FEDERAL JUDICIAL WORKLOAD STATISTICS March 1987
This report contains a summary of the business of the courts for the twelve month period ended March 1987. Unless stated otherwise, all references to year in this report apply to the twelve month periods ended March 31.
u.S. COURTS OF APPEALS
During 1987, both filings and terminations increased in the 12 regional courts of appeals. With increases in 7 of the courts, filings nationwide rose by 2 percent to a record high of 34,761 appeals. Much of this increase occurred in appeals from state prisoner petitions, which rose 2.2 percent from 5,213 in 1986 to 6,375 in 1987. The most significant decline was in social security appeals, which dropped by more than 18 percent. On a quarterly basis, new filings continued to decrease during the year, dropping to 8,309 appeals in the January through March 1987 period. This is the lowest number recorded during a quarterly period since 1985, when only 8,059 appeals were filed during the January through March quarter.
Terminations rose in 10 of the 12 courts during the year, increasing 4 percent from 32,902 in 1986 to 34,082 in 1987. Much of this growth involved appeals terminated on the merits after submission on briefs (up 12 percent) and procedural terminations by staff (up 7 percent). Due to the record number of filings, the overall pending caseload grew by 3 percent to 26,361 appeals. Despite this national increase, however, four courts were able to reduce their pending caseloads during the year. Detailed data for the courts of appeals are provided in Appendix Tables B, B-1 and B-5.
During the year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit docketed 6 percent fewer filings, down from 1,277 in 1986 to 1,198 in 1987. Much of this reduction can be attributed to a decrease in appeals from the U.S. Claims Courts, dropping a sizable 46 percent to '101 filings. Dispositions grew by 9 percent during the year to 1,876 appeals. Termi,nations of appeals from the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) accounted for la significant portion of this growth, rising by 118 cases to 1,213 dispositions. The number of appeals decided by the court increased substantially, comprising 93 percent of the total terminations in 1987 compared to only 74 percent in 1986. Due to the drop in new filings and large number of terminations of appeals from the MSPB, the pending caseJoad in the Federal Circuit declined 51 percent to 640 appeals. Detailed data for the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit are provided in Appendix Table A.

u.s. DISTRICT COURTS
Civil Workload
In 1987, the number of civil cases filed in U.S. district courts fell nearly 9 percent compared to the previous twelve months. The 241,179 civil filings for this year was more than 23,000 cases below the cases filed in 1986. This reduction is a continuation of decreasing filings which began approximately one year ago when filings fell by approximately 1 percent. The reduction in filings over this time has resulted primarily from large decreases in two types of civil actions. Suits filed by the U.S. government to recover on defaulted student loans and overpayments of veterans' benefits have fallen by almost 22,600 cases, or 46 percent during the last year; and social security disability filings have decreased by 26 percent, or more than 3,000 cases. Data from recent months have shown that the decreasing trend in social security disability cases has stopped and these cases are again on the rise. The large decreases have been offset to some extent by increases in some of the major nature of suit categories. Asbestos product liability filings rose by nearly 50 percent during the year to 7,786 cases. This increase continues the trend which has been present since the Administrative Office began to identify these cases separately in 1983. Foreclosure cases also increased substantially this year, by nearly 20 percent. Petitions filed by state and federal prisoners also rose by nearly 11 percent during the current year primarily because of a 16 percent increase in civil rights petitions filed by state prisoners. These actions were up in nearly every region of the country this year.
During the year, the district courts disposed of 243,754 civil cases, a 10 percent drop compared to the number of dispositions reported in 1986. This reduction in dispositions reflects primarily the lower number of government recovery cases filed (student loan and veterans). Since these cases generally move through the system very rapidly, and are present in large numbers, any reduction in the rate of filings during a year will also be reflected in the rate of terminations. Even with the substantial drop in the termination rate, the courts completed more cases than were filed. This resulted in a drop of 1 percent in the number of cases pending. On March 31, 1987, there were 243,474 civil cases pending in U.S. district courts.
Detpiled data on the civil case load of the district courts are provided in Appendix Tables C, C-1, C-2, and C-3.

