Judicial process and the exercise of judicial judgment can be illuminated by the development of empirical data on court decisions from judicial institutions at different levels. Dr. Songer's planning project develops a design for the construction of a multi-user data base on cases considered by the U.S. Courts of Appeal. The purpose of the planning grant is to assess the scientific potential of a multi-use data base on the courts of appeal, identify the scope and parameters of such a data resource, and develop a working model for the systematic, reliable, and standardized collection of data. In order to ensure that the data base project is designed to maximize the utility for potential users, Dr. Songer's project includes active work with an advisory committee to secure input from a broad range of public law scholars on issues of the theoretical utility of the data set, its methodological significance, its appropriateness in terms of current and anticipated future scholarly interests, the costs and benefits of standardization, the gains to be made from investing in the inclusion of unpublished opinions, data definition, and reliability. It is hoped that this planning grant will permit the development of a data set that will contain measures of theoretical and practical significance comparable to those being developed for other data sets on the Supreme Court and the district courts.

司法程序和司法判决的行使可以通过来自不同级别司法机构的法院判决的经验数据的发展来阐明。Songer博士的规划项目开发了一种设计，用于构建美国上诉法院审理案件的多用户数据库。规划赠款的目的是评估关于上诉法院的多用途数据库的科学潜力，确定这种数据资源的范围和参数，并为系统、可靠和标准化的数据收集制定一个工作模型。为了确保数据库项目的设计能够最大限度地为潜在用户提供效用，Songer博士的项目包括与一个咨询委员会积极合作，以确保广泛的公法学者就数据集的理论效用、方法意义、当前和预期的未来学术兴趣方面的适当性等问题提供投入。标准化的成本和收益，投资于包含未发表的意见、数据定义和可靠性所获得的收益。希望这一规划赠款将允许编制一套数据集，其中将包含与正在编制的最高法院和地区法院的其他数据集相媲美的具有理论和实际意义的措施。
