              January 1, 1970Case Filing and Termination Trends for U.S. District Courts (1940-1969)Several Federal Judicial Center research projects have required reference charts on statistical trends. Some of the general charts are reproduced herein as a handy reference for persons interested in or requiring this data for their work. The charts are based on data from the Annual Report of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for the years 1940 through 1969.
              January 1, 1970Study of Court Reporting Systems: Executive SummaryThe court reporting study was concerned with test of the feasibility of using an existing computerized translation system for the production of transcript in courtroom environment; the development of suitable statistics on time and cost of transcript preparation with any of a number of alternative methods now in use or available; and a survey of laws pertaining to the recording of court proceedings. The Executive Summary has been prepared as a digest of the study. In particular, it distills the main features of Volume I, a compendium of information on available systems, including descriptions and the necessary quantitative data to assist court administrative personnel in modifying existing arrangements for their own jurisdictions. Details of the experimental program, survey of laws, and an annotated bibliography are contained in three additional volumes of the full report.
The major recommendations are that further research and development effort is necessary and is warranted, and that consideration might be given to using the currently available computerized system as an interim measure to relieve excessive backlogs, but subject to some compromise in existing practice.
This National Bureau of Standards report was prepared for the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement Assistance Administration of the Department of Justice under NI-042 IA and for the Federal Judicial Center.
