On August 20, 2008, the federal court system posted new "2007 Judicial Facts and Figures" containing case data in the U.S. Courts of Appeal, U.S. District Courts, and U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2002-2007. The data shows the total number of judicial officers, the number of cases and appeals that were filed, the types of cases that were filed, and the length or duration of cases. The data is available in a single table or multiple, individual tables. As an example, the table showing cases filed by jurisdiction indicates that over 257,000 cases were filed in federal district courts.
