scotusstats.com is a tool for exploring statistics related to cases heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. It displays a range of charts and statistics, and allows users to filter cases by various criteria.
The charts are based on data from the scdb database, from the oyez.org project, and from the Supreme Court's website.
The website is maintained by Dominik Peters as a side project. Feedback and bug reports are welcome. The website also hosts a podcast feed (GitHub repository) of audio recordings of Supreme Court oral arguments for convenient listening, and a video channel (GitHub repository) of Supreme Court oral arguments with synchronized transcripts.
Data is fetched and processed using the scripts in the data-pipeline folder.
The website sources are in the website folder.
The website uses Algolia instantsearch.js with a backend based on ItemsJS (so the client downloads the complete dataset on load) for filtering. Most charts are rendered using very simple HTML and CSS (see this file), with more complex charts using echarts.
