This article discusses the recent decline in the number of cases that reach trial. As explanations for this decline, Galanter offers a lack of court resources and the length of time it takes cases to reach trial. Galanter also points to the increase in ADR forums (as well as judges’ increasing approval in these forums) as another explanation for the decline in the number of cases reaching trial.
