Court Statistics and Reports

The Minnesota Judicial Branch makes a variety of data summaries available to the public in interactive data dashboards and written publications and makes a limited number of bulk data extracts available to the public upon execution of a signed data use agreement. Members of the public may also make a data request to the State Court Administrator by visiting the Request Data tab. The Minnesota Rules of Public Access to Records of the Minnesota Judicial Branch govern what data is available to the public.

Visit the Access Case Records page to view specific case records and documents.

Some Minnesota Judicial Branch data is available in interactive data dashboards. Dashboards can be downloaded in PDF format for printing and raw data from the dashboards can be downloaded in Excel and CSV. See the Dashboard User Guide (PDF) for help with these features. 

Dashboards are not supported in Internet Explorer. Dashboards work best in the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge. Technical difficulties are often resolved by switching browsers.
