DISTRICT WORKSPACE
Scan the districts under the most pressure.
Sort the current publication by backlog, clearance pace, typical wait, or file-clear gap. When a district looks unusual, open its evidence page for history, caveats, and exports.
0.0 cleared for every 100 filed.
i
Districts where several pressure signals line up at once.
A district lands on this list when it combines a large backlog of pending cases with slower clearance or longer waits than the state average. It is a signal for closer inspection, not a finding about any specific court or official.
These are the clearest districts to inspect first, not a finding about any court or official.

INVESTIGATION PATH
Turn a district list into a trail.
Use the table to find a pressure signal, then open evidence, compare districts inside this geography, or check what moved between published snapshots.
01
Sort for pressure
Switch between backlog, clearance pace, typical wait, and file-clear gap instead of relying on one headline rank.
Reset workspace02
Open a district
Every district row links to a standalone evidence page with history, caveats, citation text, and CSV downloads.
Inspect biggest backlog03
Compare two signals
Put two districts side by side when you need a cleaner local contrast, without turning it into a statewide finding.
Open comparison04
Check movement
Use movers when there are at least two published snapshots, so you can separate scale from recent change.
Open movers| District | Rank | Cases waiting i
pending cases
Cases waiting to be decided. These are court cases that have been filed but not yet disposed. We count everything that is still open on the day the source numbers were published — including cases that are only a few days old and cases that have been pending for years. |
Cleared / 100 filed i
cases cleared per 100 filed
How many cases courts finish for every 100 new ones they get. If this number is 100, courts are keeping pace with new filings. Below 100 means the backlog is growing. Above 100 means courts are catching up. We calculate it from the monthly filing and disposal totals published in the source dashboard. |
Typical wait i
typical wait
About how long a pending case has been waiting in court. This is an estimate of the middle of the backlog — roughly how old a typical pending case is. It is not the age of any one case. Courts publish cases grouped into age buckets (0–1 year, 1–3 years, and so on), and we estimate from those buckets. |
Older than 5 years | Repeat signal | File-clear gap i
file-clear gap
How much more work is coming in than going out. A positive gap means cases are being filed faster than courts are clearing them — the backlog grows. A negative gap means the reverse. We calculate it from the most recent month of filings and disposals. |
