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 2016 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, 20142015.
Automatic appeals arising out of judgments of death totaled 18 cases, and the court disposed of 19
such appeals by written opinion.
The Supreme Court ordered 21 Court of Appeal opinions depublished in this fiscal year.
Courts of Appeal
Total contested matters for the Courts of Appeal totaled 20,661 made up of 13,607 records of appeal
and 7,054 original proceedings.
Dispositions in the Courts of Appeal totaled 22,084. Of these dispositions, 15,283 were appeals, and
6,801 were original proceedings.
Dispositions of appeals by written opinion totaled 9,417, appeals disposed of without written opinion
totaled 3,906, and appeals disposed of without a record filed totaled 1,960. Dispositions of original
proceedings by written opinion totaled 442, and original proceedings disposed of without written
opinion totaled 6,429.
Superior Courts
In FY 2014-15, over 6.8 million cases were filed statewide in the Superior Courts. The CSR organizes all the
cases filed in the courts in four main case categoriesCivil; Criminal; Family and Juvenile; Probate, Mental
Health, Appeals, Habeas. The case filing totals for the individual case types reported by the courts for FY
2014-15 are as follows:
Civil: The civil case category is made up of unlimited civil, limited civil, and small claims matters. Civil
unlimited cases are matters where the petitioner is seeking more than $25,000. There were 192,761
unlimited civil cases filed in the courts. Limited civil filings are cases where the petitioner is seeking
$25,000 or less. Limited civil cases totaled 375,178 statewide. Small claims filings are cases where the
petitioner is seeking $10,000 or less and is not represented by counsel. A total of 150,382 small claims
cases were filed statewide.
Criminal: The criminal case category is made up of felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions. The filing
totals for the individual case types are as follows: felony filings represented 214,088 cases, misdemeanor
filings totaled 922,730 cases, and infraction filings accounted for 4,424,870 cases.
Family and Juvenile: Marital filings (dissolutions, legal separations and nullities) accounted for 138,121
cases and other family law filings (e.g. paternity, child support) totaled 242,039 cases. Juvenile
delinquency filings totaled 40,726 cases and juvenile dependency filings totaled 44,679 cases.
Probate, Mental Health, Appeals, and Habeas: The filing totals for the individual case types are as follows:
probate filings totaled 44,456 cases; mental health filings totaled 29,718 cases; civil and criminal appeal
filings totaled 5,064 cases; and criminal habeas corpus filings totaled 7,898 cases.
The largest changes in statewide filings for Superior Courts from the previous year are in limited jurisdiction
case typesmisdemeanors and infractions in the criminal case category and small claims and limited civil in
the civil case category. Limited jurisdiction cases tend to be, on average, much less complex and resourceintensive for courts than unlimited jurisdiction case types such as felonies, civil torts, juvenile, probate, and
mental health. Several of the most complex types of cases filed in the courts had an increase in filings from
the previous year, which include the following case types: Personal Injury/Property Damage/Wrongful Death
(PI/PD/WD), Probate, and Mental Health. Felony filings decreased for the first time in several years due
presumably to the passage of Proposition 47 in November 2014, which reclassified certain theft and drug
possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors.

