How long, honestly.

A median is a point on a clock that has not stopped. The honest answer is the band with its coverage — and, where a number was withdrawn, why.

The band, with its coverage

Every figure here is one the console prints today, with its denominator; where it withholds, the withhold is the widget.

structuralCounts of what the source files do not record, as of 2026-08-19 — a census of our own custody, not a rate over any cohort.

What this omits

A median over 73,897 terminations is not this matter's date. No court is ranked or coloured by this number — the duration ruling forbids it — and the docketed-to-disposition clock starts after everything that happened below.

A position on a clock is not a prediction: the acquisition rule says what this console holds, not what the court will do.

Excluding pending cases biases the number downward at a rate that varies by district and case type, and because that exclusion rate itself moves, it manufactured an apparent speed-up we could not reproduce. We withdrew it rather than restate it, and the district ranking that depended on it is withdrawn with it.

Time to resolution is not a column of the district table: the withdrawn figure had a denominator — terminated cases only — which is exactly why it was withdrawn. These clocks are never combined into a single number. Each is measured over its own registry with its own denominator, so a blended figure would carry whichever denominator the quoter happened to pick.

Receipts

Why: number passport — the median and its n are two served keys, both resolved on this request. A duration renders instantly; only a whole count is ever animated. Method: observed elapsed time over completed appeals, docketed to disposition. Descriptive only — no model, no posterior, no per-matter prediction.

Binding served_truth:appellate-pendency-docketed-to-disposition-median-days → 398 days · …-n → 73,897 · …-p90-days → 827 days · …-circuit-median-low-days → 307 days · …-circuit-median-high-days → 532 days.

Cohort: counselled merits terminations with judgment in calendar years 2021–2025. Render-time binding is on the artifact's exact integers, not on these strings: the rack re-reads each value from the artifact and refuses to print the clock at all if the formatted value disagrees with the literal.

What it omits

A circuit-specific figure is not minted: that would require joining this door's own circuit field to the clock's FJC circuit coding per case, and that join is corroborated but not verified at the row level. Two internal clocks (argued → disposition, last brief → disposition) are conditional on a stage the reader has not reached and cover 0.70 / 0.79 of the cohort rather than 1.0; they are not published.

Gate: withheld · critical
Declared: litan.ui.number_passport._PUBLIC_FIGURE_OVERLAY
Frame: terminated cases only — which is exactly why

The withdrawal, verbatim

We do not publish a case-duration estimate. The figure previously shown here was computed from terminated cases only, which excludes still-pending cases at a rate that varies by district and case type. That exclusion biases the number downward and, because the exclusion rate itself moves over time, it also manufactured an apparent speed-up that we could not reproduce as a real change. We withdrew the figure rather than restate it.

We do not rank districts or judges by speed. The ordering depended on a duration figure we withdrew, so the ranking is withdrawn with it.

Reported instead

We report the number of cases in this cohort and how many of them have closed. We do not convert that into a typical time-to-resolution, because the cases still open are the long ones and omitting them understates the answer.

Why it is withheld

The source card carries its own publication banner — it is an unpublished N0904 working card and states that its numbers must not be quoted externally in any form; the binding that would clear it (served_truth/card_aggregate_registry.py) is written and DARK.

What the numbers are, exactly: the 50th percentile of the Kaplan–Meier survivor function for time from FJC statistical filing to FJC statistical termination, in elapsed calendar months, per nature-of-suit code, reported beside the median computed over terminated rows only and the difference between them. A row with no termination date is pending and is right-censored at the cutoff. It is never assigned a duration and never enters a numerator as a fast termination.

Provenance · the district table

Denominator rule

Shares are percentages of that district's own observed dispositions — the case count in the same row is the denominator. They need not sum to 100: other and unclassified dispositions are not printed as a share. The index is served as one 2020–2025 window; the producer publishes no per-year rows, so vintage is one column with one value.

What it cannot prove

It does not prove the survivorship gap figure — the app withholds it today and so does this page; the hero is the one served duration distribution. It does not prove p95 frame time on hardware Metal: the evidence run is SwiftShader. It does not prove the light-field shader (the two-gradient fallback paints here). It does not prove per-circuit p50/p90: only the low and high of the twelve admitted circuit medians are served, and no circuit is named. Nothing here is a predicted outcome, and no venue is ranked by speed.
