Judicial Statistical Inquiry Form This site at Cornell University has a searchable database of recent state and federal civil cases and allows you to do statistical anaylyses on the data. For example, you can find out the average verdict in a motor vehicle case in various counties, or the avarage workers compensation award in the federal ninth circuit. The database is divided by Federal District-Court Civil Cases (which utilizes a database of about 3.7 million federal district-court civil cases terminated over the last 17 fiscal years [1975 to 1995] ) Completed Trials Only or All Cases, and State Civil Trials (which utilizes a sampling of about 6.5 thousand state tort, contract, and real property cases terminated during fiscal 1992 by means of a jury trial in the general jurisdiction trial court of 45 of the nation's most populous counties), and State Civil Cases (which utilizes a sampling of about 30 thousand state tort, contract, and real property cases terminated during fiscal 1992 in the general jurisdiction trial court of 45 of the nation's most populous counties). The site is searchable. 04/97. |
