Thanks... I ask because I wonder if law firms do any data analysis for all court opinions(Sentiment Analysis), judges, attorneys and outcomes. Also if states have data warehouses to review the application of laws local and federal.

If they do, it's not common knowledge and they're being greedy! But that's the kind of thing I'm working on and I'm sure others are as well.

A startup, Lex Machina (https://lexmachina.com/ https://lexmachina.com/), does much of this stuff and sells it to law firms. My understanding is that they've been quite successful.

The Administrative Office of the US Courts and the Federal Judicial Center collect and publish some statistics, but they're pretty basic. For example, they collect "case type" as a single field with a single value. Most cases have more than one kind of claim, so this is incredibly under-inclusive. Also there aren't codes for lots of kinds of cases. http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/UnderstandingtheFederalCourts/AdministrativeOffice.aspx http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/UnderstandingtheFedera... http://www.fjc.gov/ http://www.fjc.gov/ States are a grab bag but generally statistics poor.

They don't, but Judicata does (http://www.judicata.com http://www.judicata.com). I don't think their product has been released yet.

Some jurisdictions have something called, by various names, the "Jury Verdict Reporter". If you see people in the Clerk's office (not federal) with laptops, they are copying information off of the case dockets. First instance state tribunals (however they are called) rarely publish their decisions. Some federal district court opinions are published.
