Federal Court Cases: Integrated Data Base, 2012
The purpose of this data collection is to provide an official
public record of the business of the federal courts. The data
originate from district and appellate court offices throughout
the United States. Information was obtained at two points in
the life of appellate and civil cases: filing and
termination. The termination data (archived in this data
collection) contain information on both filing and
terminations, while the pending data (archived as a separate
data collection) contain only filing information on the most
recent pending cases. The unit of analysis for the appellate
and civil terminations data is the case. This collection also
contains data on criminal cases in federal courts. However, the
unit of analysis for the criminal data is the defendant, and a
defendant can be included in several cases.
