Important Update On Criminal Case Tables

Because single-case profiles often do not capture the characteristics and complexity of multi-defendant cases, the following case tables will no longer be created and published, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2011:

Table D-1: Criminal Cases Commenced, Terminated, and Pending
Table D-2: Criminal Cases Commenced, by Offense
Table D-3: Criminal Cases Commenced, by Offense and District
Table D-13: Criminal Cases Commenced, by Type of Proceedings

Table D: Cases Commenced, Terminated, and Pending, as well as all defendant tables, will continue to be published.
