jcs and jcs_source columns
Explained every score that differs from the published ones by more than 0.05 in the README
Removed private names from the modules' documentation
Added citations to Boyd, Epstein et al., and Giles et al. and a CITATION.cff
