Court Statistics Report

The Court Statistics Report (CSR) is published annually by the Judicial Council of California and is designed to fulfill the provisions of article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution, which requires the Judicial Council to survey the condition and business of the California courts. The CSR combines 10-year statewide summaries of superior court filings and dispositions with similar workload indicators for the California Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal. The 2014 CSR also provides more detailed information on filings and dispositions in the individual superior courts for the most recent fiscal year for which data are available, 2012–2013.
