Civil Justice Survey of State Courts, 1992
This survey is the first broad-based, systematic
examination of the nature of civil litigation in state general
jurisdiction trial courts. Data collection was carried out by the
National Center for State Courts with assistance from the National
Association of Criminal Justice Planners and the United States Bureau
of the Census. The data collection produced two datasets. Part 1,
Tort, Contract, and Real Property Rights Data, is a merged sample of
approximately 30,000 tort, contract, and real property rights cases
disposed during the 12-month period ending June 30, 1992. Part 2,
Civil Jury Cases Data, is a sample of about 6,500 jury trial cases
disposed over the same time period. Data collected include information
about litigants, case type, disposition type, processing time, case
outcome, and award amounts for civil jury cases.
