In the 12-month period ending September 30, 2020, the number of cases filed in the Supreme Court fell compared to the 2018 Term, as did cases filed in the U.S. courts of appeals, bankruptcy courts, probation offices, and pretrial services system. New filings in district courts were nominally greater, but excluding filings connected to a single multidistrict litigation,
they were also lower than the prior year. Filings generally decreased with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, leading to lower annualized rates.