INTRODUCTION
The Court Statistics Report (CSR) is published annually by the Judicial Council of California. 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 appendixes to this report provide detailed information on
filings and dispositions in the superior courts for the most recent fiscal year, 20142015.
The CSR 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 is published on the California Courts website at http://www.courts.ca.gov/12941.htm.
xi
With the introduction of a new budget development and allocation process for the trial courts in 2013, the data
published in the Court Statistics Report is being used by the judicial branch for a critically important new
purpose. The Judicial Council adopted the Workload-based Allocation and Funding Methodology, or WAFM,
which uses the Resource Assessment Model (RAS) and other workload factors in a new budget development
process that alters baseline funding for most trial courts based on court workload. WAFM is consistent with
Goal II, Independence and Accountability, of Justice in Focus: The Strategic Plan for California Judicial Branch
2006-2012, in that the methodology strives to allocate resources in a transparent and fair manner that
promotes efficiency and effectiveness in the administration of justice, supports the strategic goals of the
judicial branch, promotes innovation, and provides for effective and consistent court operations (Goal II.B.3).
Missing Data
Statewide totals in the CSR may be influenced by missing data for certain courts. Typically, when courts do not
report data to the Judicial Council, it is because they have encountered difficulties generating automated
reports from their case management systems. Filings data submitted by the courts tend to be more complete
than disposition data.
Incomplete Data
The reporting of incomplete data typically occurs when courts transmit partial data totals for a particular case
type because of the limits of their case management systems. It should be noted that incomplete data are
more difficult to spot in the tables that follow, but in general they will cause downward shifts in the number of
filings and dispositions. (Incomplete data for FY 20142015 are also detailed in Appendix A.)
Training court staff on the standards for the classification, entry, and reporting of data;
Providing information to the courts for resolving technical questions associated with data definitions,
processing, and aggregation;
Developing and adopting a new case management system infrastructure in the courts; and
Documenting and disseminating information related to changes in the ways that courts define or
report data.
xii
Although a growing number of courts now transmit their data electronically from their case management
system to the Judicial Council, there continue to be differences among superior courts case processing and
other business practices that reflect the histories of individual courts and the unique needs of the communities
they serve. These differences may influence the ways in which superior courts report data to the Judicial
Council. On that basis, while the filings and disposition data reported by any one court are largely comparable
to data from other courts, some local variations in the classification and reporting of cases still occur.
The major organizational change in the 2016 CSR is to distinguish descriptive caseload indicators such as
filings and dispositions, and basic standards and measures of judicial administration. These measures, such
as time to disposition and caseload clearance rate, allow the courts to assess case-processing practices and
ensure efficient allocation of resources. Engaging in an ongoing assessment of performance measurement
furthers many of the branchwide strategic goalssuch as access to justice, accountability, and quality of
justice and service to the publicthat are vital to the effective administration of justice in California.
CalCourTools
CalCourTools is a set of judicial administration standards and measures linked to technical assistance
available from the Judicial Council. The CalCourTools program builds on the CourTools measures developed by
the National Center for State Courts and endorsed by the Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of
State Court Administrators

