Description: Over the past half-century, the number of cases entering American federal and state courts multiplied. But, largely unobserved by the public, the percentage of those cases that are disposed of has steadily deaeased. In recent decades, as the inaease in filings has leveled off but the percentage cases reaching trial has continued to fall, the absolute number of trials has deaeased as well. Conducting trials is a shrinking portion of what judges do. The effects of this turn away from trials on judges, on and on public perceptions of the legal system remain to be explored.
