This data collection examined general civil cases (torts,
contracts, and real property) disposed of by bench or jury trial in
the nation's 75 most populous counties in 2001. Information reported
includes the type of case, types of plaintiffs and defendants, trial
winners, amount of total damages awarded, amount of punitive damages
awarded, and case processing time. This is the third in a series of

COURTS, 1996 (ICPSR 2883).
