Caseload Statistics

This excerpt from a book on the American state courts explains how statistics on the kinds of cases a court is receiving and resolving can be employed to identify and solve problems in court performance. The basic information about each case that needs to be collected is identified, and some examples of how this data can help improve court performance are reviewed. The excerpt is reprinted with the permission of the National Center for State Courts in Williamsburg, Virginia.