judges needed (AJN) was 2,171 based on the 2014 assessment presented to the Judicial Council at
the December 2014 meeting.
xvii
more than 2,000 judicial positions statewide address the full range of cases heard each year by the superior
courts, as reflected in the sheer number of case filings and dispositions reported here. The superior courts
report summaries of their case filing counts to the Judicial Council, and the CSR reports those figures here in
aggregate form.
The next level of court authority within the states judicial branch resides with the Courts of Appeal. Most of the
cases that come before the Courts of Appeal involve the review of a superior court decision that is being
contested by a party to the case. The Legislature has divided the state geographically into six appellate
districts, each containing a Court of Appeal. Currently, 105 appellate justices preside in nine locations in the
state to hear matters brought for review. Totals of Court of Appeal case filings are forwarded to the Judicial
Council; these are summarized in the tables that follow.
The Supreme Court sits at the apex of the states judicial system, and has discretion to review decisions of the
Courts of Appeal in order to settle important questions of law and resolve conflicts among the courts of appeal.
Although the Supreme Court generally has considerable discretion in determining in which cases to grant
review, it must review the appeal in any case in which a trial court has imposed the death penalty. The
Supreme Court sends the Judicial Council its annual case filing figures, which are reported here in summary
form.
Appellate Courts
APPEAL. An appeal is a proceeding undertaken to have a decision of a lower trial court reviewed by a court with
appellate authority over the matter. (Certain limited matters are reviewed by the appellate department of the
superior courts.) A notice of appeal is a written notification filed in the superior court to initiate the appeal of a
judgment to the Court of Appeal. The Courts of Appeal have appellate jurisdiction in all trial court matters,
except when a judgment of death is entered, in which case the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction. If the
matter is appealable, the court must hear the appeal. A fully briefed appeal is one in which all briefs have
been filed with the court. Dismissal of an appeal involves the termination of a case for reasons other than its
merit. An appeal that is awaiting a final decision is said to be pending. Each notice of appeal is counted as one
new filing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW. A petition for review is filed in the California Supreme Court to ask that court to exercise
its discretion to review a decision issued by a Court of Appeal in an appeal or an original proceeding. The
Supreme Court has a total of 90 days to consider a petition for review, after which it loses jurisdiction. If a
petition for review is granted by the Supreme Court then full briefing occurs on the case; if a petition is denied
then the judgment of the lower court becomes final as to the case.
AUTOMATIC APPEAL. An automatic appeal is the appeal following a judgment of death in the trial court. This
type of appeal is unique because it moves directly from a superior court to the Supreme Court without first
being reviewed by a Court of Appeal. Like other types of appeals, is fully briefed before being heard. An
automatic appeal is counted as one new filing.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING. An original proceeding is an action that may be filed and heard for the first time in an
appellate court. This action is not an appeal; rather, it is ordinarily a petition for a writ. Examples of original
xviii
proceedings include a writ of mandamus, which instructs a lower court to perform mandatory duties correctly;
a writ of prohibition, or an order that forbids certain actions; and a writ of habeas corpus, which is described
below. Each original proceeding is counted as one new filing.
PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. A petition for the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus is typically
filed to contest the legality of a partys imprisonment or conditions of confinement. Each habeas corpus
petition is counted as one new filing.
WRITTEN OPINION. A written opinion is a document issued by an appellate court explaining the terms and
reasoning in its disposition of a case. The written opinion includes a statement of the legal facts in the case,
relevant points of law, and the courts analysis and rationale for its decision. In addition to the written majority
opinion in a case, concurring and dissenting opinions also may be filed in each case. For each case, only the
majority opinion is counted as a written opinion in these tables.
DISPOSITIONS. The appellate court may dispose of a case by affirming or reversing the action of the lower
court, or it may send the case back to the lower court for further proceedings if appropriate.
RECORD OF APPEAL. A record of appeal is the compilation of documents and transcripts associated with a
given superior court case under review by an appellate court. The record is a component of a new appellate
case and as such is not counted separately from the initial appeal.
REVERSAL OF CASE DECISION. A reversal is the overturning of a lower courts decision by an appellate court.
Superior Courts
FILING. In the most general sense, a filing is the initiation of a legal action with the court through a carefully
prescribed legal procedure.
How Filings Are Counted. The procedure used to count filings for this report follows a set of rules consistent
with national standards for statistical reporting. These rules differ according to case type:
Each filing in a civil case pertains to the complaint or petition that has been submitted to the court for
action. A given civil complaint may name one or more individuals or groups as its object. However,
regardless of the number of parties named in a case, each civil case is reported as one filing or one
disposition.
Each filing in a criminal case is associated with a single defendant against whom criminal charges
have been filed. Multiple criminal charges may occur in a case where different charges have been
brought against the same defendant, but only the single most severe charge against a defendant in a
given case is counted as a new criminal filing. When multiple defendants are charged with a crime,
multiple filings are reported.
Each filing in a juvenile case pertains to a minor who is the subject of a petition made to the court for
adjudication. A minor may have an initial filing that brought him or her to the attention of the court,
and subsequent filings if new petitions or charges are filed over time. This practice continues until
termination of the dependency or delinquency jurisdiction by the court or when the minor has reached
the legal definition of adulthood. In a single case involving multiple minors, each minor is counted as a
separate filing.
xix
certain case types, however, a disposition may merely signal the beginning of the courts authority over a case.
For example, after the petition to appoint a conservator is disposed of in conservatorship cases, the court
assumes control over that case. Rules for counting and reporting dispositions mirror those for filings, although
a case filed in one year may be disposed of by the court in a subsequent year.

