This week, we're reporting the data for the Supreme Court's civil and criminal cases during the years 2000 through 2009.

Once again, Cook County led by a wide margin, accounting for 172 civil cases.  Du Page and Lake counties – the second and third largest counties by population – were next, followed by the Industrial Commission.  St. Clair County from the Fifth District followed, with Sangamon County, Will County and Madison County next.
