Yesterday, we reviewed which trial courts produced the Court’s civil docket between 2000 and 2004.  Today, we’re looking at the data for the docket of criminal, quasi-criminal and attorney disciplinary cases during the same years.

As you can see in Table 631 below, the criminal docket is usually more scattered as a geographical matter than the civil docket is.  The Court decided thirty-five criminal cases in 2000 which arose from Cook County.  The Court decided five cases each from Du Page and St. Clair counties.  The Court decided four cases which arose from the ARDC and the Bar Court, three from Lake and Kane counties, and two from Will, Vermilion, Madison, McLean and Jefferson counties.  The Court decided one case each from Jackson, La Salle, Peoria, Kankakee, Champaign, Marion, McHenry, Sangamon, Randolph, Bureau, Grundy, Coles, Livingston, Iroquois, Jo Daviess, Douglas, Lee, Pike, Logan and Washington counties.

The Court decided fifteen criminal cases from Cook County in 2001.  The Court decided six cases from Kane County, five from Du Page and Champaign counties, three from La Salle, Sangamon and Adams counties, and two each from Lake, Rock Island and Kankakee counties.  The Court decided one criminal case each from Winnebago, Will, Vermilion, McLean, Peoria, Jefferson, Stephenson, McHenry, Bureau, Macoupin, Logan and De Kalb counties.

In 2002, the Court decided twenty-six criminal cases from Cook County.  The Court decided six cases from Kane County, five from Henry County, three from Du Page and Vermilion counties, and two from Winnebago, Will, Peoria, Sangamon and De Kalb counties.  The Court decided one criminal case apiece from Lake, Whiteside, McLean, Rock Island, St. Clair, Kankakee, Champaign, Montgomery, Livingston, Hancock, Ogle, Fulton, Massac, Wayne, Alexander and Morgan counties, as well as one case from the ARDC.

In 2003, the Court decided twenty-seven criminal cases from Cook County.  The Court decided six cases each from Du Page and Will counties.  The Court decided three cases each from Lake, Vermilion and Madison counties and two cases from Bureau County.  The Court decided one criminal case each from Winnebago, La Salle, Macon, Peoria, Kankakee, Champaign, Williamson, Kane, McHenry, Sangamon, Coles, Tazewell, Piatt and Johnson counties, as well as one case from the ARDC.

Finally, in 2004, the Court decided twenty criminal cases from Cook County.  The Court decided five cases from Champaign County, three from Madison and two each from Winnebago, Du Page, Will, Rock Island, La Salle, Macon, Peoria, Kankakee, Sangamon, Livingston and Macoupin counties.  The Court decided one criminal case each from Lake, McLean, Kane, McHenry, Tazewell, Effingham, Hancock, Ogle, Warren and Pike counties, as well as one case from the ARDC and Bar Courts.
