About this dataset

  • Source: Virginia District Court Information System (DCIS) + Circuit Court Information System (CIS), 2025 calendar year
  • 244 courts across 125 jurisdictions, refreshed quarterly
  • The 19th Judicial Circuit (Fairfax County, Fairfax City, Falls Church) Circuit Court is not in CIS — district-level cases included; circuit-level not. Coverage notes.
  • Independent cities sharing a circuit with a parent county under Va. Code §17.1-506 (Galax/Carroll, Manassas/Prince William, Harrisonburg/Rockingham, etc.) appear under the parent's FIPS — that's the Code's organization, not a gap
  • Federal cases are not included
