The visualization of judicial statistics is a new form of judicial openness in the era of big data, which is of great significance for the public to understand judicial dynamics and maintain judicial fairness. The study finds that neither the Supreme Court of China nor the U.S. Supreme Court provides a dashboard of judicial statistics, but the frequency of data updates in the United States is quarterly, and in China, it is updated in the form of annual reports. Among the court web portals of 35 provinces (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) in China, only 3 courts provide visualization of judicial statistics. Among the 51 state court web portals in the United States, 18 courts conduct visualization of judicial statistics. For dg.o attendees, this research offers unique insights into how the two countries approach the challenge of making judicial data accessible and understandable to the public.
