What the court queue does over twelve years
Trial duration is endogenous here: pleas free capacity, the wait shortens, more plead. The legacy backlog and the fresh-case list are tracked separately, and the two-track split has a cost the page shows: the legacy list waits longer at first.

Pendency over twelve years, with trial duration endogenous to the queue
