Abstract
Statistics for the appellate courts address the Arkansas Supreme Court's caseload and petition activities, written opinions, disposition summary, and a time study. Similar data are provided for the Court of Appeals. Data for general jurisdiction courts address circuit courts' caseload activity, State case processing times, and statewide filings by case type. Data are provided on total cases filed, terminated, pending at the end of the year, and pending for over 2 years for all general jurisdiction courts. Other data for general jurisdiction courts address the ranking of circuit courts by filings per judge; circuit court disposition rates; circuit court pending cases over 2 years old; and summaries for caseloads that involve criminal, civil, domestic-relations, probate, and juvenile proceedings. Data for limited jurisdiction courts address filings and caseloads for district and city courts. Extensive statistical tables
