No change vs. prior published snapshot.
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.
No change percentage points vs. prior snapshot.
