Court data from Wolfram|Alpha

It’s always interesting to see legal information from a non-legal point of view. Wolfram|Alpha (a company that is most certainly not a legal publisher or legal research product vendor) recently added some information from federal courts to its “computational knowledge engine.” There are some intriguing results! From the Wolfram|Alpha Blog:

Input like “California courts” will give you a summary of key stats about all the district courts in a given state, including a list of the largest cities in each of them. From there, you can click a specific court to see a map of that court’s jurisdiction and detailed information about overall caseloads and judgeships, as well as annual filings for a variety of civil and criminal case types.