Definition of Terms
Assessed Judicial Need (AJN): Represents the estimated number of judicial officers needed to handle the workload in the trial courts based on the
Judicial Needs Assessment Project. The Judicial Needs Assessment Project was approved by the Judicial Council in 2001 as the methodology for
evaluating judicial workload and the need for new judgeships. In 2004, the Judicial Council approved a minor change in the assessment methodology
that uses a 3-year average filings data instead of using a single year. The AJN numbers are updated on a 2-year cycle in even-numbered years, and
the value for FY 2014-15 represents the 2014 update that was presented to the Judicial Council at the December 2014 meeting.
Judicial Position Equivalents (JPE): Reflects authorized judicial positions adjusted for vacancies, assistance rendered by the court, and assistance
received by the court from assigned judges, temporary judges, commissioners, and referees.
Authorized Judicial Positions (AJP): Number of authorized judgeships, commissioners, and referees.
Authorized Judgeships: Number of judgeships authorized in statute.
Judicial Assistance Received by Trial Courts: Includes only assistance rendered by judges through assignments. Does not include assistance
rendered by commissioners, referees, and temporary judges (these are included in JPE).

Column Key:

B + C.
(B)
The 50 new judgeships authorized but not funded by Assembly Bill 159, effective January 2008, are included in column B .
(C)
(F)
D + E . Total may not match exactly due to rounding caused by part-time commissioner and referee positions.
Reflects authorized judicial positions adjusted for vacancies, assistance rendered by the court to other courts, and assistance received by
the court from assigned judges, temporary judges, commissioners, and referees. With the 50 new judgeships authorized by Assembly Bill
159 positions unfilled, pending funding approval by the Legislature, they are considered vacant and are excluded in column (F ) in the same
way as other judicial vacancies.
(G)
Represents the estimated number of judicial officers needed to handle the workload in the trial courts based on the Judicial Needs
Assessment Project. The Judicial Needs Assessment Project was approved by the Judicial Council in 2001 as the methodology for
evaluating judicial workload and the need for new judgeships. In 2004, the Judicial Council approved a minor change in the assessment
methodology that uses a 3-year average filings data instead of using a single year. The AJN numbers are updated on a 2-year cycle in evennumbered years, and the values for FY 2014-15 represent the 2014 update that was presented to the Judicial Council at the December
2014 meeting.

Column Key:
Since 2001, a felony is counted as one filing and one disposition for each defendant throughout all stages of criminal
(B)
proceedings. This change eliminated double-counting of defendants who were held to answer, certified on guilty pleas, or
waived preliminary hearings, and it reduced the numbers of filings and dispositions reported.
(B)
This column also includes miscellaneous felony petitions reported only by JBSIS courts disposed before trial in columns (D)
and (E.)
(C)(G)
The total of the manner of disposition categories may not add up to (B) because not all courts were able to submit complete
data for all manner of disposition data elements.
(C)
(D) (E)
(F)
Pleas of guilty before the start of trial. Includes felonies reduced to misdemeanors that subsequently went to trial.
Includes dismissals and transfers.
Includes trials for defendants whose felony charges were reduced to misdemeanors before the start of trial.
Notes:
(i)
0 or
Incomplete data; reports were submitted for less than a full year.
The court reported that no cases occurred or the court did not submit a report in this category.

Column Key:
The purpose of this table is to provide a general summary of broad categories of dispositions in criminal proceedings and is
(C)(G)
not an exhaustive list of all possible dispositions in individual criminal cases. The table categorizes dismissals and
acquittals together. The table does not specify the types or reasons for dismissal or acquittal, nor does it include other
outcomes such as diversion programs, deferred entries of judgment, or dismissals resulting from pursuit of supervision
revocations in lieu of formal convictions.
(C)(G)
The total of the manner of disposition categories may not add up to (B) because not all courts were able to submit
complete data for all manner of disposition data elements.
(D)
(G)
Disposition of felony petitions are reported only by JBSIS courts and are only classified as a disposition before hearing or
after hearing.
Notes:
(i)
0 or
Incomplete data; reports were submitted for less than a full year.
The court reported that no cases occurred or the court did not submit a report in this category.
