Trial court caseload data
The dashboards aggregate the caseloads of the three basic types of state trial courts — single-tiered, general jurisdiction, and limited jurisdiction — to make caseloads as comparable as possible at the national level.
Appellate court caseload data
Appellate courts review cases appealed from trial courts, intermediate appellate courts (in states with a two-tiered structure), and administrative agencies. They preside over original proceedings and disciplinary matters involving the bench and bar and serve in a supervisory capacity in the administration of the lower courts.
