State Court Statistics, 2006
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 Project (CSP) 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 processing and dispositions in
state appellate and trial courts, and (3) appellate opinions. Within
each of these areas of state government investigation, cases are
separated by main case type, including civil cases, capital punishment
cases, other criminal cases, domestic relations cases, juvenile cases, traffic violations cases, and administrative agency appeals.
