FY 2022 Census of State Courts

The Census of State Courts (CSC) is a new collection for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The CSC is intended to provide a complete census of all state and local courts operational in the United States, and to compile important staffing data and information about the case types heard in state municipal, trial, and appellate courts. This census serves as foundational work to build a universe frame for municipal, limited- and general-jurisdiction, and appellate courts. Thus, this collection will serve as a universe frame for future surveys of state courts.
