Most of this increase was due to a significant jump of new filings in the Northern District of Florida (Pensacola) and the Western District of Louisiana (Shreveport). The comparisons of the number of civil filings are based on case-by-case court records which were compiled and analyzed by TRAC.

Among the suits filed in August, "Personal Injury- Product Liability" was the most frequent nature of suit. "Insurance" was next in frequency, followed by "Civil Rights."
