New York Courts introduce online caseload dashboard to boost transparency

In a move meant to enhance accessibility and transparency, the New York State Unified Court System announced a new online dashboard on Thursday that offers comprehensive insights into caseload trends across state trial courts. 

This tool is designed to provide the public, including legal professionals, with detailed information on court activities, including filings, dispositions, pending cases and trials commenced.

“With the steadily increasing interest in caseload trends data, the newly launched Trial Court Caseload Trends Dashboard offers researchers, legislators, court users and others easy access to this valuable information,” said Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas. “We are indebted to the court system’s Division of Technology and Court Research for their skillful efforts in the development and implementation of this dynamic addition to the court system’s online data toolbox.”

The Trial Court Caseload Trends Dashboard encompasses a wide range of courts, such as the local Criminal Court, Supreme Court-Criminal Term, County Court-Criminal Term, local Civil Court, Supreme Court-Civil Term, County Court-Civil Term, Family Court and Surrogate’s Court.
