Reviewing Declining Dockets, Legal Half 1 (1997-2000) – Trials & Appeals & Compensation

Final time, we confirmed that though civil dockets have been down a bit
between 1997 and 2000 within the First and Fifth Districts, declines
elsewhere within the state have been negligible. This time, we take a look at the
prison dockets for a similar interval.

The sample was comparatively related on the prison docket.
Throughout the 4 years, new prison filings on the First District
declined about eleven per cent, from 2,436 in 1997 to 2,176 in
2000. New filings within the Second District have been really up –
from 566 in 1997 to 737 in 1998, 665 in 1999 and 649 in 2000. Third
District filings have been up too, from 458 in 1997 to 486 in 2000.
Fourth District filings fell about eight p.c: 535 new circumstances in
1997, 467 in 1998, 479 in 1999 and 493 in 2000. However as soon as once more, the
Fifth District had the most important decline of twenty-three p.c. In
1997, there have been 346 new circumstances. That fell to 272 in 1998, 290 in
1999 and 267 in 2000.

Subsequent up, civil circumstances within the Appellate Court docket between 2001 and
2010.
