State Court Statistics Series
Investigator(s): National Center for State Courts, Court Statistics and Information Management Project
This data collection provides comparable measures of
state appellate and trial court caseloads by type of case for the 50
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Court caseloads are
tabulated according to generic reporting categories developed by the Court
Statistics and Technology Committee of the Conference of State Court
Administrators. These categories describe differences in the unit of count
and the point of count when compiling each court's caseload. Major areas
of investigation include: (1) case filings in state appellate and trial
courts, (2) case dispositions in state appellate and trial courts, and
(3) appellate opinions. Within each of these areas of investigation, cases
are separated by main case type. Types include civil cases, capital
punishment cases, other criminal cases, juvenile cases, administrative
agency appeals, and several other types.
