Civil Justice Survey of State Courts, 1996
In 1996, the Bureau of Justice Statistics awarded a grant
to the National Center for State Courts to gather detailed information
on tort, contract, and real property rights trial cases in 45
jurisdictions chosen to represent the 75 most populous counties in the
nation. The result is this survey, which is a systematic examination
of civil trial cases disposed in state general jurisdiction
courts. The study expands the 1992 civil jury study, CIVIL JUSTICE
SURVEY OF STATE COURTS, 1992 (ICPSR 6587), by
specifically sampling bench and jury trial cases. Information gathered
includes the type of case, the presence of legal representation, the
type of litigation, the amount of compensatory damages awarded, the
amount of punitive damages awarded, and case processing time.
