Caseload Statistics Reports

The three annual reports Bud ran on our behalf. All my web stats come from these three reports:

Classification Statistical Summary Reports - Criminal, Civil and Criminal & Civil Runs

Disposition Statistical Summary Reports - Criminal, Civil, and Criminal & Civil Runs

Caseload Workload Summary 19__through 20__. (Covers a ten year period)

Disposition Statistical Summary Report - Counts Cases Disposed between two dates and includes the begin-date chosen and the end-date chosen.

The programs looks to see if there is a COA final judgment after the Supreme Court first in the time frame. If there is, it counts and collects that judgment. If that field is blank, it check the COA initial judgment field and if there is a judgment here it counts and collects it.

On the grand summary page of this report the following items are counted: Opinions, non-published opinions, companion cases and orders. It uses the following logic.

This calculation uses the judgment table. An opinion is counted if there is a judgment number, a greater than 0 opinion page count and the case status is either a J or R. A non-published opinion will be counted in the opinion total since it will have a judgment number, its opinion page count will be greater than 0 and will have a case status of J or R.

A companion case is counted if there is a judgment number, a 0 opinion page count and a J or R case status. Therefore, if you want to display total cases disposed by opinions, the companion cases need to be added to the cases disposed by opinion.

An order is counted if there is no judgment number, a 0 opinion page count and the case status is J or R. If this is true, the orders total is only orders that dispose of the case.

A different table is used to calculate the non-published opinions as a separate figure. It is the gendocket table and the program checks for case status J or R and 'NON PUB' in the cite field.
