Por qué estos 20
Brazil's National Council of Justice (CNJ) publishes the case records of every court in the DataJud public API. We count the cases whose filing date (dataAjuizamento) falls in the month, per court. This counts new cases, not judgments or cases closed, and a court with a large backlog can rank low. Courts upload their records with a delay, so the month shown is three months back and its numbers still grow for a while (we recount every day). Electoral and military courts are left out (few cases). State courts of justice (TJ) take most civil and criminal cases, so São Paulo's TJSP leads by far.
