Scout is confident that Atticus will win the trial in "To Kill a Mockingbird". She believes in her father and in his ability to prove Tom Robinson's innocence. Despite the odds stacked against him, Scout maintains her faith in Atticus throughout the trial.
Atticus stood up for a black man in court in a racist town, even though he knew that he would not win. (Atticus is a lawyer, if you didn't know.)

To Kill A Mockingbird
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Tom Robinson is incorrectly convicted of raping Mayella Ewell. Despite strong evidence supporting his innocence, racial prejudice prevails in the trial, leading to his unjust conviction and subsequent death. The verdict exposes the deep-seated racism and injustice prevalent in the town of Maycomb.
Atticus is reelected as the sheriff of Maycomb in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Despite facing racial prejudice and backlash for defending Tom Robinson in court, his integrity and sense of justice win over the town's respect, leading to his reelection.
Yes, in 1961 for To Kill A Mockingbird
He was a mad dog. Atticus shot him and then Scout and Jem found out that their dad was "One-Shot Finch." The dog represents racism and Atticus shooting him represents Atticus trying to bring down racism. The fact that Atticus was a "little to the right" alludes to the fact that Atticus will not win the case with Tom Robinson.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Bob Ewell is furious and seeks revenge against Atticus Finch and his family after the verdict is announced. He holds a grudge against them for making him look bad in court and is motivated by anger and hatred.
No, not at all; instead, Atticus fears the racism in town will prevent justice. He rests on his principles and beliefs in right and wrong. He uses logic, and trusting Tom when Tom insists on lines of questioning. He hopes for a not guilty verdict... but he could not be certain of it happening even though he believed Tom.
The Reverend did not expect Atticus to win the case because he understood the deep-rooted racism in the community and believed that the jury would not rule in favor of a black man, regardless of the evidence presented. The Reverend's lack of faith in the justice system and society's prejudices influenced his expectations for the trial's outcome.
This is all from memory and may be unreliable as a result, but I believe Atticus goes into the case with the expectation that he will lose, as he is aware of the weight of the prejudice acting against Tom Robinson. During the actual court case itself it would appear that Tom is innocent and Atticus is likely to win but this is only based on modern perspective of the events in the book. The jury's verdict is surprising in light of this.
