The Real Business of the Courts
The court cases we hear about most often involve something extreme, but what is the usual, day-to-day business of the courts? This project provides a series of interactive views designed to give you a look under the hood of a large state judicial system you may have heard about, the Florida courts.
The visualizations shed light on questions about the structure of the court system, the volume and type of cases it handles, and how the cases are resolved. For all of these questions, the answers can vary over time, over geography and over the types of events and resolutions being examined.
