With the release of the State Supreme Court Data Project (SSDP), much ground has been tilled in the advancement of the study of courts in general, and state courts specifically. Scholars of the judiciary now have a valuable resource with which to test general theories of judicial behavior. However, in its current format, the unit of analysis in the SSDP does not allow us to study the behavior of individual justices on these courts. The PIs will to transform the existing SSDP from a case-level database to an individual-level (justice-level) database. Specifically, the PIs will transform, check, describe, and archive the individual-level state supreme court judge data. Given both the importance of the SSDP as well as its frequency of use, supplementing the SSDP with an individual-level database is something that will be widely utilized by scholars of the judiciary.

随着国家最高法院数据项目（SSDP）的发布，在一般法院和州法院的研究中取得了很大进展。司法学者现在拥有宝贵的资源来检验司法行为的一般理论。然而，在目前的格式中，SSDP的分析单元不允许我们研究这些法院的个别法官的行为。PI将把现有的SSDP从案件级数据库转换为个人级（司法级）数据库。具体来说，PI将转换、检查、描述和存档个人级别的州最高法院法官数据。 鉴于SSDP的重要性及其使用频率，以个人层面的数据库补充SSDP将被司法学者广泛使用。