Criminal Workload
In 1987, the number of criminal cases filed (including transfers) rose by nearly 5 percent to 42,949. The number of defendants in these cases also rose by approximately 5 percent to 58,513, or 1.4 defendants per case. Most of the overall increasls in criminal filings resulted from increased prosecutions for embezzleme'nt, fraud, drug violations, and sex offense violations. Prosecutions for embezzlement rose by 25 percent this year after a 9 percent decline in the previous year. Fraud cases rose by 9 percent this year primarily because of a 33 percent increase in prosecutions for fraud relating to lending institutions and a 21 percent increase in postal fraud. Sex offenses, which account for only a small portion of the Federa1 criminal workload, rose by nearly 33 percent this year but still amounted to only 368 cases. The area which has seen the most consistent and voluminous increase in recent years has been prosecutions under the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act (DAPCA). During 1987, prosecutions under DAPCA rose by 10 percent to more than 8,500 cases, approximately 20 percent of all filings. These cases included 16,741 defendants, or approximately 30 percent of all defendants prosecuted in district courts. Since 1983, the number of DAPCA cases filed has increased by nearly 75 percent. Most of the increase has been related to offenses involving narcotic drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Prosecutions for narcotic violations have risen by nearly 150 percent over the four-year period. Prosecutions for marihuana violations have increased by approximately 36 percent while those prosecutions related to prescription drug violations have fallen slightly over the four-year period.
During 1987, the district courts concluded 41,318 criminal cases, an increase of 5 percent over the previous year. The number of defendants whose cases were concluded rose by more than 6 percent to 56,515. The increased disposition rates, however, fell short of new filings, resulting in an increase in the pending case load. The number of criminal cases pending on March 31, 1987 rose to 26,275, an increase of nearly 7 percent over the number pending one year earlier. The number of defendants in these pending cases rose to 38,017.
Detailed data on the criminal workload of the district courts are provided in Appendix lJ"ables 0, 0-1, 0-2, and D-3.
BANKRUPTCY COURTS
During 1987, the number of bankruptcy petitions filed in the bankruptcy courts continued the increasing trend from previous years, as 547,640 petitions were filed. This was 23 percent above the number filed during the previous twelve months and 56 percent above the number of petitions filed during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 1985. While bankruptcy filings are still increasing at a rapid pace, the rate of increase has slowed slightly in recent months. This is reflected in the lower rate of increase (23 percent) during the most recent twelve-month period compared to the
3

I • increases of 28 percent and 32 percent during the twelve-month periods eniad Decem-! ber 1986 and September 1986, respectively.
The overall increase in bankruptcy petitions resulted primarily frem an increase of 27 percent in Chapter 7 filings. Also, Chapter 13 filings were up this year, by 16 percent, while Chapter 11 filings remained virtually unchanged. During the four-month period (from November 26,1986 through March 1987) since Chapter 12 (family farmer) became effective, the bankruptcy courts have received 2,920 filings under this Chapter.
Approximately 85 percent of the bankruptcies filed this year were non-business. The 465,286 non-business petitions filed in 1987 was 25 percent above the number filed last year. Business filings were also up substantially this year (12 percent) but at a much lower rate than non-business.
Detailed data on the caseload of the bankruptcy courts are provided in Appendix Tables F and F-2.
U.S. COURT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE
During the three-month period from January through March 1987, there were 583 cases filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. This was 43 percent above the number of cases filed in the previous quarter. The court terminated 920 cases during the quarter ended March 1987, nearly 16 percent more than were terminated in the previous quarter. All cases filed during the last six months were civil actions with no protest or reappraisement case filings. On March 31. 1987, there were 18,675 cases pending in the court. This was nearly four percent below the number of cases pending six months earlier on September 30, 1986.
U.S. CLAIMS COURT
During the three-month period from January through March 1987. there were 175 complaints filed in the United States Claims Court. During the same period. the court disposed of 146 complaints and had 1.811 complaints pending on March 31, 1987. This pending caseload is three percent above the number of complaints pending six months earlier on September 30, 1986.
If the current rate of filings were to continue for each of the quarters of this year, the court would receive approximately 700 new cases for the full year. This would be substantially lower than the 813 complaints filed during the,year ended September 1986. but approximately the same rate as in 1984 and 1985.
