Federal Court Case Statistics
If you are looking for compiled statistics on federal court cases,
the federal judiciary publishes them on the web in two places.
The official federal court website
(www.uscourts.gov) has numerous
statistical reports available free of charge.
The reports are available for viewing at
http://www.uscourts.gov/library/statisticsalreports.html.
In addition, the PACER Service Center hosts a number of federal case statistical reports on the PACER Case Locator. These reports include the F-2, F-5a, and the Civil Justice Reform Act Reports. The historical F-2 reports show the total business and nonbusiness bankruptcy filings for multiple years by chapter, district and circuit. The F-5a provides a summary of the number of business and non-business bankruptcy petitions filed, by chapter of the bankruptcy code, for a twelve month period. It displays totals by county, as well as each circuit and judicial district. The Civil Justice Reform Act Reports provide summary and detailed information on pending motions, bench trials, three-year-old cases, bankruptcy appeals, and Social Security appeal cases. These files will be updated as new data are released by the Administrative Office. The reports are available under the Statistics menu option on the PACER Case Locator. The reports hosted on the PACER Case Locator are available for 10 cents per page.
